Our installation is highly durable and ensures that the landscaping effort lasts for a considerable time before any significant replacement requirements emerge.
Artificial or synthetic grass is fake grass made out of synthetic fibers in strands to mimic the look of real grass. This concept started when artificial turf was created for sports fields. It offered minimal maintenance and upkeep. Since then the industry has grown and you can now get a similar product installed on your lawn.
What are some of the benefits to installing artificial grass?
Artificial Grass is low-maintenance Lawn Care
Get ready to toss out your lawn mower and your water hose. Unlike natural grass, artificial grass doesn’t require mowing or watering. Because of this, you also no longer need your irrigation system which will lower your water bill.
Once the artificial turf installation is complete, your yard is ready to enjoy. You no longer have to worry about fertilizing your yard throughout the year to account for dry and cold seasons. Artificial grass products were created to withstand anything thrown at it.
Artificial Grass is Pet Friendly
Some synthetic turf products were made with chemicals that were not pet-friendly, however, most residential artificial grass lawn products today are pet friendly. Most of these products are hypoallergenic, completely safe for pets, and help keep insects away. Pet turf lawns are more durable than real grass and can handle pet activity like dog claws.
What Are Some Popular Uses of Artificial Grass?
Some homeowners still appreciate the color and life that real grass can provide to their landscape. While synthetic grass is a great option for your yard in Colorado, you may consider using it more sparingly in areas that are high traffic and harder to keep natural grass growing.
Some popular areas to consider synthetic grass with your outdoor space could include:
- Kennels or dog runs
- play areas
- playground turf
- front yards
- putting greens

What is the difference between artificial grass and turf?
The terms "artificial grass" and "turf" are often used interchangeably, but they can have different connotations depending on the context. Artificial grass, also known as synthetic grass, is designed to mimic the appearance and feel of natural grass and is used primarily in residential lawns and commercial landscaping. Turf, on the other hand, can refer to both natural grass surfaces, especially in sports contexts, and synthetic turf, which is engineered for sports fields and is typically more durable and made to withstand heavy use.
How much does artificial grass cost?
The cost of artificial grass can vary widely depending on the quality of the material, the size of the area being covered, and the complexity of the installation. On average, the price for artificial grass ranges from $5 to $20 per square foot, including installation. High-end options or complex installations involving extensive ground preparation can increase the cost.
Do I need a permit for artificial grass installation?
Whether you need a permit for artificial grass installation depends on local regulations. In most cases, residential properties do not require a permit for installing artificial grass in private yards. However, it's always a good idea to check with your local city or county government to ensure compliance with any specific landscaping or building codes, especially if the installation will involve significant ground preparation or drainage alterations.
Is it easy to clean artificial grass?
Yes, artificial grass is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular maintenance typically includes brushing to keep the fibers upright and removing debris with a leaf blower or rake. For spills and stains, artificial grass can be rinsed with water and cleaned with a mild detergent if necessary. Additionally, it’s advisable to occasionally use a weed killer to prevent any growth through the backing and apply a deodorizer to handle pet odors if pets use the area.
