Denver's locally owned artificial turf experts — now serving Centennial and all of Arapahoe County. Premium residential, pet, putting green, and commercial installations.
With nearly 109,000 residents spread across heavily HOA-governed neighborhoods like Willow Creek, Castlewood, and Southglenn, Centennial homeowners face a common dilemma: maintaining a green lawn that meets HOA standards while dealing with 73 inches of annual snowfall and summer temperatures pushing 89°F. Artificial turf eliminates the trade-off — giving you year-round curb appeal with zero maintenance.
Centennial doesn't have a single water utility, and that makes lawn watering rules more confusing here than almost anywhere else in the Denver metro. Depending on your address, you could be under Denver Water's Stage 1 restrictions, East Cherry Creek Valley's (ECCV) own tiered drought program, or Willows Water District's independent rules — and each one sets its own watering days, hours, and enforcement.
Denver Water customers are currently limited to two watering days per week, assigned by address parity. ECCV runs a separate tiered program that can tighten further during drought years. Willows Water District sets its own schedule independent of both. If your property sits near a district boundary, don't assume — check directly with your provider or your water bill to confirm which rules actually apply to your address.
Artificial turf sidesteps the confusion entirely. It doesn't need a watering schedule from any provider, which matters in a city where three different utilities can govern three different streets.
Centennial sits on the same dense clay that runs through most of the south Denver metro. Clay doesn't drain — it holds water at the surface and lets it pool. A turf installation that doesn't account for this will show it within the first year: standing water, an uneven surface, and a backing layer that breaks down faster than it should.
A proper installation on Centennial's clay soil requires excavating several inches of native soil, building a compacted aggregate or decomposed granite base, and grading that base so water moves toward a drain or permeable edge instead of collecting under the turf. Timber Turf Works uses the same crew from start to finish on every job — no subcontractors — because base prep decisions made on day one are what determine whether the install holds up.
Timber Turf Works provides full-service artificial turf installation across Centennial and surrounding areas in Arapahoe County. Whether you need a backyard conversion, pet turf zone, putting green, or commercial installation, our team handles everything from design to final walkthrough.
Centennial has one of the heaviest HOA presences in the Denver metro, and a common question we hear is whether an HOA can simply say no to artificial turf. Under Colorado's HB21-1229, the answer is no — state law prevents HOAs from prohibiting drought-tolerant landscaping, including artificial turf and xeriscape, as a matter of policy.
That doesn't mean HOAs have no say. They can still set reasonable aesthetic and installation guidelines — turf color, pile height, edging treatment, and pre-approval requirements before work begins. We recommend submitting your application for pre-approval before you set an installation date, since most boards want to review specs first.

The average artificial turf installation in Centennial costs between $3,000 and $15,000 for a typical residential project. Centennial's clay soil often pushes pricing toward the higher end of that range because of the additional base preparation involved.
