Denver's locally owned artificial turf experts — now serving Englewood and all of Arapahoe County. Premium residential, pet, putting green, and commercial installations.
Englewood's 35,200 residents pay an average of $1,142/year in water and sewer costs. With 40 official neighborhoods — many governed by HOAs — and a city code that requires maintained yards with grass under 6 inches, the pressure to keep a perfect lawn is real. Artificial turf gives Englewood homeowners a permanently manicured yard that exceeds city code and HOA standards while eliminating the water bill entirely.
In August 2026, Englewood's City Council passed the city's first-ever mandatory watering restrictions in a 5-2 vote, replacing years of voluntary guidance that had only achieved a 5% reduction in water use. The new rule isn't a suggestion — it's enforceable: odd-numbered addresses water Tuesday and Saturday, even-numbered addresses water Wednesday and Sunday. Two days a week, period.
That's a hard number for cool-season grass. Bluegrass and fescue lawns need roughly an inch of water per week to stay healthy, and getting there in two watering sessions on Englewood's clay soil almost always means runoff before the water has a chance to soak in. Artificial turf sidesteps the math entirely — there's no watering schedule to hit because there's no watering requirement at all.
Many Englewood neighborhoods — including Hampden Heights, Bates-Logan Park, and Old Englewood — are HOA-governed, and homeowners often assume their HOA can simply say no to artificial turf. Under Colorado law, they can't. HB21-1229 prohibits HOAs from banning turf outright, and SB23-178 reinforced that protection further. HOAs can still set aesthetic guidelines — blade height, color, seam placement — but a blanket ban on artificial turf is no longer legal in Colorado.
Englewood sits in a heavy clay belt with low permeability, which is why standing water after rain is such a common complaint here. A proper installation accounts for that from the start: excavation 3 to 4 inches deep, a crushed aggregate base (Class II road base or decomposed granite) compacted in lifts, turf backing with adequate drainage perforations, and perimeter drainage channels wherever the yard's grade doesn't allow natural runoff.
Get any one of those steps wrong and the surface tells you within a season — pooling, soft spots, or a backing layer that degrades faster than it should. If you have dogs, drainage design matters even more for odor control; see our pet turf guide for how that works.
Timber Turf Works provides full-service artificial turf installation across Englewood 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.
Most Englewood installations fall between $3,000 and $15,000 for a typical residential project. Sites with heavier clay soil tend to land toward the middle-to-upper end of that range because of the added base preparation involved.
