Artificial turf in Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Springs (El Paso County) has about 488,664 residents. Here is what the local climate means for a turf lawn, which of our nine lines we would pick, and who can install it.
The climate in Colorado Springs, in numbers
Summer highs in Colorado Springs average 84 F, a moderate summer where turf stays comfortable underfoot all day.
About 16 inches of rain fall a year, less than a lawn needs in summer, so irrigation makes up the difference.
Winter lows average 19 F with about 33 inches of snow. Turf tolerates both; let snow melt on its own rather than scraping it with a metal shovel.
USDA hardiness zone 6a.

Water rules and rebates that apply in Colorado Springs
Colorado Turf Replacement Program (HB22-1151) rebate
The 2022 law funds the Colorado Water Conservation Board with $2 million to pay for voluntary replacement of irrigated turf with water-wise landscaping through local governments, districts, tribes and nonprofits that run their own programs; homeowners apply to those local programs.
Artificial turf: The law does not mention artificial turf; water-wise landscaping is defined by plants with lower water needs.
