Artificial turf in Denver, CO

Denver is home to about 716,577 people in Denver County. 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 Denver, in numbers

Summer highs in Denver average 87 F. That is warm enough that a natural lawn needs regular watering from late spring through early fall.

About 15 inches of rain fall a year, less than a lawn needs in summer, so irrigation makes up the difference.

Winter lows average 18 F with about 49 inches of snow. Turf tolerates both; let snow melt on its own rather than scraping it with a metal shovel.

USDA hardiness zone 6a.
