Artificial turf in Grand Junction, CO
Grand Junction (Mesa County) has about 69,412 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 Grand Junction, in numbers
Summer highs in Grand Junction average 92 F. That is warm enough that a natural lawn needs regular watering from late spring through early fall.
With about 11 inches of rain a year, this is dry country. Watering is the largest cost of a natural lawn here, and often the first thing a utility restricts.
Winter lows average 22 F. Freezing does not harm turf; the blades stiffen in a hard frost and relax again when it warms.
USDA hardiness zone 7a.

Water rules and rebates that apply in Grand Junction
Colorado Turf Replacement Program (HB22-1151) rebate

Artificial turf: The law does not mention artificial turf; water-wise landscaping is defined by plants with lower water needs.
