Artificial turf in Parker, CO
Parker (Douglas County) has about 62,743 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 Parker, in numbers
Summer highs in Parker average 84 F, a moderate summer where turf stays comfortable underfoot all day.
About 15 inches of rain fall a year, less than a lawn needs in summer, so irrigation makes up the difference.
Winter lows average 19 F. Freezing does not harm turf; the blades stiffen in a hard frost and relax again when it warms.
USDA hardiness zone 5b.

Water rules and rebates that apply in Parker
