What we build.

We build the base for what the turf has to do. Dog runs need to drain, greens need a smooth roll, and every lawn has to stay flat on our clay.

Meet the owner.

I’ve been installing artificial turf for 13 years. I started NoCo Turf Co. in Windsor in 2024 to build yards my way: lawns, putting greens, dog runs, play areas, anything that’s turf.

More about us

What's underneath

Built to stay flat on Northern Colorado clay.

Much of the ground here is clay that swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry. What goes under the turf is what keeps a yard flat and draining, year after year.

  1. 01 · Ground

    Check the ground

    Before anything comes out, we look at the soil, the slope and where the water goes.

  2. 02 · Dig

    Take out the old lawn

    The sod and roots come out, and the ground is shaped so water runs away from the house.

  3. 03 · Base

    Build the base

    Crushed rock goes down and gets packed flat. You won’t see it once the turf is on, but it’s what keeps the yard level.

  4. 04 · Turf

    Lay the turf

    The turf is rolled out, seamed, and secured along concrete, rock and borders.

  5. 05 · Infill

    Brush it in

    Infill is brushed in to weigh the turf down and stand the blades up.

Wellington to Longmont.

We work in seventeen towns along I-25. Every town has its own turf rules, and each town’s page lists them.

What homeowners ask us first.

Short answers to the questions we hear most.

Can my HOA stop me from putting turf in my backyard?

Not behind a detached house. Colorado law says an HOA can’t ban artificial turf in your backyard, though it can still set design rules. Front yards aren’t covered, and a townhome HOA can limit turf to the back.

How HOA approval works →

Is artificial turf banned in Colorado now?

Not on your own lot. Since January 1, 2026, Colorado keeps purely decorative turf out of new commercial, HOA common-area and street landscaping. House lots aren’t covered, and play areas, sports fields and putting greens are still allowed. Some towns add their own rules; each town page lists them.

Turf rules, town by town →

Will my water provider give me a rebate for artificial turf?

No. None of the Northern Colorado water rebates we checked in September 2026 pays for artificial turf, and state grant money can’t be used for it either. A planted bed in the same project may still qualify for a plant rebate.

Every provider’s program →

Can artificial turf in Colorado contain PFAS?

Not if it’s installed now. Since January 1, 2026, Colorado bans installing turf with PFAS chemicals added on purpose. Ask any installer for the product’s paperwork.

What Colorado law says →

How much water does replacing a lawn save?

About 15,000 gallons a year for every 1,000 square feet of bluegrass, based on CSU Extension’s watering figures for the Front Range. What that’s worth depends on your water provider and your rates.
