Water-thirsty Kentucky bluegrass doesn’t fit naturally into Colorado’s semi-arid environment. It’s often a household’s biggest water user and removing it helps conserve and protect our precious water resources.
Look for an unused area of turfgrass, maybe an area that you only walk on to mow. This is a great space to remodel into a climate-resilient ColoradoScape with cooling shade trees and water-wise plants.
To help, Denver Water has partnered with the Boulder nonprofit Resource Central to offer a limited number of discounts (up to $750) on 2025 turfgrass removal services for our residential customers.
Application requirements include:
- The removal of at least 200 square feet of water-intensive turfgrass.
- A photo of the area to be transformed.
- Plans for the new water-wise landscape (artificial turf is not allowed).
We’re also offering a limited number of $25 discounts on Resource Central’s popular, professionally designed Garden In A Box water-wise kits. Kits go on sale in March, for pickup and planting in April and May. The fall sale starts in July, with pickup and planting in August and September.
