    We measure and give you the plan and the price in writing.

  3. We install it

    We take out the old lawn, build and compact the base for your soil, then lay, seam and edge the turf.

Common questions.

Is my Evans neighborhood on non-potable irrigation water?

It depends where you live. The Ridge at Prairie View and Willowbrook draw non-potable water from the Evans Town Ditch; other city-run non-potable systems switched to potable water on August 28, 2026.

Can an Evans HOA put artificial turf in its common areas?

Not in anything the city reviews. The city’s landscape design code, which applies to the common areas of new subdivisions, new or amended site plans and site rehabilitation, says artificial turf is not acceptable for public or common areas.

Does Evans offer a rebate for replacing a lawn?

No lawn-replacement or turf rebate is listed. The 2026 programs are fixture replacement, $25 Garden in a Box kits and sprinkler evaluations.

The fine printEvans’ turf rules and water rates, in fullOpen

The cutoverOnly in Evans

From August 28, 2026, city non-potable systems outside two neighborhoods ran on drinking water.

The Greeley Loveland Irrigation Company told the City its deliveries would no longer be available after August 28, 2026, so from that day Evans moved every city-operated non-potable irrigation system not served by the Ridge Pump Station to potable water, billed at potable rates, for the rest of the season.

The Ridge at Prairie View and Willowbrook were not affected: their non-potable water comes from the Evans Town Ditch, not the irrigation company. East Evans customers who take ditch water directly were not affected either. If you were elsewhere on a city non-potable system, your late-season irrigation was billed at potable rates.

The city buys its treated drinking water from Greeley.

Drought emergencyOnly in Evans

The Evans City Council declared a drought emergency on April 21, 2026.

The vote was unanimous, and outdoor watering restrictions remain in place, enforced under the Evans Municipal Code. No one waters from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.; even addresses water Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday, odd addresses Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Common areasOnly in Evans

Evans code says turf is not acceptable for public or common areas.

Section 18.08.020 of the Evans landscape design code says artificial turf is not acceptable for public or common areas. No rule on single-family yards turned up in the code as codified through January 6, 2026.

For HOA common ground in a new subdivision, site plan or site rehabilitation the city reviews, that rules turf out under the city’s landscape design standards. A private backyard is governed by your HOA and by state law.

Colorado law · the same in every town

On a detached home, an HOA can shape backyard turf. It can’t ban it.

Colorado law says an HOA's landscaping rules may not prohibit artificial turf in the backyard of a detached single-family home, although the HOA can still adopt design and aesthetic guidelines.

How HOA approval works

C.R.S. 38-33.3-106.5(1)(i.5)(I)(A)Added by SB23-178 · in force since Aug 7, 2023

ASSOCIATIONS MAY ADOPT AND ENFORCE DESIGN OR AESTHETIC GUIDELINES OR RULES THAT APPLY TO DROUGHT-TOLERANT VEGETATIVE OR NONVEGETATIVE LANDSCAPES … EXCEPT THAT THE GUIDELINES OR RULES MUST: (A) NOT PROHIBIT THE USE OF NONVEGETATIVE TURF GRASS IN THE BACKYARD OF A UNIT OWNER'S PROPERTY

Read the signed actChecked Sep 24, 2026

  • Homes that share a wall

    For attached single-family homes that share a wall, such as townhomes, Colorado law lets an HOA restrict artificial turf to rear yards only.

    C.R.S. 38-33.3-106.5(1)(i)(I)(A)
  • Front yards

    Colorado law requires each HOA to pre-approve at least 3 water-wise garden designs for front yards, while its artificial-turf protection covers backyards only.

    C.R.S. 38-33.3-106.5(1)(i.5)(II)
  • Special districts

    Colorado law makes unenforceable any HOA covenant or special-district rule that prohibits artificial turf in the backyard of a residential property, except for attached homes and timeshare associations.

    C.R.S. 37-60-126(11)(a.5)
  • If an HOA ignores it

    If an HOA knowingly violates these Colorado landscaping protections, the homeowner must give written notice and 45 days to cure before suing for up to $500 or actual damages, whichever is greater.

    C.R.S. 38-33.3-106.5(1)(i.5)(III)
