What we build.

Before you start in Mead.

  • Most Mead neighborhoods have a metro district, and each can set its own design rules.
  • On a detached home, your HOA can review backyard turf but can’t ban it.
  • Mead’s soil moves as it wets and dries, so the base matters.

How it works.

  1. Book a yard walk

    Tell us about the yard. We’ll set a time to walk it with you, look at the ground and talk through what you want.

  2. Get a plan and a price

    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.

  4. Walk it together

    We brush it in, clean up, and walk the finished yard with you before we call it done.

Common questions.

Does Mead have its own artificial-turf ordinance?

None turned up. The Mead code as codified through Ord. No. 1075 on April 14, 2025 has no artificial-turf provision, and an ordinance adopted since then would not show there yet, so ask the Town.

Is there a lawn-replacement rebate in Mead?

Not for 2026, and not for turf alone. Little Thompson’s discount on Resource Central lawn removal is closed for the season, and Resource Central requires at least half waterwise plants.

What happens if my Mead lawn goes over its Little Thompson allotment?

You pay more for every gallon above it. Every Little Thompson tap carries an annual allotment, and water above it costs an extra $10 per 1,000 gallons on standard taps and $20 on other residential taps.

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)

Silt loam

Central Mead sits on Wiley-Colby silt loam, a moderate shrink-swell soil.

Soil surveys around central Mead map mostly the Wiley-Colby complex, a moderate shrink-swell silt loam, with Nunn clay loam in places. NRCS rates the Nunn series as limited for building because of shrink-swell.

The largest hail NOAA logged near Mead from 2011 through 2025 was 1.75 inches, on June 18, 2018, and the Longmont 2 ESE station averages 177.7 nights a year at or below freezing.
