What we build.

Before you start in Wellington.

  • New Wellington lots keep 75% live plants between the house and the curb, so turf goes out back.
  • Wellington asks for two-day lawn watering. Turf doesn’t need it.
  • Much of Wellington sits on clay, so base prep matters.

    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 Wellington’s 75% rule apply to my existing front yard?

It depends. The code section is written for new single-family subdivision lots, and building permits for individual houses don’t require landscape plans, but the Town’s manual states the 75% front-yard rule broadly. Ask the Town before you plan front-yard turf.

Are Wellington’s watering days mandatory?

No. The Town words its Resolution 15-2025 schedule as guidelines: water between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. from April through October, and turf grass no more than 2 days a week.

Is there a turf rebate in Wellington?

No. The Town’s program offers reduced-cost Garden In A Box kits and free irrigation audits, with no turf rebate listed.

Front yardsOnly in Wellington

New Wellington lots keep 75% live plants between the house and the curb.

Wellington Municipal Code 15-5-40 requires at least 75% live materials between the front of a single-family house and the curb, excluding the paved driveway, on new single-family subdivision lots. The Town’s Landscape and Irrigation Manual repeats it: a minimum of 75% of the front yard in live plant material.

The same section says building-permit applications for individual single-family houses won’t require landscape plans, and it bars nonfunctional artificial turf in new development and redevelopment, while turf installed before January 1, 2026 may be maintained.

The manual puts standard single-family lots at an average of 6,000 to 8,000 square feet.

Town waterOnly in Wellington

Wellington runs its own water plant and asks for two-day lawn watering.

The Town treats its own water, at a plant whose expansion from 2 to 4.2 million gallons a day it announced on January 10, 2025.

Its watering guidelines, adopted as Resolution 15-2025, ask residents to water only between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. from April through October and to water turf grass no more than 2 days a week. The Town words them as guidelines, not mandates.

The Town’s water-efficiency program offers reduced-cost Garden In A Box kits and free irrigation audits; no turf rebate is listed.

New subdivisionsOnly in Wellington

About 50.3% of Wellington’s homes were built in 2010 or later.

The largest plats in the county’s parcel map include Wellington Place, Buffalo Creek, Sage Meadows, which recorded plats in 2026, and Sundance at Daubert Farm.

New lots in subdivisions like these are the ones the 75% front-yard rule governs.

Clay and hail

About a third of central Wellington is Nunn clay loam.

Soil surveys around central Wellington map Garrett loam and Nunn clay loam, with high shrink-swell Nunn clay loam covering about a third of the area sampled; NRCS rates the Nunn series as limited for building because of shrink-swell.

The largest hail NOAA logged near Wellington from 2011 through 2025 was 2.75 inches, on August 3, 2013. The Fort Collins station, south of town, averages 51.4 inches of snow and 150 nights at or below freezing a year.

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)
