Water-smart landscaping, built for Colorado
Colorado summers are hot and dry, water keeps getting more expensive, and Arvada's watering restrictions only let you run the sprinklers a few days a week. More and more homeowners are switching to xeriscaping: a water-smart yard of rock, mulch and drought-tolerant native plants that stays good-looking with a fraction of the water. At True Trim Lawns we design and install the whole thing from start to finish, right here in Arvada, and we handle the heavy work so you don't have to.
Why homeowners make the switch
Rock, mulch and native plants need a fraction of the water a lawn does, so you spend less keeping your yard alive through the dry months and the watering limits.
Colorado water providers sometimes offer turf-replacement rebates. We'll help you check whether your project qualifies before we start.
No mowing and very little watering or fertilizing. A water-smart yard looks great year-round with hardly any work.
Proper weed barrier, clean edging and the right rock depth mean it holds up for years instead of turning into a weed patch after one season.
Every xeriscape project is a little different, but most of our Arvada installs include the same core pieces, done properly so it lasts.
We strip out the thirsty lawn and haul it away, then grade and prep the ground so everything sits right.
Commercial-grade fabric under the rock and mulch to keep weeds down for the long haul.
Your choice of decorative rock, cobble or mulch, laid at the right depth for looks and coverage.
Native and water-wise plants that thrive in Colorado and add color without the watering.
Crisp steel or paver edging that separates beds, rock and any remaining lawn for a finished look.
We cap or convert the old spray heads so you're not watering rock, and add simple drip where plants need it.
Thirsty grass in, water-smart yard out. Here's the kind of change we build.
