Boulder County
Artificial turf and hardscaping in Boulder, Colorado
Boulder yards are expensive ground and the city pays attention to what happens on them. Older homes in Mapleton Hill and Whittier sit in historic districts, some lots along the creeks are in a mapped floodplain, and foothill neighbourhoods come with slope. The work here is usually hardscape-led, with turf and rock filling in around a patio that was planned properly.

What is different about Boulder yards
Historic districts can mean review
Exterior changes in Boulder's historic districts can require review before work starts. Whether a given patio, wall or walk needs it depends on the district and the scope, so we check before we schedule, not after.
Know if your lot is in the floodplain
Parts of Boulder along the creeks sit in mapped floodplain, and work there can carry extra permitting. It also changes how we think about drainage and anything that sits on grade. We look at the city's floodplain maps at the estimate.
Slope on the west side
Foothill lots toward the mountains drop fast. Terracing with walls is often how you get usable flat space, and taller walls need engineering. We scope the walls and the drainage together, since one fails without the other.

Do I need city approval for a patio in Boulder?
Sometimes. Historic district and floodplain lots are the common cases. We check your property against current city requirements before scoping, and tell you what we find.
Is turf a good fit in Boulder?
For play areas, dog runs and putting greens, often yes. A lot of Boulder clients prefer a mix of turf, rock and native planting over a full turf yard, and we design either way.
