Why Acres Green, CO Homeowners Are Switching to Artificial Turf
A natural lawn asks for a lot in return for looking good. Most homeowners put in hundreds of hours a year mowing, watering, feeding, aerating, reseeding, and fighting off weeds, pests, and fungus. In many parts of Acres Green, CO — heavily shaded yards, sloped lots, homes with busy kids and pets, or tricky soil — natural grass just won't hold up no matter how much effort goes into it. Greencraft Lawncare's artificial turf takes a completely different approach: a lawn that looks full, feels soft underfoot, and asks almost nothing of you once it's in the ground.
The turf we install isn't the stiff, plastic-looking stuff from years ago. Today's turf technology uses multi-fiber blends — long and short blades in several shades of green — that mimic the depth and natural variation you'd see in a healthy real lawn. Quality infill keeps the blades standing upright and adds cushion underfoot, and permeable backing lets rain pass straight through into the ground below instead of pooling. We work exclusively with leading turf manufacturers whose products are tested for UV exposure, heavy use, and long-term color stability, so your lawn holds up for 12 years or more.
Getting the installation right is what makes a turf system last and look good for its full lifespan. Our process starts with fully clearing existing vegetation and excavating the soil to the right depth. We lay a compacted crushed rock base over weed barrier fabric, then roll out the turf so the pile direction matches up and seams disappear. Every edge gets secured with nailer or bender board, infill goes down evenly across the whole surface, and we power-brush the entire area to stand the blades upright. This careful process is exactly what avoids the problems cheaper installs run into — seams pulling apart, poor drainage, an uneven base settling over time, and mismatched pile direction you can spot from across the yard.
We install turf for all kinds of Acres Green, CO properties — front and back yards, narrow side yards, dog runs, kids' play areas, putting greens, commercial entrances and courtyards, and rooftop terraces. Each of these calls for its own pile height, density, infill, and drainage setup, and we adjust our approach for each one to get the best result for how it'll actually be used.

How Greencraft Installs Your Artificial Turf
Walking the Site and Picking Your Turf
We check out your yard, talk through how you'll use the space, and bring samples in different pile heights, fiber types, and color blends so you can see and feel your options before deciding.
Clearing the Ground and Laying Weed Barrier
We dig out existing grass and soil to the depth the job calls for, clear away all organic material, and pin down a sturdy weed barrier fabric so nothing grows back underneath the turf.
Building the Base
We spread and compact a layer of decomposed granite or crushed aggregate to the right depth, creating a stable, level, well-draining base that won't shift or dip over time.
Cutting and Laying the Turf
We cut and orient each roll so the pile runs the same direction throughout, glue and nail seams so they disappear, and anchor every edge with perimeter nailer board for a clean finished line.
Adding Infill and Brushing It In
We spread the chosen infill evenly across the surface, then power-brush the whole area so the fibers stand up naturally for the most realistic look and feel.
