Lakewood homeowners are replacing their lawns. Here’s how Xeris makes it easy.
Lakewood is Xeris’s home market — our crews work here every week. From Green Mountain to Belmar, Kendrick Lake to Union Hills, we know the neighborhoods, the soil conditions, and the kinds of yards that show up on our schedule. When Lakewood homeowners ask about artificial turf, we’re not guessing at what their yard looks like. We’ve probably been on a street nearby.
Denver metro averages 14 inches of rain a year. Bluegrass needs twice that. The gap is filled with irrigation water — money out the door every summer, and a lawn that still looks stressed by August no matter how much you run the system. More Lakewood homeowners are making the switch: residential lawns, dog runs, putting greens, HOA common areas. The work is straightforward when the installation is done right.
Xeris installs artificial turf across all of Lakewood — and because we’re local, response times are fast, we know the permit landscape, and we understand what actually works in this soil. That matters more than most homeowners realize before they start digging.

Why Base Prep Matters in Lakewood — Clay Soil Is the Variable
Lakewood sits on some of the clay-heaviest soil in the metro. That matters for artificial turf because clay doesn’t drain — it compacts and holds water. An installer who skips proper base preparation on a Lakewood property is setting up a drainage failure in year two or three. Water pools under the turf, the base shifts, and the surface degrades well before its service life.
On every Lakewood installation, we excavate to appropriate depth, install a compacted aggregate base that gives water a path out, and verify drainage before the turf goes down. It adds time and it adds cost — and it’s the difference between a turf installation that holds up for 20 years and one that doesn’t. Clay soil isn’t a reason to avoid artificial turf in Lakewood. It’s a reason to be specific about who installs it.
