Wheat Ridge homeowners are replacing their lawns. Here’s how Xeris makes it easy.
Wheat Ridge sits right next to our home base in Lakewood — which means when a Wheat Ridge homeowner calls, we’re usually there for an estimate within a day or two. No waiting on a crew to route out from across the metro. No scheduling lag. Fast turnaround from first call to boots on the ground.
Wheat Ridge is a mix: older ranch homes along the corridor between 38th Avenue and Wadsworth, newer builds closer to the edges, and a lot of mid-size yards that homeowners are trying to make work harder without throwing more water at them. Artificial turf solves that problem cleanly — and in Wheat Ridge, where many properties are on the smaller side, good design and efficient use of space matter more than a one-size-fits-all installation.
Denver metro averages 14 inches of rain a year. Bluegrass needs twice that. The math doesn’t work — and it’s been not working for most Wheat Ridge homeowners for years. Artificial turf cuts water use by 75% on average, eliminates mowing, and stays usable in March when natural grass is still dormant and muddy. For smaller yards especially, that trade-off lands well.

Why Base Prep Matters in Wheat Ridge — Smaller Lots, No Room for Error
Wheat Ridge’s older ranch homes often come with decades of soil compaction, uneven grading, and in some cases buried debris from previous landscaping. Smaller lots mean less margin for drainage error — water has fewer places to go, and a base that doesn’t drain correctly creates problems fast. We’ve seen installations in similar neighborhoods where contractors cut corners on excavation depth and ended up with pooling under the turf within a season.
We don’t shortcut the base. Every Wheat Ridge installation starts with proper excavation, a compacted aggregate layer, and drainage verification before turf goes down. In smaller yards, the precision matters more — not less — because there’s less space to absorb the consequences of a mistake.
