Leave the Heavy Lifting to Us

Converting thirsty lawn into a beautiful, low-water, pollinator-friendly landscape doesn’t have to be exhausting and time consuming! Resource Central’s new Lawn Removal Service is here to help jump-start your waterwise landscape project by physically removing and composting a section of your lawn. We’ll help get you one step closer to planting the low maintenance Garden In A Box you’ve always dreamed of!

The Lawn Removal Service is contactless and available in most Colorado communities for just $2 per square foot. A limited number of discounts, up to $500 off, are available to qualified homeowners on a first come, first served basis thanks to our partnerships with local water utilities. All projects must be at least 200 square feet.

    • The area of lawn to be removed is currently watered and maintained on a regular schedule

“The entire process was FANTASTIC, so easy and everyone was super helpful. This is a tremendous resource for the communities Resource Central serves and is so important given the mega drought CO is experiencing for homeowners to be able to eliminate some of the largest water hogs inside and outside the house at a large discount.
