Lawn Removal Service - Resource Central

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 jumpstart 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 50% discounts, up to $500, 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.

How It Works

STEP 1: Sign Up

Share your contact information and tell us a bit about your lawn removal project! Simply submit the 1-minute enrollment form below or call 303-999-3820 ext. 221 to get started.

STEP 2: Review & Confirm

If your water utility offers a discount, we’ll send you a short application to gather a bit more info. After that, we’ll have a phone consultation to review your project, answer questions, provide a price estimate, and make sure that your project will help save water. If approved, we’ll collect a $100 deposit and schedule a time to complete the project. Scheduling starts in February with projects occurring from mid May through late September.

STEP 3: Save!

After your contactless Lawn Removal Service, you’ll be left with bare ground and will be ready to complete your waterwise landscape transformation. By removing lawn, you’re sure to save water, money, time, and resources!
