Welcome to Lawn Removal Service!
Ready to replace your lawn but not interested in doing the removal yourself? Nonprofit Resource Central’s Lawn Removal Service is a professional removal service rooted in conservation.
This service makes transitioning to a waterwise landscape simple and stress-free. Participants receive professional lawn removal services that create a clean slate for their next landscape chapter, all while contributing to meaningful water conservation across Colorado.
This service is for professional removal only. We also offer a Do-It-Yourself option if you want to take on the project yourself.
Crews operate from late May through late summer, weather dependent. Appointments open on a rolling basis, allowing you to select a date that fits your schedule.
How Our Removal Services Work
Our crew arrives with professional sod-cutting equipment, removes your unwanted turf, and hauls it away for composting. When the work is complete, you are left with a clean, soil ready for your waterwise landscape plans.
1. Is Your Lawn Ready For Removal?
Let’s make sure your lawn qualifies:
- It is healthy and well-maintained
- It has not already been removed
- You want to replace your lawn with at least 50% of plant material
