Denver Water will give you up to $750 in discounts to change out your grass

Mar 24, 2026, 4:17 PM

Barely any snow in Colorado this winter means there won’t be much water for your grass this summer so Denver Water has a deal for you to help.

Denver Water said its residential customers who replace at least 200 square feet of Kentucky bluegrass, which requires a lot of water, will be eligible for a limited number of discounts up to $750.

The discount will be offered on two programs run by the nonprofit Resource Central: A turf removal service where they take out your grass for you and a Garden In A Box kit where you remove your grass yourself and plant a new kit.

The Garden In A Box program offers ready-to-plant water-wise garden options for shady or sunny areas, with plant-by-number kits that include a care and maintenance guide for new plants.

Application requirements to get Denver Water’s discounts include the removal of at least 200 square feet of the water-intensive Kentucky bluegrass turf, a photo of the area to be transformed, and plans for the new water-wise landscape that will be created, according to Denver Water.
