Yards & conditions in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs sits in USDA hardiness zone 5a with cold, snowy winters and dry, sunny summers. Local yards typically deal with alkaline, sandy-clay soils and high altitude, a short growing season, cold winters and low humidity. That’s why Colorado Springs lawns are usually planted with cold-hardy Kentucky bluegrass and fescue, with the best results in late spring and early fall. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule drainage work in Colorado Springs
