Yards & conditions in Aurora
Aurora sits in USDA hardiness zone 5b 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 Aurora 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 retaining wall work in Aurora
Retaining wall work in Aurora goes best in late spring and early fall and other dry periods, when the soil is workable and drainage can be set correctly. Taller walls may need permit lead time.
