This technical spec sheet details engineering and material standards for successful synthetic turf installations in the Denver metro area, balancing drought restrictions and HOA architectural review requirements.

Key Specifications:

• UV Resistance: Minimum 8,000 denier, UV-stabilized polyethylene monofilament with HALS (Hindered Amine Light Stabilizer) to withstand high-altitude UV exposure.
• Front Range Clay Sub-Base: 4–6" excavation, geotextile fabric, 3–4" of Class 6 road base (95% Proctor compaction), and 1/4" decomposed granite cap to prevent shifting in bentonite clay.
• Drainage: Minimum 30 in/hr for residential lawns; 100+ in/hr for pet-friendly-turf.
• Infill: Kiln-dried silica, antimicrobial sand (Envirofill), or zeolite. Avoid crumb rubber due to extreme heat (150°F+).
