When the Grass is Always Greener
Meet the Van Hilsens and Grass365
Edited by Lee Harper
Sara and Zach Van Hilsen, like many couples, have enjoyed an amazing journey raising four children and juggling busy careers — she in marketing and education and Zach as a pediatric dentist. Then a few years ago, they set out to “merge” their lives, intent on starting some kind of service business together.

After months of research, Sara says, “I finally found the perfect area of service and the perfect company – Grass365. With my husband being raised in the construction and landscaping industry with his father, this was a good fit for us. We love the unique product line and the opportunity to serve our community.”
The Van Hilsens have truly merged their careers — and enjoy the time they spend together — helping Colorado Springs residents achieve the beauty, look, and feel of a beautiful yard 365 days a year, without the work of natural grass.
“This turf has been crafted by a 30-year industry veteran and two engineers,” Zach explains. The underside of their unique turf is 100% permeable, draining over 1,000 inches per hour. This keeps Grass365 turf fresh, beautiful, and green longer — virtually eliminating the odor that can be associated with turf.
Sara and Zach currently run two crews to bring turf to our desert landscape and are excited to share their services with the community. Their installations are completed with the precision of a surgeon and are designed to last over 15 years.
“Our customers become our friends and we love to see their yards transformed by our work.” Zach says, “The smiles on their faces bring tons of satisfaction as they enjoy every facet of our work. Children, pets, and people all love the transformation of the yards we install.”
