Frequently Asked Questions
How does your team address common Colorado Springs lawn and irrigation issues like patchy grass or valve failures?
Our designs start with understanding your specific site. For patchy growth, we assess soil, sun exposure, and drainage, then recommend grass varieties and soil amendments suited to our climate. For irrigation, Jake's Rainbird Scholarship expertise ensures systems are designed to avoid valve freeze and failure, using proper winterization techniques and durable components that withstand our temperature swings. We build systems for longevity from the start.
We want a new patio and retaining wall. Does your company handle both the design and the construction?
Yes, we provide a seamless process. Our degreed designers create a custom plan for your patio, walkway, or retaining wall that fits your property's aesthetics and function. Then, one of our three dedicated construction crews, led by a project manager, executes the installation. This integrated approach ensures the final build accurately reflects the design vision with quality craftsmanship.
What makes your landscape design process different for homeowners in Colorado Springs?
Owner Jake Harris has lived here since 1983, giving him an intimate understanding of our local weather, soil challenges, and microclimates. This knowledge is foundational. We don't just design for looks; we engineer landscapes for Colorado's conditions. Every plan considers factors like water efficiency, material durability against freeze-thaw cycles, and creating safe, functional spaces for families to enjoy for years.
