K & L Landscape Kenny Ricks - Grand Junction's Local Landscapers

The intense, short-duration rainstorms common on the Western Slope can easily wash away standard mulch. We address this by first assessing your property's drainage and slope, then using heavier, interlocking mulch materials and installing proper edging or retaining barriers. For severe slopes, we may recommend erosion control blankets or transitioning to rock or gravel ground cover that is both beautiful and permanent.

Patchy grass here is often due to our alkaline, clay-heavy soil that struggles with water penetration and nutrient retention. We don't just re-seed; we start with a core aeration to relieve soil compaction, then amend the soil with organic material to improve its structure. We then overseed with drought-tolerant grass blends suited for our high desert climate and implement a tailored watering schedule to ensure deep root establishment for a thick, uniform lawn.

Our approach is rooted in local expertise. We select plants that are proven to thrive in our USDA zone, use xeriscaping principles to conserve water, and design hardscapes and drainage systems that account for our seasonal monsoon rains and hot, dry summers. Every plan we create is built for long-term durability and beauty in the Grand Junction environment, saving you time, water, and maintenance headaches down the road.
