FAQs
What's the best way to prevent a rock garden from shifting in Thornton's soil?
Shifting rock gardens are a common issue in our local soil conditions. We address this by first properly grading and compacting the base area. For a lasting solution, we often incorporate a sturdy edging system or a low retaining wall to contain the rocks. Using the right size and type of gravel as a base layer is also crucial for drainage and stability, preventing the freeze-thaw cycles common in Thornton from causing movement.
Do you offer design services for a full backyard remodel?
Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape design and construction. Starting with your vision, we can design and install everything from new patios and walkways to retaining walls, fences, irrigation systems, and full plantings. Our process transforms outdated or problematic yards into cohesive, beautiful outdoor living spaces tailored to your Thornton home.
Can you repair an existing wood fence and also weatherproof it?
Absolutely. We handle all aspects of fence care. Our team can repair loose posts, broken boards, or sagging gates to restore structural integrity. Once repairs are complete, we recommend and apply a professional-grade stain or sealant to weatherproof the wood. This protects your fence from Colorado's intense sun, dry air, and winter moisture, extending its life significantly.

Company Background
Leaf & Stone Landscaping in Thornton was founded by an owner whose journey from restaurant manager to firefighter and paramedic instilled a deep appreciation for tackling challenges head-on. What started as childhood chores in his mother's yard has grown into a dedicated local landscaping business. We build on that practical foundation, offering services from simple lawn care to complete yard remodels. Our work includes installing sprinkler systems, sod, retaining walls, paver and flagstone patios, wood fences, and full plantings of trees, shrubs, and flowers. We focus on creating beautiful, functional outdoor spaces for homeowners to enjoy. While we handle major installations and rebuilds, we currently do not provide routine lawn maintenance, sprinkler blowouts, startups, or aeration.
