Landscaping a Historic Northwest Suburb
Arvada stretches across northwest Jefferson County from established neighborhoods near the historic Olde Town core out to newer subdivisions climbing toward the foothills. It blends mature, settled yards with newer construction, all on the high, semi-arid Front Range. That mix gives our Arvada work a balance of renovation, water-wise updates, and new-landscape establishment.
The setting is alkaline clay at high altitude, with intense sun, late spring freezes, and hail, turning rockier toward the foothills on the west side.
Cool-Season Lawns and Renovation
Front Range lawns are cool-season turf: Kentucky bluegrass for a classic look and turf-type tall fescue for better drought and shade tolerance, fed in spring and fall, mowed tall, and core-aerated to open the clay. Many established Arvada yards benefit from renovation, reviving thinning turf, replacing overgrown shrubs, and re-cutting clean beds, while we time care around late freezes and intense high-altitude sun.
Xeriscape and Efficient Water
With Front Range water restrictions, xeriscape is a smart choice in Arvada. We convert thirsty turf to water-wise landscapes using Colorado natives, penstemon, rabbitbrush, ornamental grasses, plus decorative rock and crisp edging, keeping practical lawn only where it is used. We design efficient drip and weather-based irrigation and build patios and walls on a base prepared for clay and, toward the foothills, slope.
Arvada Areas We Serve
We provide full landscaping throughout Arvada and Jefferson County, including Olde Town and the established central neighborhoods, the West Woods and Candelas areas, the communities along Indiana Street and Ralston Road, and the foothill-edge subdivisions toward the west.
