Landscaping Denver’s Established West Side
Lakewood is one of Denver’s largest and most established suburbs, stretching across Jefferson County from the city’s edge toward the foothills. Unlike the newer subdivisions on the plains, much of Lakewood is mature, settled neighborhoods with established trees and decades-old landscaping, plus the rolling, rockier ground as you head west. That maturity steers our Lakewood work toward renovation, dependable upkeep, and water-wise updates.
The setting is alkaline clay at high altitude, with intense sun, late freezes, and hail, growing rockier toward the foothills.
Renovation and Cool-Season Lawns
Many Lakewood yards have good bones and tired landscaping: overgrown shrubs, thinning turf under aging trees, and dated beds. We renovate, cutting back or replacing overgrown plants, re-cutting clean bed lines, and reviving cool-season lawns, Kentucky bluegrass and turf-type tall fescue, with spring and fall feeding and core aeration to open the clay. Mature trees mean shade and a fall leaf load, both of which we plan for.
Xeriscape, Slopes, and Stone
Toward the foothills, lots get rockier and more sloped, so we stabilize with terracing, native plantings, and retaining walls, and lean on xeriscape with Colorado natives that thrive on little water under Front Range restrictions. We build patios and walls in stone that suits the foothill setting, on a base prepared for clay and slope, and design efficient drip and weather-based irrigation.
Lakewood Areas We Serve
We provide full landscaping throughout Lakewood and Jefferson County, including the established neighborhoods near Belmar and Green Mountain, the Bear Creek and Union Boulevard areas, the foothill-adjacent communities, and the bordering areas toward Golden and Wheat Ridge.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you renovate older landscapes in Lakewood?
Yes, that is much of our work here. Many Lakewood yards have good bones and overgrown plantings, so we cut back or replace tired shrubs, re-cut clean bed lines, and revive cool-season lawns with feeding and core aeration.
What grass is best for a Lakewood lawn?
Cool-season turf for the Front Range: Kentucky bluegrass for a classic lawn and turf-type tall fescue for better drought and shade tolerance, fed in spring and fall and core-aerated to open the clay.
Can you handle the rockier, sloped foothill lots?
Yes. Toward the foothills we stabilize slopes with terracing, native plantings, and retaining walls, and build stone hardscape on a base prepared for clay and slope.
Do you do xeriscape conversions?
Yes. We convert thirsty turf to water-wise landscapes with Colorado natives and decorative rock under Front Range watering restrictions, keeping practical lawn only where it is used.
What does landscaping cost in Lakewood?
It depends on lot size and whether it is renovation, lawn care, xeriscape, or hardscape. Everything is quoted per property with free written estimates. Call (720) 650-0165 to schedule.
