Front Range conditions move pricing: alkaline, compaction-prone clay soil, a short high-altitude growing season, cool-season turf, and Denver Water’s summer watering rules that make efficient irrigation a real budget line.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does landscaping cost in Denver?
As a planning range, lawn maintenance runs about $40 to $70 per visit, a paver patio $14 to $30 per square foot, and a full design-and-install commonly $8,000 to $25,000+. These are regional third-party estimates, not a quote — call (720) 650-0165 for a written number.
Does Denver’s clay soil add to landscaping cost?
It can. Front Range soils are alkaline, compaction-prone clay that is low in organic matter, so aeration, soil amendment, and a properly built hardscape base are worth the up-front cost to avoid drainage problems and settling later.
Why does Denver’s short season affect irrigation cost?
A correctly zoned system that waters deeply within Denver Water’s allowed days and hours, plus drip for beds, protects plants through the dry, high-altitude summer. Right-sizing the install up front avoids waste and keeps you within the summer rules.
