Frequently Asked Questions

Get Your Questions Answered for Your Preferred Landscaping Company in Colorado Springs, CO

Do you charge for your designs/estimates?

We do. We spend a lot of time with our thorough landscape process so there are very few surprises (usually none) when we start your landscape installation. 

Do you offer designs for DIYers?

We do not. Our bread and butter comes from installing landscapes so we focus on those clients that need installations as well.  We do have a person we refer to that just does designs so you can still give us a call.  

Typically, how booked out are you?

That depends on the season but we are routinely booked out a minimum of 2 months for landscape installs and 3 weeks for designs.

I am building a new home, when should I start the design process?

We recommend starting the process as soon as possible after the walls are up and the property grading is close to final. That way we can get there closer to your closing date and you don’t have to live with a dirt yard for long.

Can I phase in my landscaping?

You sure can!  We can create a master plan to work off of and guide you toward what should be installed first so we don’t tear up phase 1 when we do phase 2 and so on. 

When is the best time to plant?

Typically spring and fall are the best times to plant although we do plant throughout the growing season.  We can also plant trees during the winter with great success.

Do you offer maintenance services?

We don’t. We are strictly a design/build firm but we do have a lot of maintenance knowledge to share should you want to maintain your own landscape.

How much should I plan to spend?

For information regarding budget, please reference our Pricing Page or our blog article How much does an average landscape cost?

Are you properly insured?

We are properly insured. We maintain full liability, auto, and workman’s comp insurances.  Should you require a certificate of insurance before we start your project we would be happy to do so.  

Do I need approval from my HOA?

Yes!  We have worked with pretty much every HOA in town over the years and are familiar with their requirements.  If we haven’t we’ll find out!  We can help guide you through that process and provide all of the materials required for HOA approval.  

When should I blow out my sprinkler system? Do you offer that service?

It is a good idea to drain your sprinkler system when temperatures are consistently getting below 32 degrees in the evening to prevent damage to your backflow prevention device.  We do not offer this service but can walk you through the steps should you want to do it yourself.  

Can I run my water feature through the winter?

That depends on the size of your feature.  Bubbling boulders and smaller features will need to be turned off and the pump pulled out for the winter, we can show you how to do this.  Larger features such as streams and ponds can be run throughout the winter as long as it’s flowing at 6,000 GPH and has an aerator in the pond portion.  

Is the gas line the builder installed safe to hook up to a fire pit?

Usually not, the common gas lines installed by builders are 60k BTU which is perfect for a grill.  Our fire pits start at 120k BTU and go up from there.  We have a licensed gas company come and install all new lines to fire pits.
