You tell us what the property needs to do. We tell you what the ground will allow, in what order, and what it costs. Then we build it, and we stay on it afterwards.
The builder finishes and hands over a site with poured walks and raw ground. This is the order we take it from there.
Construction wraps, the walks and parking go in, and the ground is still raw. This is where we start — bare ground, walks already in, and everything still to do.
Mainline and heads set while the ground is still open, zoned for how the property is actually used and pressure-tested before a single roll of sod covers any of it.
Steel edging set to the line, beds shaped, mulch and rock placed. Edges are what separate a property that looks maintained from one that has only been mowed.
Sod on prepared ground, run flush to every walk. Trees and shrubs spaced for the size they will actually reach, not the size they are on delivery day.
Turf and mulch set flush to every walk — no lip, no trip hazard, nothing narrowing a route someone has to use. Lighting on, and the property moves onto a maintenance schedule the same week it is handed back.
Illustration — these images show how we sequence a commercial site. They are renderings of our process, not photographs of completed projects. The photographs below are our own work.
The same backyard over a few days, in the order it happened. Photographs, not renderings — nothing staged and nothing borrowed from another job.
Everything starts with what the yard does with water — where it sits after a storm, which way it falls, what is under the first few inches. The grade gets set before anything else goes in.
Excavate to depth, set the edge, lay barrier across the subgrade. Barrier is one of the cheapest lines on an estimate and the reason the base does not disappear into Colorado clay two winters from now.
Base goes in lifts and gets compacted between each one. This is the step that quietly disappears from a low bid, and the one that decides whether you are calling somebody about a settled patio in three years.
Posts set, pergola framed and standing. Cedar cut on site to the yard’s actual dimensions — corners in a real backyard are rarely as square as a drawing assumes.
Beds cut against the flagstone, boulders placed, mulch in. Placement happens on site with the stone in front of us — a boulder sits differently in the ground than it looks on a list.
Perennials and grasses spaced for the size they will actually reach. Then the water gets tuned, the site gets cleaned, and we hand it back.
A lawn, a bed, a fence line or a whole portfolio — the order does not change, only the scale does.
Some of this was built while our crews were with other Front Range contractors. Same hands, same standard.
The trade runs in the family — the Sulzles have been in Front Range landscape work for a long time. We keep the crew small and the standard fixed, and we would rather tell you the ground needs another day than hand back something that only looks right in week one.
Every quote is walked in person. Nothing gets priced off a satellite photo.
One property or a whole portfolio. We’ll come walk it, tell you what the ground needs, and put it in writing. No charge for the walk.
