Spring · March–May
The yard wakes up. So does the phone.
Everybody calls the first warm Saturday in April. Book the cleanup and the sprinkler start-up together in March and you're on the truck before the rush — and we find the frozen head before it floods your neighbor's driveway.
Spring cleanup & bed refresh
Winter debris out, beds edged, mulch topped, perennials cut back on the right schedule for our late frosts.
$240–$680 per visit
Sprinkler start-up & inspection
Every zone run, every head checked, controller reset for Colorado's watering rules. Cracked lines found now cost a fraction of what they cost in July.
$95 flat · repairs quoted on the spot
Aeration & overseed
Front Range clay compacts like a parking lot. Core aeration is the single cheapest thing you can do for a lawn here.
$85–$160 by lot size
Summer · June–August
Water is the whole game here.
The number that matters
of a typical Front Range home's summer water goes on the lawn. A sprinkler zone with one bad head, or a controller still on the spring schedule, quietly doubles that. We fix the leak first, then talk about the pretty stuff.
Thinking about swapping thirsty turf for a water-wise yard? Ask us whether your water provider is currently offering a turf-replacement rebate — several along the Front Range do, and we handle the paperwork when they are.
Colorado summers got real. The yards that look good in August are the ones somebody designed for August: drip on the beds, smart controllers, native plants that don't sulk at 95°.
Sprinkler repair
Heads, valves, broken lines, controllers, wiring faults. On site within 48 hours in season — usually sooner.
$95 diagnostic — applied to the repair
Water-wise conversion
Turf out, drip and native plantings in. Designed so it looks intentional, not like you gave up.
$6–$14 per sq ft, designed & built
Weekly care programs
Mow, edge, blow, and a set of eyes on the irrigation every single visit. That last part is why the lawn's still green in August.
$55–$140 per visit
Fall · September–November
The one appointment you can't skip.
A sprinkler line with water in it on the first hard-freeze night splits open, and you find out in April when the yard turns into a pond. The blowout is $85. The April repair averages $650. We put every customer on a list and call them before the freeze — you don't have to remember.
Sprinkler blowout (winterization)
Compressed air through every zone, controller shut down properly, backflow protected. Ten minutes that saves a season.
$85 flat · up to 8 zones
Fall cleanup & leaf removal
Leaves, spent annuals, final mow, beds tucked in. Done once, done right, before the snow makes it a spring problem.
$220–$620 per visit
Fall planting & tree care
Fall is the best planting window on the Front Range — cooler air, warm soil. Trees, shrubs, and bulbs go in now and thank you in May.
Quoted per plan
Winter · December–February
Snow on the ground. Plans on the table.
Winter is when the big projects get designed, priced, and scheduled — so they break ground in April instead of getting quoted in April. Design consults are free in January and February, because a drawing costs us an afternoon and gets you a better yard.
Landscape design & build
Patios, walls, beds, drip, lighting — designed for the lot you have and the water we get. One crew, one plan, one number.
$4,500–$14,000 typical project
Commercial snow routes
Small commercial lots and HOA entries around Berthoud and Johnstown. Pushed by 6 AM on a 2-inch trigger — contracted by the season, not the storm.
Seasonal contract, quoted per lot
Honest pricing
The prices, published. Because you'd want them.
Most landscapers make you book a walk-through to hear a number. Here's ours up front — and what actually moves the number, so nothing on the invoice is a surprise.
What moves the number: lot size, how many irrigation zones you have, slope and access (a backyard we can't get a machine into is a shovel job), and whether we're repairing or rebuilding. What never moves it: your neighborhood, how new your house is, or how far behind the yard has gotten. Nobody gets charged for being embarrassed about their lawn.
Neighbors, on the record
Fifteen seasons leave a paper trail.
"Two companies told me to rip out the whole system. Dana found a stuck valve, replaced three heads, and charged me $210. The lawn came back in two weeks."
— Johnstown · sprinkler repair, June
"They called ME about the blowout the week before the freeze. I hadn't even thought about it. That's the kind of thing you don't know you're paying for until somebody doesn't do it."
— Berthoud · winterization, October
"Took out 900 square feet of dying grass in the front. It looks like a magazine, the water bill dropped, and the rebate paperwork was done for me. The drawing they showed me in January is exactly what I got."
— Loveland · water-wise conversion, spring build
The person who shows up
Dana Whitlock
Owner · Lead Designer
"I've buried more sprinkler pipe in Berthoud clay than I care to count. Here's the rule the business runs on: fix what should be fixed, build what's worth building, and never sell a yard that can't live on Colorado water."
Dana walks every property herself and runs a crew of four she's worked with for years. No door-to-door sales, no subcontractors you've never met. The person who draws the plan is the person on site when it goes in.
