What Makes Timberline a Local Landscaping Company for Lakewood?

A local landscaping company understands the soil, slopes, and seasons your yard actually faces. Timberline has worked across the Denver metro area and Jefferson County since 1968, and many crew members have stayed with us for years. That continuity helps us design for freeze-thaw cycles, late spring snowstorms, and dry summers. For Lakewood customers, this knowledge shapes plant choices, drainage plans, and hardscape materials.

Lakewood Neighborhoods and the Yards in Them

Each Lakewood neighborhood asks for a different kind of design. Green Mountain properties often have hillside grade changes and Front Range views, which reward thoughtful terracing and native plantings. Belmar's urban grid calls for creative front-yard designs that make the most of tighter lots. Applewood's mature tree canopy and larger parcels leave room for expansive garden beds and custom water features. We also serve nearby Wheat Ridge, Arvada, and Denver, so our crews already know the surrounding area and the way each community uses its outdoor space.

One Design and Build Team From Start to Finish

Timberline is a design and build company, so one team handles your project from concept to completion. You avoid handoffs between a designer and a separate crew, which can keep goals and budgets aligned. Our team designs and builds the following:

  • Custom landscape designs shaped around your lot and lifestyle.
  • Plantings, sod, shrubs, trees, and garden beds.
  • Paver patios, walkways, and retaining walls built for Colorado's climate.
  • Ponds, fountains, and waterfalls that fit your space.
  • Sprinkler and drip irrigation systems sized to your planting zones.
  • Landscape lighting that extends how you use your yard after dark.


Benefits of Working With a Local Team

A local team can make a landscape project smoother from start to finish. Crews that know nearby streets and soil conditions can plan access, drainage, and plant choices with fewer surprises. Clients often mention the owner's hands-on involvement, the crew's professionalism, and projects that finish on schedule and within the approved budget. You can also see the range of our past work before you commit to anything, which helps you judge whether our style fits your taste. Every project starts with a free estimate, so you can ask questions first.

How Our Process Works

  1. Consultation and site review, where we walk your property and talk through your goals and budget.
  2. Design plan that accounts for soil, drainage, sun, and grade.
  3. Material and plant selection, where we recommend plants, hardscape materials, and irrigation components that perform in Colorado's climate.
  4. Installation by our experienced crew, with attention to detail and respect for your property.
  5. Final walkthrough to confirm the finished yard matches the plan.


Who We Build For

Our work suits homeowners and businesses that want a finished outdoor space and a single team to deliver it. Common projects include the following:


  • Hillside yards that need terraced beds or retaining walls.
  • Front yards that need stronger curb appeal on a smaller lot.
  • Backyards that need a patio, seating area, or water feature.
  • Yards that would benefit from a water-wise xeriscape design.
