Why Hire a Local Landscape Design Company Serving Lakewood, CO?

A local firm understands your neighborhood in ways a regional chain simply cannot. Lakewood, CO, sits at the edge of Jefferson County's foothills, meaning properties range from sloped hillside lots near Green Mountain to flat, sun-exposed yards in Belmar and the established mid-century blocks of Applewood. Soil conditions, drainage patterns, and sun exposure vary block by block. A landscape design company rooted in this region can select plants, materials, and irrigation approaches that perform through Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles, late spring snowstorms, and dry summers. Generic designs chosen without local knowledge often result in landscaping that struggles within a season or two.


Timberline Gardens Landscaping, Inc. has been family-owned and family-operated since its founding in the Arvada area. That legacy means personalized service, direct communication with ownership, and a crew where many members have worked together for years. When you hire a landscape design company with that kind of continuity, you get real institutional knowledge, not a rotating roster of subcontractors.


Services We Offer

Timberline Gardens provides a full design-to-installation scope, so you work with one trusted team from the first sketch to the final planted bed. Services available to Lakewood homeowners include:


  • Custom landscape design tailored to your lot's layout, sun exposure, and lifestyle goals.
  • Full landscape installation covering plants, lawns, garden beds, and ground cover.
  • Xeriscaping and drought-tolerant planting plans suited to Colorado's semi-arid conditions.

  • Outdoor lighting design to extend the usability and curb appeal of your space.

 

Our Design-to-Installation Process

  1. Consultation and Site Review. We visit your Lakewood property, walk the space with you, and learn about your goals and budget.
  2. Custom Design Plan. Our team develops a design that reflects your vision while accounting for your site's soil, drainage, sun, and grade conditions.
  3. Material and Plant Selection. We recommend plants, hardscape materials, and irrigation components that perform in Colorado's climate.
  4. Installation. Our experienced crew handles all construction and planting with attention to detail and respect for your property.
  5. Final Walkthrough. We review the completed project with you and make sure every element meets your expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Should I Look for in a Landscape Design Company?

    Look for verifiable local experience, a consistent crew, and a clear design-build process. A good firm listens first, walks your property before proposing anything, and delivers a plan that reflects your site's actual conditions rather than a one-size-fits-all template.

  • Do You Offer Free Consultations for Lakewood Projects?

    Yes. Timberline Gardens typically starts with an on-site visit to understand your space before recommending a design direction. Contact us at (303) 420-4062 to get scheduled.

  • How Long Does a Landscape Design and Installation Project Take?

    Timelines vary by scope and seasonal scheduling. Smaller installs may wrap up in a few days, while projects involving hardscaping, irrigation, and water features can span one to several weeks. We provide a realistic timeline estimate during your consultation.

  • Is Xeriscaping a Good Option for My Lakewood Yard?

    Xeriscaping is an excellent fit for many Lakewood properties given Colorado's semi-arid climate and periodic water restrictions. Drought-tolerant plantings, decorative rock, and efficient drip irrigation produce an attractive, low-maintenance yard that holds up through dry summers and cold winters.
