"Henry and his team did an amazing job re-landscaping my side front yard. They removed worn-out sod and put in a mix of rock, mulch, large stones and drought-resistant perennials in it's place. They came when they said they would, did a wonderfully professional job, cleaned up when they were finished . . . all in less than a day!"

"No job is too small. Instead of requiring a minimum dollar amount Cruz quoted me a fair price for my 130sqft yard. My yard is beautiful now! They installed artificial grass/turf and put my pergola together! I would recommend this family business to anyone doing landscaping."

"My husband and I were so happy to have Frank and his amazing team at Honest Hands Landscaping for our hardscape project. We had them create a custom fire pit and built in bbq, and the work and communication were A+ from start to finish. We had met with a handful of other companies before picking Honest Hands, and I would recommend Frank and his crew above anyone else in Boulder."

"We hired them to trim trees in the front and back and to remove a pine tree in our front yard that was killing our grass. They were professional, quick and cleaned up every last piece. Our yard looked brand new when they finished!"

"My wife and I decided it was time to xeriscape our front yard and we wanted to do it ourselves. The first thing we needed to do is have our beautiful lawn of 45 years removed. It was hard to say goodbye to an old friend but it was time. So, enter Miguel and crew with Summit Landscaping to do this back breaking job. They removed 1,201 sq ft of grass, cleaned up the area, and were finished and on their way in 4 hours. Now we can start transforming our front yard into a beautifully low to no water landscaped area. Thank you Miquel and crew. You all did a fantastic job!"

Landscaping questions, answered by experts

If you are xeriscaping a lawn from scratch, your best bet for preparing the lawn is to work with a xeriscaping specialist in your area. The most common first step to making the transformation, however, will be to remove the turfgrass from your lawn. The subsequent steps will often include amending the soil to support new plants and installing low-drip or drip irrigation systems.

There are two main times of year to apply mulch: mid to late spring and late fall. Spreading mulch in mid to late spring helps protect new seedlings as the soil warms up. It's best to wait until temperatures are steady, as mulching too early in the spring can slow down the soil's warming process and hinder plant growth. Fall mulching is also beneficial, as it insulates the soil and helps regulate its temperature when the first frosts arrive.

While there are over 400,000 different flowering plants worldwide, there are five main types of flowers. These flower types are based on their lifecycles, giving each type a unique personality. These types are:

  • Annuals, which complete their entire life cycle within a single growing season. 

  • Perennials, which the tops die off in the winter but regrow in spring. 

  • Biennials, which complete their entire life cycle within two years.

  • Hybrids, which exhibit either annual or perennial behaviors depending on location

  • Flowering shrubs, which are small to medium-sized perennial woody plants, such as shrubs or evergreens.

The cost to plant a small tree or sapling is between $100 and $300 on average, if you hire a professional. Big trees will cost more and usually require the work of a specialist, so expect to pay over $1,000 for those.

As with anything you do near your foundation, you’ll want to ensure proper drainage when you plant your foundation beds. Your drainage should run downhill from the highest point against your foundation to avoid water intrusion and incurring expensive foundation repair costs.
