Landscape Contractor in Colorado
Full-service landscape design, installation, and renovation for commercial and residential properties across Douglas County and the Denver Metro area. Serving Colorado since 1975 with licensed, insured crews.
A Landscape Contractor Who Knows Colorado
Colorado landscape installation requires a contractor who understands the unique combination of alkaline soils, extreme UV exposure, limited water resources, dramatic elevation changes, and freeze-thaw cycling that defines the Front Range growing environment.
JLS Landscape & Sprinkler has been designing and installing landscapes along Colorado's Front Range since 1975. What started as a residential landscape and irrigation company in Sedalia has grown into a full-service landscape contracting operation serving commercial properties, HOA communities, metro districts, and residential clients across Douglas County and the Denver Metro area.
Our landscape contracting services cover the full scope of outdoor construction -- from initial site assessment and design through grading, drainage, hardscaping, planting, irrigation installation, and post-installation maintenance. We work with property managers who need a parking lot island redesign and homeowners who want a complete backyard transformation. Every project is designed for Colorado's climate zone (USDA 5a-5b along the Palmer Divide) using species that are proven performers at our elevation.
Unlike landscape contractors who subcontract every trade, JLS maintains in-house crews for landscape installation, irrigation, and ongoing maintenance. This means the same company that installs your landscape also maintains it -- ensuring design intent is preserved and warranty issues are handled directly. Our LEED AP-accredited staff members bring sustainable design principles to every project, including water-efficient plant selection, permeable hardscaping options, and native species integration.
We hold all required Colorado licenses and carry comprehensive liability insurance and workers' compensation. Our background-verified team members have been vetted through TheSeal.com. For commercial projects requiring prevailing wage compliance, bonding, or specific insurance thresholds, we meet those requirements as standard practice.

Landscape Contractor FAQ
Yes. JLS holds all required Colorado licenses, carries comprehensive general liability insurance, workers' compensation coverage, and commercial auto insurance. Our team is background-verified through TheSeal.com. For commercial projects requiring specific bonding or insurance thresholds, we meet those requirements as standard practice.
The primary installation seasons are spring (late April through June) and fall (September through mid-October). Fall planting is actually preferred for trees and shrubs in Colorado because roots establish through the cool season without the stress of summer heat. Hardscaping can be installed through late fall before ground freezes. Sod installation works best from May through September.
Yes. JLS installs complete irrigation systems as part of landscape construction. Having one contractor handle both landscape and irrigation eliminates coordination issues, ensures irrigation zones match planting zones, and provides a single point of accountability for the entire project.
