Why Choose Green Acres?
“For over fifteen years we have provided
the highest quality service to Front Range home owners, often
being called in to fix the mistakes of others. Through all of
this I’ve learned to never compromise quality to win a
bid.
When maintenance and replacement costs are also considered,
we’re usually the economic choice.
Ask the hard questions and, before you choose a landscaper,
make sure you’re comparing apples to apples.
Whatever your decision, we wish you the greatest enjoyment of
your new landscape!”

Distinctive Masonry
and Concrete
Our permanent staff of skilled masons provide
the best stonework in Colorado.
Our Colorado buff flagstone (obtained from Masonville,
CO) provides a richer and more interesting surface compared
to less expensive Arizona buff. Our Colorado red flagstone comes
exclusively from Lyons, Colorado.
 |
|
Each dry-stack wall stone is
cut, chiseled and ground to a perfect fit. Each stone exterior
is hand faced.
Mortared flagstone walls include a footer to protect against
freeze-thaw cycles and ground movement. |
Cut stone paths and patios are precisely
fitted to minimize use of cheaper crusher fines as fill.
|
|
 |
| Mortared patio flagstone is
set on a full 4” steel reinforced concrete slab. |
|
|
Beautiful stamped concrete patios are crafted
by the
finest concrete artisans and construction methods in the
Front Range. |

Edging you can live
with!
Cheap edging can be an unsightly
nightmare:
-
Thin steel edging set too high
-
Distracting, often rusty, ring around the
lawn area
-
Grass can spread into mulch areas due to
roots (rhizomes) growing under edging
-
Exposed edge can injure animals and bare
feet
Green Acres
keeps the lawn in its place!
Heavy,
14 gauge steel rolled-top edging driven to adequate depth
Soil
excavated back from edging
Grass
cannot travel to mulch area
No sharp
surfaces
We take the effort to
do it right!

Soil
Preparation
We use a rich, loamy “amended topsoil” consisting
of 70% topsoil and 30% BioComp® compost.
BioComp® utilizes a combination of several feedstocks,
including brewing products from Coor’s Brewery. And meets
EPA 40 CFR 503-13 requirements for unrestricted use and distribution.
This combination provides correct soil ph (acidity),
drainage and long term plant and lawn health.
Common “high-cow” mixtures will shrink with time,
leaving lawn edging too high and unsightly and also allowing grass
to invade planting beds.
We can provide field soil testing, or thorough laboratory testing
through the CSU extension services to determine special amendment
needs.
Mulch
Our redwood “gorilla hair” mulch has
proven to be the best choice for the Front Range climate and soils:
Stays put
– even in high winds
Maintains
appearance – does not fade as quickly as cheaper mulches
Best for
long term soil conditioning – provides better air circulation
and increases soil acidity as it gradually decomposes
Sod
We provide a special “4 seed” blend of Quantum Leap,
Award, Midnight and Limousine cultivars. These provide the optimal
combination of color, growth rate, and wearability for Front Range
residential use.

Horticulture
Our plant experts shop nurseries for the best
price and grade of plants, shrubs and trees. You are welcome
to accompany us to pick out your individual shrubs and trees.
We follow Colorado State University and Denver
Botanic Gardens recommendations -including planting trees above

…the not-so-little
extras!
We
mix 12”, 3”-6”, 4”-8” and 1.5”
stones to obtain an authentic stream bed look All
boulders are dug-in for both safety and appearance
Downspouts
are solidly connected to heavy PVC and drained beyond your hardscape
(but never into the neighbor’s yard!)
Following

manual”
