Build This Fall. Enjoy Your Landscape From the Start Next Spring.

Your Yard Doesn’t Have to Wait for Spring

Think about the first warm days next year. Would you rather be
starting a landscape project—or stepping outside to enjoy the results?

Fall is an opportunity to move forward with the improvements you
have been considering: replacing a thirsty lawn, creating more
useful outdoor space, or bringing an unfinished backyard together.
Completing work ahead of the growing season means less of that
season spent waiting for construction.

At FRSR Landscape & Outdoor Living, we work year-round, adapting
our installation methods and scheduling to Colorado’s weather and
site conditions. Our goal is a well-built project you can enjoy
for years, with a clear plan for caring for it along the way.

Sprinklers Winterized? You Can Still Explore a Landscape Project.

A sprinkler shutdown does not automatically mean all landscape
work must stop. It means the installation and watering plan need
to fit the season. Patios, walkways, rock areas, and other features
have different requirements from living plants, and we review
each part of the project accordingly.

For planting, we consider plant type, soil conditions,
temperatures, water access, and the forecast. When planting is
appropriate, we prepare and install for those conditions and
explain the follow-up care. If conditions are unsuitable, we
adjust the work sequence or timing.

Winter Watering Is for Established Landscapes, Too

Winter care is not just a concern for a newly installed yard.
During prolonged dry periods, trees, shrubs, and perennials in
older landscapes can also need supplemental water. This is part
of caring for a Colorado landscape, regardless of when it was
installed.

• Check soil moisture and recent precipitation.
  Water according to need rather than automatically watering
  every plant on the same schedule.
• Choose suitable conditions.
  Water on days above 40°F when the ground is unfrozen and free
  of snow cover, allowing time for water to soak in before
  evening temperatures drop.
• Give new plants particular attention.
  Their smaller root systems need closer monitoring during
  establishment.
• Follow local rules.
  Use permitted watering methods. Denver Water currently allows
  trees, shrubs, and other plants to be watered with a hand-held
  hose with an automatic shutoff nozzle or low-volume irrigation
  such as drip.
• Protect your equipment afterward.
  Disconnect and drain hoses and protect outdoor water
  connections from freezing.

We will discuss how you can care for new plantings after
installation, including how watering can be handled with the
automatic irrigation system winterized.

Think Beyond One Part of the Yard

A ColoradoScape conversion can be part of a larger improvement.
Bring together the features that make your outdoor space useful
and enjoyable:

• 
  ColoradoScape and water-wise planting
  
  for seasonal interest and a reduced lawn footprint.
• 
  Stamped concrete patios and walkways
  
  for dining, gathering, and better access.
• 
  Artificial turf
  
  where a suitable non-living surface fits the design, use,
  and local requirements.
• Firepit gathering areas and landscape lighting to make the
  space welcoming into the evening.
• 
  Complete landscape construction
  
  to coordinate the work under one contractor.

Starting now can put you ahead of the spring planning cycle.
Patios and gathering areas can be in place for the return of
warmer weather, while new plants develop and fill in over the
growing seasons ahead.
