Highlands Landscaping & Fencing - Denver

"We are so glad that we found Highlands Landscaping on YELP. From the initial walkthrough all the way to the completion of the project, HL was nothing short of completely professional and friendly.We had a very unusual layout with our yard where the entire side of the house was not only overgrown and unusable, but it wasn't even accessible from the backyard. This unusable space was one of the main inspirations for the renovation. HL was able to knock out the old chainlink fence and expand the backyard onto the side of the house, they cleared out all of the overgrown brush and even removed a small tree. We feel like our yard grew by a huge percentage and we look forward to doing more with that space (and with HL) in the future!Another odd thing was the flippers who sold us our house planted grass all in the backyard, but with no sprinkler system or hose hookup, that grass all died. HL replaced the dead grass and dirt with gorilla hair cedar mulch, lovely red flag stone steppers, and built a paver patio for our hangout space.The fire pit was also a big problem area, the sectioned off area was falling apart and wasn't holding its shape. HL completely rebuild the area by reusing as many of the large rocks as possible, and supplementing with their own where needed. They laid down a weed barrier and then filled the new pit with gorgeous river rock.HL had provided us with a quote to do all sorts of plantings with irrigation, but we wanted to keep some of the fun stuff for ourselves, so we opted out. We will however, have HL back later in the spring to do a small amount of plantings for us because we loved their suggestion of planting karl foerster grass alongside the garage wall and felt it fair to allow them to do that work for us!The landscaping work is exactly what we wanted, we are going to be building upon what they did here with a xeriscape, drought tolerant desert vibe.The fence work is in my opinion, the highlight of the project. The smell of the fresh red cedar permeates the air, and the build quality of the fence and the gates is just flawless! We have a curved foundational wall in the front of the house along our driveway, and initially I was concerned about how this would play with the fence. What I thought was going to be a compromise turned out to be a feature! The way the wall and the fence join together, and the way they curved the wood alongside it is my favorite part of the whole fence. I had so much anxiety about how this area was going to look and it became my favorite element.The gates are STURDY!! I love walking through them and will use any opportunity I have to do so! The walk to the garbage can is closer from my backyard, but you'll often find me walking my trash out through the front just so I can take another look at the project and feel the heft of that front gate.Highlands Landscaping did as PRAISEWORTHY job, and at what I felt was a reasonable price. We had a lot of weather delays that was no fault of the company, but I would say that when they were able to work, they worked quickly and efficiently. The speed at which the fence went up absolutely blew my mind.I look forward to working with HL again in the future. Thank you team!"

"Marko and crew completed our entire yard in Uptown Denver. When they started it was literally dirt. Well, to be accurate, it was dirt and weeds. They created all our beds for plants and raised planter bed for vegetable garden, then landscaped with trees, bushes and perennials. The entire in-ground sprinkler system for the entire yard was installed by Highlands Landscapin. Beyond plantings, they hardscaped a front retaining wall, built a metal fence in front yard and a wood fence in the back yard and installed low voltage lighting. Also, they built patio from pavers for our back yard.While it was a big project for us, Marko and crew were efficient, thorough and always kept us in the loop with timely communication. The final product was outstanding. We have asked them to come back over the last few years to update some things and have always been completely satisfied with the work.We would strongly recommend Marko and crew for any project, large or small!"

"We hired Highlands landscaping to completely redo the landscaping in our large backyard. When we bought the house, it had been neglected for years and was extremely overgrown and out of control. We first met with a design specialist, Erica, and she was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and professional. She worked with us to keep costs down while still meeting all of our goals. The team that did the work was amazing! They were punctual, professional, and friendly. They communicated with us daily to update us on the status of the job, and came to us frequently as new issues came up during the work.The best part was in the spring. We noticed a significant amount of grass and weeds coming up through the new mulch. They were as surprised and upset as we were, and worked with us to fix the problem. Overall, they consistently demonstrated that their primary goal is customer satisfaction and I would happily recommend them to anyone."
