CN Landscaping team completing a landscape project in Colorado Springs

Landscape Contractor in Colorado Springs

Full-service landscape contracting — design, hardscape, softscape, irrigation, and lighting. One company managing your entire project from first consultation through final walkthrough. Insured and experienced at altitude.

One Contractor. Every Landscape Service. Done Right.

Hiring a landscape contractor instead of piecing together separate companies for design, hardscape, planting, and irrigation saves time, money, and headaches. When one company handles the entire project, every element is designed to work together — the patio grade matches the drainage plan, the retaining wall placement accounts for future plantings, and the irrigation zones align with the actual water needs of each garden bed. Coordination problems between separate contractors are the number one cause of landscape project delays and cost overruns.

CN Landscaping LLC is a full-service landscape contractor serving Colorado Springs, Monument, Fountain, Falcon, Black Forest, Larkspur, and Perry Park. We handle everything from initial landscape design through construction, planting, and final detail work. Our team builds patios, retaining walls, xeriscape gardens, irrigation systems, outdoor lighting, and sod lawns — all with one point of contact, one schedule, and one company accountable for the result.

We are insured, experienced with Colorado Springs' specific challenges — the alkaline clay soil, the 200+ annual freeze-thaw cycles, the intense UV at 6,000 feet, and the 16 inches of annual rainfall — and we stand behind our work. Every project comes with a clear written scope, detailed pricing, and a defined timeline.

What CN Landscaping Builds

As a full-service landscape contractor, we handle every aspect of residential and commercial landscape construction across the Colorado Springs metro area.

Hardscape Construction

Paver patios, retaining walls, walkways, driveways, steps, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and seating walls. Every hardscape element is built on engineered base systems designed for Colorado Springs' freeze-thaw conditions. We use materials rated for our altitude and UV intensity — not products designed for warmer, lower-elevation markets that fail within a few winters here.

Softscape and Planting

Xeriscape design, sod installation, tree and shrub planting, perennial beds, ornamental grasses, and decorative rock. We select plants proven for USDA Zone 5b and our alkaline clay soil — species that actually thrive at elevation rather than generic nursery stock that struggles through the first winter.

Systems and Infrastructure

Irrigation systems with smart controllers and drip zones, low-voltage LED landscape lighting, drainage solutions including French drains and dry creek beds, grading and soil amendment for Colorado's clay, and artificial turf installations. These infrastructure elements make the visible landscape work properly and reduce long-term maintenance.

What Sets Our Team Apart

Colorado Springs has hundreds of landscapers. Here is what separates a professional landscape contractor from the rest of the field.

  • Insured and accountable — General liability and workers' compensation coverage protect you and your property. We provide proof of insurance with every contract and stand behind our work
  • Altitude-specific expertise — We build for 6,000 feet, not sea level. Our base systems, material specifications, and plant selections are engineered for Colorado Springs' 200+ freeze-thaw cycles, alkaline clay, intense UV, and limited rainfall
  • Single point of accountability — One company, one project manager, one schedule. You are never left coordinating between a patio contractor, a plumber for irrigation, an electrician for lighting, and a planting crew who all blame each other when something goes wrong
  • Transparent pricing — Detailed written estimates with line-item pricing for every component. No hidden fees, no surprise upcharges, and no vague "allowances" that balloon after you have signed
  • Local reputation — We live and work in Colorado Springs. Our clients are our neighbors, and our work is visible throughout the community. See our reviews from homeowners across the metro area

How a Project Works With CN Landscaping

From first phone call to final walkthrough, here is exactly what to expect when you hire CN Landscaping as your landscape contractor.

Step 1: Free consultation. We visit your property, discuss your vision and budget, assess site conditions, and answer your questions. There is no sales pressure and no obligation.

Step 2: Design and estimate. We prepare a detailed project plan with material specifications, a scaled layout, and line-item pricing. You review, ask questions, and request changes until you are completely satisfied with the plan and the price.

Step 3: Contract and scheduling. A clear written contract outlines scope, timeline, payment schedule, and warranty. We schedule your project and communicate the start date, expected duration, and any preparation you need to do (clearing personal items, arranging pet care during construction, etc.).

Step 4: Construction. Our crew arrives on the scheduled date with all materials and equipment. We work efficiently, keep the site organized, and communicate daily progress. Most residential projects complete within 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope.

Step 5: Final walkthrough. We walk the completed project with you, address any items, provide care instructions for all planted materials, and ensure you are completely satisfied before closing out.

Landscape Contractor FAQ

Choose a landscape contractor in Colorado Springs based on five factors: proper insurance (general liability and workers' compensation), experience with Colorado's clay soil and freeze-thaw conditions, a portfolio of completed local projects, clear written estimates with detailed scope of work, and verifiable reviews from Colorado Springs customers. Ask specifically about their base preparation methods for hardscape — this is where most contractors in our market cut corners, and it determines whether your investment lasts 5 years or 25 years.
