Scope of Work
JS Enterprises Custom Landscaping began by stripping out the old irrigation system and tired turf, clearing the way for a fresh landscape canvas on this Castle Pines Landscaping project. We poured a straight concrete walkway linking the side entrance to the backyard, creating a low-maintenance access route. Adjacent to the existing porch, we installed a basic concrete patio with a step down, expanding the outdoor living footprint without overcomplicating the design. To support the homeowner’s passion for golf despite a packed weekly schedule, we engineered a compact synthetic putting green for convenient short-game practice at home. Recognizing the family’s dogs needed a durable play surface, we laid down a synthetic lawn area that stays green and usable all year long. Finally, new trees and shrubs were planted in both the front and back yards to introduce seasonal color, privacy, and natural structure, completing a well-rounded transformation.

Challenges and Solutions
One key challenge was an outdated irrigation system paired with worn-out sod that required replacement. We removed both to reset the landscape foundation. The homeowner’s busy schedule meant they needed low-maintenance solutions; synthetic turf was the answer for both the putting green and dog area, delivering green surfaces year-round without watering or mowing. Ensuring durable pathways and terraces in Colorado’s freeze-thaw environment drove the choice of simple, robust concrete. Finally, selecting trees and shrubs suited to local conditions, those that are drought-tolerant and hardy against elevation-driven climate swings, ensured the new plantings would thrive with minimal upkeep. The result is a cohesive, easy-care outdoor retreat built around recreation, practicality, and pet-friendly use.
