Scope of Work
JS Enterprises Custom Landscaping brought a large-scale transformation to this Castle Rock property on Topside Drive, turning a sloped front yard and expansive backyard into a cohesive, Colorado-ready landscape. The project focused on accessibility, functionality, and natural integration with the surrounding terrain.
To navigate the steep front yard, the team installed granite boulder retaining walls paired with Siloam slab steps, creating a structured and visually striking pathway to the lower portion of the property. In the backyard, fresh sod and a full sprinkler system were installed to establish a lush, low-maintenance lawn.
A 4′ split rail cedar fence was built to enclose a spacious dog run, offering both containment and aesthetic appeal. To blend the property with its natural surroundings, a mix of Spruce and Ponderosa pine trees were planted, enhancing privacy and year-round greenery.
