AG Landscaping installs sod, trees, and plants in Colorado Springs, including larger-specimen trees when the project calls for it, so a new yard doesn’t spend a decade looking sparse while smaller trees catch up. Getting the timing and species right matters just as much as the size, given how narrow our growing window actually is.

What’s Included

Sod installation gives you an established lawn without the weeks of waiting that seeding requires. Tree installation includes sizing recommendations based on your yard’s scale and how quickly you want mature coverage. Shrub and flower bed design rounds out the planting plan, selected to match your yard’s sun exposure and water plan.

Planting for Colorado’s Growing Season

Colorado Springs sits in USDA hardiness zone 5b to 6a, with a growing season that typically runs from mid-May to late September, close to 139 frost-free days. Tree and plant selection needs to account for that window and for the sun intensity that comes with 6,035 feet of elevation, not just general cold hardiness. Sod in particular establishes best when it goes in during that window rather than fighting a late spring frost or an early fall freeze.

Why Choose AG Landscaping

What Customers Say

“When we had some trouble with drainage due to sod establishment watering, Rafael was out the next morning and re-did the 50′ section causing the problem… Our shrubs and trees are thriving with the drip system they installed. The grass has grown several inches in the past 2.5 weeks, and is smooth and gorgeous.” — Tina Thomas, Google review
