Grounds is the division a tenant sees every single day and the one that quietly decides how long your pavement and your foundations last. We maintain the landscape, run the irrigation, and fix the water before it becomes somebody else's repair bill.
Most grounds contracts cover mowing and mulch. The items that actually protect the asset are irrigation efficiency, drainage, and tree health, and those are the ones that get skipped because nobody complains about them until something else breaks.
Mowing, edging, bed care, pruning, litter, and seasonal cleanups on a set rotation. Predictable visits on a known day, so the property looks the same on the fifteenth as it does on the first.
New plantings, bed renovation, and conversions to lower water designs that hold up in a Front Range summer. Along the Front Range, the plant list matters more than the design, and the wrong list is a recurring replacement cost forever.
A real turf program on a schedule rather than reactive spraying when a tenant complains. Aeration and overseed in the right window is most of what separates a lot that looks maintained from one that looks tired.
Zone repair, head replacement, controller programming, backflow scheduling, and blowout before the first hard freeze. An irrigation audit is one of the few items on a commercial property that reliably pays for itself on the water bill.
Where water goes when it leaves your roof and your landscape. Regrading, swales, inlet repair, and subsurface drains. This is the item that quietly destroys asphalt, undermines walkways, and sends water toward foundations.
Structural pruning, clearance over drive lanes and walkways, hazard assessment, removals, and storm response. Mature trees are the highest value item in your landscape and the only one you cannot replace on a budget cycle.
Grounds problems announce themselves quietly. These are the ones worth acting on before they turn into a different division's invoice.
Either a broken line or a drainage failure. Both get worse, and one of them is metering onto your water bill every day.
Runoff tracking across asphalt is the leading cause of premature lot failure in Denver. Fix the water first or repave the same section twice.
Irrigation waste rarely looks like anything from the surface. An audit finds it in an afternoon and usually pays for itself inside a season.
Clearance over drive aisles, walkways, and signage. It is a maintenance item until a truck or a storm makes it something else.
Usually a plant list that was never suited to the exposure. Renovating once beats replacing the same plants every year.
A missed winterization is the most expensive routine item on a Colorado property, and it always shows up in April.
Maintenance is a schedule, not a series of visits. The value is in knowing when the crew comes, what happens in each seasonal window, and what is being watched between visits.
Zone by zone review of turf, beds, trees, irrigation, and where the water actually goes during a storm.
A written rotation with visit frequency, seasonal windows, and what is included versus what is billed separately. No surprises in July.
Same crew, same day, on a known route. Irrigation checks built into the rotation instead of waiting for something to fail visibly.
What was done, what changed, and what is developing. Photographed and filed, so the property record does not live in somebody's memory.

We will walk the property, check where the water goes, and tell you what needs a program and what needs a repair. Same day response on any request.
