OUR SERVICES 
We would like to limit our work to the growing and delivering 
of good nursery stock, but that does not seem possible or practical. 
Our customers prefer a complete landscape service from plan to 
finished planting. Also, nursery work is so seasonable that other 
work must be arranged so that is is possible to keep good trained 
men over the greater part of the year. Therefore, in the past a 
large proportion of our work has been making plans, planting, 
construction and maintenance; and we expect that it will continue 
to be so. 
PLANS 
If you require plans of any extent it will pay you to employ 
a competent landscape architect. He can suggest possibilities for 
desirable features which you would never think of, and can usually 
suggest economies to more than offset the fee he charges. This 
is the best arrangement, as you are sure to pay this cost one way 
or another, and may not get the competent advice otherwise. 
For smaller improvements we can help you plan and absorb 
this in the cost of materials. Where it is desirable to draw up 
detailed plans we will make a charge of 10% to 20% of the cost of 
the Improvements. Drawing a plan “free” just on the chance of 
getting a job, is expensive; and you know that some one has to 
pay for it sooner or later. We do not claim to be Landscape 
Architects, but probably are much better qualified by experience 
and instinct than many who claim that title. 
REMODELLING 
We do many jobs of remodelling old gardens where little new 
material is involved. Many times a little rearranging of the ex¬ 
isting material, with the removal of some overgrown or unsuitable 
specimens, and addition of a few new and better plants, will 
make a great improvement; and at small cost. 
FLAGSTONE 
There is hardly a new home being built today without flag¬ 
stone being used somewhere in or about it. This is good, as it is 
a native material adaptable to a great variety of uses. A flagstone 
platform, pool, walk or set of steps will add character to a 
yard. Many horrible concoctions have been thrown together in the 
past and called rock gardens, but a really well executed naturalistic 
rock garden is still a thing of beauty and the source of much 
garden enjoyment. We have built some that we are rather proud 
of. The illustrations on the opposite page show some of our work. 
TRIMMING 
We still find time to do a limited amount of trimming and 
tree surgery. We enjoy this work and solicit the opportunity of 
taking care of your trees and shrubs at any time except during 
the spring planting rush. There is a great difference between doing 
those things for your trees which help them to become healthy, 
hardy and beautiful, and simply cutting some limbs from them. 
It pays to plant healthy long-lived trees and then take care of 
them. As a general rule trimming on shrubs is best done right 
after they are through blooming. 
SPRAYING 
We are able to take care of the spraying and dusting needs 
of your shrubs and small plants. We will be glad to recommend 
reliable concerns who have the suitable power equipment to spray 
large trees. Most of the American elm trees in Denver should be 
sprayed every two or three years at least. 
INSPECTIONS 
Many home owners ask us to make periodic inspections of their 
grounds. The average lawn man and gardener will not see many 
things about your garden which need to be done to maintain its 
health and beauty. The cost is small and many difficulties can 
be detected before they become serious.
