Cody quotes every job himself
In Salida, Integrity Exterior Services delivers landscaping services the same way every time: a professional designer draws the plan before a shovel hits the ground. You see what you're getting first.
That matters more here than most places. Salida gets under ten inches of precipitation a year and has zone 5b winters, so a local landscaper specifies drought-resistant planting, boulders, pavers and water features for that climate.
What does a landscaper do in Salida, CO?
A landscaper in Salida designs and installs outdoor spaces around a home or commercial property, including planting, rock and boulders, pavers and water features. Here, most of that work comes down to water and a short season: Colorado State University Extension's Chaffee County climate summary gives Salida around 109 frost-free days a year.
Landscaping work Integrity Exterior Services takes on
Landscape Design and Installation
Full design and installation for the whole property, for homes and commercial sites across Chaffee, Park and Lake Counties.
A professional designer draws the plan, you see it on paper, and Cody's crew builds what you approved, with design fees discussed up front and credited off your estimate if you build with Integrity Exterior Services.
Expect the deer to come up. Cody's honest answer to the most-asked landscaping question here: deer eat every plant; they just spit out most of them. The design plans for that.
Hardscape and Paver Installation
A paver patio or path laid without allowing for freeze and thaw can heave and crack.
Integrity Exterior Services lays hardscaping, paver patios, walkways and flagstone to the slope and drainage of a mountain property, with base prep specified so the surface holds through the winter.
Winter here is the test. Salida sits in hardiness zone 5b, where the coldest nights drop to between -10°F and -15°F, and a patio has to come through that every year.
Drought-Resistant Landscape Installation
Under ten inches of precipitation a year is a semi-arid number, and it changes what a yard here should look like.
Integrity Exterior Services designs drought-resistant planting that holds its color without an irrigation bill that stings, using plants suited to zone 5b. Reading about xeriscaping? It's the same idea, and it doesn't have to mean losing the lawn.
Salida has restricted outdoor watering during past droughts, so a lower-water yard is worth planning for whatever this summer brings.
Boulder and Landscape Rock Placement
Setting a large boulder takes the right equipment, not just a strong back.
Integrity Exterior Services places boulders and landscape rock to turn bare ground and awkward slopes into something that reads as designed. Done right, it looks like it was always there.
Near the house, rock works twice as hard. Chaffee County's wildfire plan says the first five feet around a home should have no plants and non-flammable ground cover, such as landscape gravel, which makes rock work part of defensible space.
Water Feature Installation
A water feature works best when it's part of the original plan.
Integrity Exterior Services designs ponds and water features as part of the full landscape from the start, so they sit naturally in the yard and stay easy to maintain, whether it's a small feature beside a patio or something larger.
In a place this dry, with freezing nights that can run into late May, the design also has to plan how the feature is kept topped up and how it handles a hard freeze.
