Our Story
Rooted in Colorado. Built by hand.
Ponderosa Landscapes is a Colorado Springs landscaping company owned and operated by Adam Burney. With over 45 years in the industry, every project is shaped by the kind of experience you can only earn job by job, stone by stone, season after season.
We built this business on a simple idea: treat every yard like it's our own. That means meticulous prep work, clean lines, honest communication, and materials that are chosen to last through Colorado's sun, snow, and wind — not just look good the day we leave.
From a terraced sandstone retaining wall in Black Forest to a flagstone fire-pit patio on the west side, we take pride in the details most people never see — the grading, the drainage, the crisp bed edges, the irrigation that just works. Beautiful results aren't an accident. They're the finish line of doing it right.

What We Do
A full-service landscape company for Colorado Springs.
Whether you're starting from scratch or improving what you already love, we handle design, installation, and maintenance under one roof. Every service below is performed by our own crew — no subcontracting your yard out to strangers.
Landscape Installation
From first dig to final rake, our crew installs with the detail you'd expect from a finish carpenter — clean edges, proper base prep, and tight craftsmanship.
Retaining Walls
Natural sandstone, block, and boulder walls built to hold their line for decades. Engineered drainage behind every course — not just a pretty face.
Patios & Walkways
Flagstone, paver, and stamped concrete patios set on a compacted base that won't heave or settle after the first freeze-thaw.
Flower Beds & Plantings
Layered beds of perennials, ornamental grasses, and shrubs chosen to thrive in Colorado Springs — then maintained so they actually fill in.
Lawn Mowing & Care
Weekly mowing, edging, trimming, and cleanup on a schedule you can count on. Sharp blades, healthy grass, crisp lines every visit.
Irrigation
New sprinkler and drip installs, zone tune-ups, repairs, blowouts, and smart controllers. Water where it belongs, nowhere it doesn't.
Xeriscape & Water-Wise
Drought-tolerant designs that still feel lush — native grasses, boulders, rock mulch, and resilient perennials built for our climate.

Full Landscape Renovations

Why Ponderosa
Forty-five years of doing the small things right.
There are a lot of landscapers in Colorado Springs. What sets us apart isn't a slogan — it's the way we show up, the way we prep, and the way we treat your yard when no one's watching.

Client Reviews
What our neighbors say.
Every project is a referral we're trying to earn. Here's what a few recent clients had to say after working with Adam and the Ponderosa crew.
Adam walked our yard with us, drew up a plan that actually matched our budget, and then his crew executed it exactly as promised. Three seasons later, everything still looks better than the day they left.
Kate & Mark D.
Briargate
We had three quotes for a retaining wall. Ponderosa was the most detailed, the most honest about drainage, and — somehow — the most reasonably priced. The wall is beautiful and solid as a rock.
Jennifer L.
Black Forest
They show up when they say they will, the yard looks sharp every single week, and they always leave it cleaner than they found it. Easiest service I've ever had to manage.

Old North End
Service Area
