Refreshing and Reimagining Highlands Ranch Yards

Highlands Ranch has been growing since 1981, and you can see it in the yards. Northridge streets have mature trees, overgrown shrubs, and original sprinkler systems that have seen better days, while homes in Southridge and BackCountry sit higher on the hills with newer landscapes and big mountain views. Nearly every exterior project goes through the Highlands Ranch Community Association’s architectural review, and Highlands Ranch Water sets its own rules and programs for irrigation and lawn replacement. Huckleberry Hardscapes plans concrete, hardscaping, planting, xeriscaping, and irrigation projects with all of that in view, so your upgrade gets approved, fits the neighborhood, and uses water wisely.

Highlands Ranch Project FAQs

Quick answers to what Highlands Ranch homeowners ask us before starting a project.
Do I need HRCA approval before starting a landscape project?
In most cases, yes. The Highlands Ranch Community Association reviews changes like new patios, walls, fences, and major landscape updates through its architectural review process. We prepare the drawings and material details the committee typically asks for, and we wait for approval before we break ground.
Highlands Ranch Water offers a turf replacement rebate for converting thirsty lawn into a water efficient landscape. You’ll typically need HRCA approval, an approved application, and a site inspection by the district before any work starts, and funding is limited each year. We design to the program’s rules, but check current availability with Highlands Ranch Water first.
It depends on what’s under the surface. Plenty of older Highlands Ranch yards have good bones, like healthy trees and a solid layout, hiding behind overgrown shrubs and worn out sprinklers. We’ll help you decide what to keep, what to replace, and how to phase the work if you’d rather not do it all at once.
Often, yes. We can swap in higher efficiency nozzles, fix leaks and broken lines, rezone areas that get too much or too little water, and convert shrub beds to drip. If the main lines are failing, we’ll tell you when replacement makes more sense than patching.
We do. Beyond the four main villages, we work in BackCountry, Highwoods, Falcon Hills, and the Mansion area, where lots are larger and designs tend to be more custom. Those neighborhoods may have their own guidelines on top of HRCA’s, and we plan for both.
Many Highlands Ranch homeowners go with a mix of native grasses like blue grama or buffalo grass, flowering perennials, a few shrubs for structure, and rock or mulch in between. That mix looks good year round, uses far less water, and keeps a neighborhood feel instead of a bare rock look.
Yes. Lots along greenbelts and near the Backcountry Wilderness Area deal with deer browsing, wind, and wildfire concerns. We use deer resistant plants, keep a rock or low planting buffer near the house, and design edges and fencing that fit your community’s guidelines.

Let's Plan Your Highlands Ranch Upgrade

From a worn out patio to a full lawn conversion, we’ll help you design it, get it approved, and build something that fits your home and your water use.
