Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I don't have the time to do a 1 acre lot on my own and not to mention I don't have a damn clue when it comes to landscape design. I definitely don't want to chase down twenty different people and the project to span 6+ mos to get my yard situated. I just need bare basics to have it done and HOA off my back. Just seeing if anyone here is in the profession.

1 acre lot...ouch. That won't be cheap.
Yeah... not looking forward to it.Originally Posted by Dave_L
That's gonna hurt... Sorry the HOA is riding you.
My parents got a quote to have the backyard done at their house, and it came back at like $65K. They have a large backyard, but the prices that landscapers are charging is asinine.
What exactly are looking to have done? Sod and a few trees or a full blown garden of Versailles? You might be able to take the measurements and a few pictures to your local garden center to see if they can whip up a rough plan. Especially if you order the materials through them. Then it's just a matter of getting some cheap help from friends to plant and lay sod.
There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
My landscape project just got started. He is 3 weeks early starting it. When talking to him this morning, he said he is booked out till October. If anyone is interested in having him giving you a bid, pm me. Just realize your project won't get started till October or November. Or spring of next year.
Pretty basic stuff. HOA is requiring a certain amount of grass, some trees, and the rest will be rock. I'm thinking of have just having the front yard done for now. There are few things I want to done with the backyard, but that can be left for another day. I've been talking to a couple landscapers but man, who knew this stuff is in this much demand, communications has been minimal at best. it's so odd.
Reach out to Rick Parsons - Rocky Mountain Rain. He's pretty good at getting you draft drawings for your HOA. He built a nice patio for me as well as some sod/sprinkler, rock, and path/breeze work. Tell him I sent you.
He will also bring a portfolio of past projects for you to review.

I feel your pain, I've found that hunting around on YouTube has helped quite a bit with learning about landscaping. It's a good way to get into shape, especially if you have 1 acre lot. My first recommendation would be to get a good lawn mower and weed eater/trimmer, that should help start getting the HOA off your ass.
