Commercial Landscape Experts for Colorado's Largest CDP
Highlands Ranch is a census-designated place (CDP) in Douglas County with over 100,000 residents, making it one of the largest CDPs in the United States. Originally developed by Shea Homes as a master-planned community in the 1980s, Highlands Ranch has matured into a major commercial and residential hub anchored by the Lincoln Avenue corridor and the C-470/I-25 interchange.
For commercial property managers in Highlands Ranch, the landscape equation is straightforward: high visibility, high traffic, and high expectations. The business parks along Lincoln Avenue between University Boulevard and Broadway see thousands of commuters daily. Retail plazas, medical offices, and corporate campuses throughout the community demand professional-grade landscape maintenance that projects a polished, well-managed image year-round.
JLS specializes in the commercial landscape demands that define Highlands Ranch. We maintain office parks, retail center frontage, parking lot islands, and common area landscaping for property management companies that need reliability, consistency, and compliance with HOA and municipal standards. Our snow and ice management program covers the entire community with 24/7 winter response for zero-tolerance commercial sites.

The HRCA Factor and Commercial Landscape Demand
One important distinction in Highlands Ranch: the Highlands Ranch Community Association (HRCA) maintains an extensive network of parks, trails, open spaces, and common areas through its own landscape operations. This means JLS does not compete with homeowner-facing HOA maintenance inside the HRCA system. Instead, our focus in Highlands Ranch is squarely on commercial properties — office parks, retail centers, medical facilities, and multi-family complexes — as well as non-HRCA residential properties that fall outside the community association's scope.
The commercial landscape market in Highlands Ranch is substantial. The Lincoln Avenue corridor stretches over four miles from University Boulevard to Santa Fe Drive, lined with retail plazas, restaurants, office buildings, and the Highlands Ranch Town Center. The Lucent Boulevard business district near C-470 houses corporate offices for companies like CH2M Hill (now Jacobs), TransAm Trucking, and multiple tech firms — all requiring year-round landscape maintenance and winter storm management.
Property managers in Highlands Ranch also contend with Centennial Water and Sanitation District irrigation regulations. JLS designs and maintains irrigation systems that comply with district watering schedules while delivering the visual results these high-profile properties demand.

Highlands Ranch Landscaping FAQ
HRCA (Highlands Ranch Community Association) manages its own parks, trails, and common area landscapes through internal operations. JLS focuses on commercial properties, multi-family complexes, and non-HRCA residential properties in Highlands Ranch. If you are a commercial property manager, retail center owner, or multi-family developer, we are the right fit.
We offer seasonal snow contracts with 24/7 response, per-push pricing for smaller commercial lots, and pre-treatment programs using liquid and granular de-icing agents. For medical facilities and high-traffic retail sites, we provide zero-tolerance service where plowing and de-icing begin at the first measurable accumulation. Our snow management fleet includes wheel loaders, plow trucks, and dedicated sidewalk crews.
Centennial Water and Sanitation District enforces seasonal watering restrictions with designated irrigation days. We program all commercial irrigation systems to comply with district schedules, install flow sensors to detect leaks before they become violations, and use smart controllers with weather-based adjustments to eliminate overwatering. Our LEED AP-certified staff designs systems for maximum efficiency.
For contracted commercial accounts, we respond to landscape emergencies (irrigation main breaks, storm damage, fallen trees) within 2 to 4 hours during business hours. Snow emergencies are addressed immediately per the terms of the snow contract. Our Sedalia office is 20 minutes from most Highlands Ranch properties, which allows faster response than Denver-based competitors traveling south on congested I-25.
