Grow with Harvester: What “Best of Mile High” Means to Us

We’re proud to share that Harvester Landscapes was awarded Bronze in the Best of Mile High awards.

Recognition like this means a lot—but not for the reasons you might expect. For us, it’s not just about the award. It’s about what it represents.

A Reflection of the Work Being Done Every Day

Harvester wasn’t built overnight. It’s been shaped project by project, yard by yard, conversation by conversation. From design/build work to long-term maintenance, the goal has always been the same:

Do the work the right way.

In a space like landscaping—especially in Colorado—that means thinking beyond the immediate result. It means building landscapes that:

• Actually perform in our climate

• Use water more responsibly

• Hold up over time

• Make sense for how people live

This recognition reflects that approach more than anything else.

Local Matters—Especially Here

Denver and the Front Range aren’t easy environments to design for. Clay-heavy soils, intense sun, rapid weather shifts—these aren’t small details. They directly impact whether a landscape succeeds or fails. Being a local company means we don’t just understand those conditions—we design around them.

It also means we’re not building in a vacuum. We’re part of the same communities we work in. The neighborhoods, the clients, the projects—they’re all connected. That responsibility shows up in how we approach every job.

Sustainability Isn’t a Trend for Us

There’s a lot of conversation around sustainable landscaping right now. And while it’s easy to label something as “sustainable,” the reality is more nuanced.

For us, sustainability means:

• Choosing plants that actually thrive here

• Designing with water use in mind from the start

• Building landscapes that don’t need constant replacement

• Creating systems that improve over time—not degrade

It’s not about doing less—it’s about doing things more intentionally.

Growth, Without Losing the Standard

As Harvester continues to grow, the focus doesn’t change. If anything, it becomes more important. Growth can easily come at the expense of quality—but that’s not the direction we’re interested in. The goal is to expand while maintaining the same level of care, planning, and execution that got us here.

That applies to:

• The projects we take on

• The way we communicate with clients

• The standards we hold internally

The award is a milestone—but it’s not the end goal.

What This Means Moving Forward

Recognition like this reinforces something we already believe: There’s a real demand for landscaping that is thoughtful, functional, and built for Colorado—not just designed to look good for a season. That’s where we’ll continue to focus. More intentional design. Better long-term performance. And a continued commitment to the communities we work in to become the best landscaping company in Denver!

Thank You to Our Clients and Community

This recognition wouldn’t exist without the people who trust us with their spaces.

Every project is a collaboration. Every finished space reflects that trust. We don’t take that lightly.

We’re Just Getting Started

Winning Bronze in Best of Mile High is something we’re proud of.

But more importantly—it’s something we’re building on.
