Take a look outside and see how you can create a living investment.
If you spend 5 percent of the value of your home on landscaping, and do it wisely, you might get 150 percent or more of your money back. And sometimes that number can go even higher. If your home’s landscaping is on the low-end for the area and you’re putting it on par with your neighbors, you could be looking at around a 15 percent rise in value. This is big money that can add to your equity. This is a very easy and often over-looked investment.
This is a group of our favorite questions to answer. First and foremost, we love, just love, large trees. We like selling trees to our customers that give them “instant gratification.” We like seeing the birds making nests in our trees because they feel as if they’ve been there for years. We just like the feeling we get after we’ve planted one in someone’s yard and literally transformed it. Yet, another reason we specialize in large trees is because that’s our niche. It’s our way of competing with other nurseries and it seems to be something high in demand.
As far as survival rates for larger trees—yes, your tree has just as good of chance, if not a better one
At this time, we do not carry seedlings. Why? Time is a direct factor to profit and cost in this business and with Colorado's climate there are not many ways to profit from seedling sales. Most of the trees grown in Colorado specifically for retail and wholesale markets are grown from whips or "seedlings" brought from facilities that specialize in growing that type of plant material. While trees can start from a single seed, and can grow that way in Colorado, there are ways to make a product better and save time and money in the process by using saplings or grafting instead. Many of these processes require specialized growing environments. This is primarily why we do not sell seedlings as a normally stocked product.
With that said, we can special order most any plant in a small "seedling" size. However, timing is important and larger quantities tend to make it more feasible.

We can supply plants just like you see in the photo below.
A: J’s & Grant’s Plants was chosen by Jason’s mother as the name for Jason’s nursery back in 1995—given that it incorporated the names of he and his siblings. The thought was that since Jason was young, his two other siblings might, one day, want to participate in the business too. Thus, this name combined, Jason, Jessica, and Grant’s name. It was changed to CreekSide Tree Nursery in 2004 because the majority of the stock was trees, not plants and CreekSide was significantly easier to say and spell. It was chosen because CreekSide runs parallel to Boulder Creek.
Planting trees this time of year is still perfectly fine.
We are selling and planting trees everyday and it's entirely okay! When someone tells you this is a bad time to plant trees, typically they do not understand the difference between transplanting and replanting
Please review your watering schedule in these times of extreme weather.
Click Here for the Watering Guide. It is very hard to over water your tree during these heat waves...possible, but very hard. If you miss a watering, your tree will show you: droopy or yellow leaves means it needs more water! If you miss a few watering sessions, it can cause trouble. With proper watering, your trees/shrubs will be just fine and continue to thrive in the heat.

The work of a Horticulturists involves fruits, berries, nuts, vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and turf.

Arborists, or tree surgeons are professionals in the practice of arboriculture, which is the management an maintenance of ornamental or shade trees. Work can include tree surgery and also care of shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants. An arborist is distinct from a forester, or from a logger. Those professions may have much in common, but the scope of work is different. Arborists frequently focus on health and safety of individual trees, or wooded landscapes, rather than managing forests or harvesting wood.
A Horticulturist may also have experience as an arborist and can address tree issues in your landscape, just as an arborist may have additional horticultural and landscaping knowledge. If you hire any professional to assist you in your landscape, you should always ask for credentials to determine the individual's background, regardless of the title they may be using.
Master Gardener - Master Gardener Programs are volunteer programs affiliated with a Cooperative extension service office and a land-grant university that educates the public on gardening and horticultural issues. Typically Master Gardeners answer questions via phone, speak at public events and participate in community gardening displays. Individuals that pursue Master Gardener training are generally amateur gardeners with an interest in community outreach and supporting the professional community. Master Gardener is not a professional certification and should not confused with professional degrees or certifications.

After approximately two summers of hard work, Jason decided to get his business license in selling nursery stock. He had been fairly successful selling perennials during the prior summers and wanted to pursue nursery work even further by trying to make it a permanent job. The year was 1995 and Jason was only 13 years old. This is the foundation of J’s & Grant’s Plants: A hardworking, self-propelled, young boy who found that his summer job was just as fun as the times he spent skateboarding.
