Happy National Dog Day

Happy National Dog Day from Boulder Landscape! 
Dogs play such an important role in people's lives. They are always incredibly happy to see us, faithfully never seem to let us down, and appreciate any attention that we give them. Lily, our golden retriever, greets our staff every morning with a warm welcome of her signature "happy bark" before sending us off to start our day. She is often found hanging out in our office waiting to be petted, jumping in any one of our Boulder trucks in hopes of being taken for a ride, or soaking up the sun on one of the beautiful patios that we created. 


There are currently 360 different types of dog breeds in the world. In the year 2015, the number 1 dog breed in America was the Labrador Retriever, followed by the German Shepard and then the Golden Retriever. If you're like us, we do everything and anything to keep our dog safe, happy, and healthy! We strongly monitor what Lily eats and have done our research of what is good for her and what is not, even when it comes to plants. There are many plants that are toxic for our furry friends. Here are just a few common plants that are toxic, according to the ASPCA:

Holly
Crabapple
Azalaea
Boxwoods
Mums
Yew
Rhodendron
Hosta

If your dog enjoys your landscape that we have created, please send us some pictures! We would love to see that our hard work, creativity, and passion can not only be admired and appreciated by our clients, but their dogs as well. Also, when finished reading this, make sure to give your a dog a treat (or two) on us...they deserve it!
