Since 1994, 1st Green Colorado LLC has been a cornerstone of the regional landscaping industry, built on a foundation of quality workmanship and a safety-first approach. Originally founded as 1st Green Lawns by James and Janet Baker, the company’s legacy was entrusted to long-time team members Christopher Schroeder and Erick Sifuentes in 2017.
Having started their careers on the landscape crew in 1998 and 1999 respectively, Chris and Erick rose through the ranks to lead the organization, maintaining the same dedication to excellence that first defined the brand over three decades ago. This commitment to superior service has earned the company the title of Lafayette Landscaper of the Year every year since 2017.
Beyond local accolades, 1st Green Colorado is recognized as a leader in landscape design and artistry. The company is a two-time winner of the People’s Choice Award at the Denver Home and Garden Show (2025 and 2026) and has collaborated with the prestigious Denver Botanic Gardens. Their award-winning projects have been featured in premier publications, including 5280 Focal Point and Colorado Homes & Lifestyles.
