Landscaping in Black Forest
Black Forest is a largely rural, unincorporated area northeast of Colorado Springs with homes on wooded acreage in Ponderosa pine. The 2013 Black Forest Fire destroyed hundreds of homes, and defensible space, forest thinning and fire-resistant planting remain top concerns. Many homes rely on private wells and septic systems, so irrigation is often limited and new plantings should be located away from septic fields.
