Dustin Barnes

Favorite way to enjoy my outdoor space: Designing, installing per design and maintaining. Sharing with my family and friends and of course long days of smoking the perfect cut of meat for dinner.

Favorite thing about the green industry: I would have to say the different realm of people, customers, co-workers and the way it affects our every day life because landscape brings such joy to the outdoor experience. Being outdoors is just the cherry on top.

Favorite Plant: A well maintained blue mist spirea also a nice mature honeylocust or aspen.

Hobbies: Going to the lake with the family, watching my kids learn and play sports, riding ATVs, hunting, caring for all our animals and home, grilling, cutting firewood and shooting trap.

Dustin grew up on a sod farm in eastern Colorado. As a young boy he was out helping with checking irrigation, mowing, stacking sod, fertilizing and controlling pests. Growing up he began mowing yards in the local small towns to earn money which turned into fertilizations, aerations and both fall/spring cleanups. Dustin also spent many years in the construction industry as far as pouring concrete, building houses and horse barns. He has worked for Timberline Landscaping for roughly 4 years in the recent past. Dustin looks forward to joining this team of professionals again to grow personally. He and his wife Amy share three beautiful daughters who are growing up way too fast.
