Services
Landscape Design
Our comprehensive landscape design service creates custom outdoor spaces tailored to Colorado's climate. We combine functional planning with aesthetic elements, addressing drainage, sun exposure, and property constraints. Our process includes site analysis, 2D master planning, and phased implementation options for projects starting at $20,000.
Xeriscaping
Specializing in drought-resistant landscaping, we create sustainable Colorado gardens using native plants and efficient irrigation. Our xeriscaping solutions reduce water usage while maintaining visual appeal through strategic plant selection and rock features that complement the Rocky Mountain environment.
Outdoor Lighting
We install low-voltage LED lighting systems that enhance safety and ambiance. Our designs highlight architectural features, illuminate pathways, and create evening focal points using energy-efficient fixtures from Kichler and Alliance brands with automated controls.
Water Features
From tranquil ponds to dramatic waterfalls, our custom water features integrate with natural terrain. We use durable materials and proper waterproofing techniques to create year-round visual interest while considering maintenance requirements in Colorado's climate.
Pathway Design
We design and build functional pathways using materials like stamped concrete, natural stone, and soil-cement. Our solutions address slope challenges with integrated steps and edging while complementing home architecture and landscape style.
