Design Philosophy

Eco-Friendly Principles

We specialize in plants, not hardscape. While many firms focus on installing broad expanses of paved surfaces, practicing “plant-driven design” instead means that we maximize the living parts of your landscape.

Right for Local Climate

Choosing the right plants for the right place is central to succeeding in the difficult environment of Colorado. This also requires getting to know the soil, rainfall/irrigation and wildlife challenges faced by each site.

Support for Wildlife

Getting those right, together with good plant choices, will yield a sustainable landscape that can live in harmony with our local wildlife, use water, budget, and time resources wisely, and provide critical habitat for birds and insects.

Qualified & knowledgable

Our employees are properly hired, trained, insured and valued for their amazing knowledge and skills.

Following up and Maintaining

Following up on projects with maintenance allows us to learn generally as designers which plants go beyond mere survival to actually thrive.

Beyond that general knowledge, we tweak each design over time as we learn the peculiarities of your yard. In short, every project is a custom design, not the same palette of 5 plants repeated at every project.
