Custom Landscaping

Landscaping

Landscaping is all about combining colors, features, textures, lighting, and even small structures to optimize your property and make it ideally suited for your purposes – recreation, solitude, entertainment, or any other use.

Like many of our customers, you may want to landscape your property from scratch, what we in the landscape business refer to as a “full scrape.” This gives you the opportunity to optimize and integrate all the landscaping details, large and small, across your property.

But whether your project is a full scrape or something less, we’ll create your ideal space.

Xeriscaping – Pros and Cons

Creative use of rock, mulch, and plants in lieu of grass lawns is an increasingly popular option for Colorado property owners. We’d be pleased to design and install a personalized xeriscape landscape for you, but it’s important that you’re aware of a few things about this approach.

First, a xeriscape landscape often doesn’t prove to be as low maintenance as a homeowner expects. The plants utilized tend to be larger and require more frequent trimming and shaping. Debris tends to collect quickly within xeriscape areas and weed control can be more time-consuming.

Second, in nearly all cases, plants are still important in a xeriscape design and so watering is still required. Especially in the first year or two, a plant in any environment requires relatively heavy and consistent watering until it’s established. Ongoing maintenance watering, even at lower levels, is still important, which means drip lines will still be essential to keep a xeriscape looking its best.
