This raised bed needed some new plantings!
We added lots of various plantings to provide
color and privacy for the back yard
These Broomfield homeowners had updated the front of their home and were seeking complimentary landscaping. Much of the lawn had been damaged and they preferred a xeriscape
We built a paver walk to the front porch, then xeriscaped the rest with lots of plantings using rock and wood mulch while replacing a small portion of the lawn with a water thrifty sod
This Lafayette home had a typical builder-installed water wasting lawn growing on unamended soil. The owners wanted a xeriscape garden with lots of pollinators
We removed the lawn, added berms and lots of xeric plants. The result is a much more interesting yard with curb appeal that supports pollinators and provides huge water savings
These homeowners were looking to remove their lawn and then completely overhaul their backyard.
We started by covering and then expanding the rear patio with brick pavers and a short wall and then adding lots of colorful (mostly native) plantings and space for their raised beds.
This Lafayette front yard was in pretty rough shape and the homeowner was seeking a colorful xeriscape
We removed the 2 raised beds and used the soil to create a couple of berms, a pathway, and lots of colorful plantings. These types of projects make a big difference in curb appeal!
These Broomfield homeowners were using thousands of gallons of water annually to support an unattractive, weed infested lawn
We removed the lawn, converted their sprinklers to drip irrigation, and installed a beautiful xeriscape that completely transformed the front yard
Another home with bland front yard seeking an upgrade
We xeriscaped this front yard with lots of plantings, including a
small rock garden and a dry cobble rock streambed
2022 'before' photo. These homeowners had a large grass yard which they removed on their own. They were seeking a xeriscape which provided color as well as some privacy for their patio area. This from Gate and Green neighborhood in Broomfield
2023 update: We designed and installed a xeriscape, featuring a lot of larger plants to provide color and screening as well as a cobble drainage area
2023 'before' photo. Front yard with typical lawn and lots of river rock. These homeowners wanted a pollinator friendly front yard that consumed much less water.
2024 update: lawn was removed, we added a few berms/ planting areas, some wood mulch for contrast, and reconfigured the rock to make the front yard much more colorful and interesting. This shows how quickly grasses and perennials can develop and fill in!
This small front yard had 5 different types of trees, a lawn that wasn't being used and was lacking a cohesive look
The new raised bed not only hides the concrete foundation, but also provides an elevation change and places for plants in this primarily rock based xeriscape
This Arvada home had another high water consuming front lawn that the homeowners wanted to swap for a xeriscape
We saved a small area of lawn, added a flagstone walk, and then converted this yard to a xeriscape that will save thousands of gallons of water annually and provide lots of color, texture, and plants for pollinators
This Louisville back yard was overrun with weeds
and lacking any sort of cohesive layout.
We used a large existing supply of clay pavers to create a
central patio, then added plantings to give this yard a nice flow.
Thornton front yard consisting of grass and gravel, needs an update!
We widened the driveway with brick pavers, and then installed 2 separate xeriscape gardens and a dry rock streambed.( Note: the city even provided funds for removing the grass!)
The front entrance to this home had an asymmetrical layout with old rotting timbers and little plant material. It needed an update.
We replaced the timbers with a simplified two tier rock wall and added new plantings for a simpler, cleaner look with more color
