Most Landscapes Cost Too Much, Require Too Much, and Deliver Too Little
For many homeowners and communities, the yard becomes more of a burden than a benefit. Instead of adding value and enjoyment, it drains resources, creates stress, and never lives up to expectations.
Rising water bills from inefficient irrigation systems and plantings that fail in Colorado’s climate.
Constant upkeep and repairs — from dying plants to cracked patios and shifting walls.
Outdoor areas that go unused because they’re poorly designed, uncomfortable, or impractical.
Every homeowner and community faces challenges with their outdoor spaces — from rising water costs to landscapes that simply don’t function the way they should.
The Good News: These Common Problems Have Answers.
We get it — landscapes often look great at first but quickly turn into money pits, wasting water, requiring endless maintenance, and never living up to expectations.
While many homeowners struggle with landscapes that cost too much and deliver too little, we create smart, sustainable designs that are beautiful, functional, and built to endure.
We know how frustrating it feels when your outdoor space drains your wallet but doesn’t deliver the beauty or usability you hoped for.”
Too often, landscapes are designed without considering drainage, irrigation, or Colorado’s unique climate. The result? Dying plants, cracked hardscapes, and yards that go unused. Many of our clients started in this same place — overwhelmed and unsure of what to do — until we helped them find a better way.
With 25+ years of experience, a CSU background in design and construction, and a reputation built on dozens of 5-star reviews, we’ve helped HOAs, developers, and homeowners achieve landscapes that last. Our fire-wise, water-wise approach sets us apart, ensuring that every project we build is sustainable, functional, and beautiful for years to come.
"We used Colorado Native Landscapes and Design to re-do our backyard that another company had done just a year earlier. The difference in quality was very clear and the results are beautiful! I was also very impressed with the recommendations in design from the owner, Janice. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and I’d highly recommend them for your landscaping project."

"What sets Colorado Native apart from the competition is their desire to hear out the clients wishes and then convert their desires to reality. They are far more attentive and willing to provide written estimates that they stick to than the competition. They worked hard and got the job done."

"We moved into a new home that came compete with "landscaping" by the builder, which of course was 95% gravel with a very small patch of lawn in a 10 foot square. Janice created a beautiful landscape design that my wife and I fell in love with at first sight. The design was a complete makeover of the entire backyard, transforming our boring flat gravel into a beautiful terraced landscape bordered by huge 1/2 ton boulders. People walk from our back deck to a 16 foot pergola covering a large circular patio, then step up wide sandstone steps to the terraced space with a large oval shaped lawn. She worked closely with us on all aspects of the project and even took me along to pick out the boulders from the source.Colorado Native Landscape did a superior job and they did it quickly and completely."

WHAT MAKES US THE BETTER OPTION-
📍Climate- and native-optimized design – We design with Colorado’s altitude, soils, and slopes in mind, using native and drought-tolerant plants that thrive where others fail — delivering landscapes that last, not just look good.
📍Water-smart solutions – From irrigation audits to smart controllers, permeable paving, and runoff capture, we cut water waste and lower utility bills — an edge in a state where water is precious.
📍 Strong project management & transparency – You’ll always know where your project stands with weekly updates, site photos, and clear milestones, a level of communication big firms often fail to provide.
📍Guarantees that back our work – We stand behind our craftsmanship with plant survivability warranties and structural guarantees, reducing your risk and showing confidence in our results.
📍Boutique & responsive scale – We’re big enough to handle HOA or commercial projects, yet small enough that clients get direct access and personal oversight from our owner.
📍Niche expertise – By specializing in fire-wise and water-wise landscapes for HOAs, developers, and residential homes, we’ve become the go-to partner for clients seeking environmental change, a better use of space and water management, safety, sustainability, and beauty.
📍Local roots & deep Colorado experience – With 25+ years designing and building in Colorado, plus local roots growing up in Bow Mar and living in Littleton, we know the microclimates, drainage patterns, and risks others overlook.
📍Aftercare & engagement – Our work doesn’t stop at installation — seasonal visits, irrigation tuning, and plant health checks ensure your landscape thrives for years, where competitors often walk away.
