Why Colorado Native

We take on the projects
others won't.

Most landscape companies offer the same handful of standard services. We built Colorado Native Landscapes & Design specifically to handle the complex, multi-element projects that require real design expertise, structural knowledge and the kind of communication that keeps a $150,000 project running smoothly from day one.

Our team brings deep expertise in landscape design and construction — understanding Colorado's unique soil conditions, plant palette and climate extremes at a level that only comes from 25 years of hands-on Front Range experience. We coordinate complex multi-element projects that others walk away from, building outdoor environments our clients can't wait to come home to.

If it's complex — that's exactly where we thrive.

01
Complex multi-element projects
Retaining walls + drainage + native planting + hardscape + fencing — coordinated as one seamless design, one contract, one point of contact.
02
25 years of Colorado plant knowledge
Our landscape design and construction expertise — every plant chosen for your microclimate, elevation, soil type and water budget. Not just how it looks on day one.
03
Written estimates we always honor
No surprise invoices. No scope creep without your approval. What we quote is what you pay — every single time.
04
Daily communication on every project
Janice personally communicates throughout your project. You always know what's happening — never left wondering or waiting.
05
Phased project planning
We design your complete vision upfront then build in phases around your budget — starting with the highest-impact area first.

You want a beautiful Colorado yard —
not just rock and tumbleweeds

We hear these exact concerns from Front Range homeowners every week. You are not alone — and every single one of these problems has a beautiful, sustainable solution.

💧
My water bill spikes every summer and I can't keep up
Most Colorado lawns use 2–3x more water than they need. Drought-tolerant native plants can cut your water use by up to 60% — and still look stunning all season.
🌿
I have a grassy front yard I can't keep watering — but I don't want just rock
Rock yards are not your only option. We design front yards with native groundcovers, ornamental grasses, wildflowers and perennials that look alive — without the water bill.
💰
I have no idea what something like this would even cost
We offer budget-friendly planning and design — we work around what you have. We can show you exactly what different investment levels look like before any work begins. No surprises.
🐦
I wish I had more birds, pollinators and wildlife in my yard
We design habitat gardens that attract hummingbirds, songbirds, butterflies and bees. The right native plants provide food, shelter and nesting — turning your yard into a living ecosystem.
🌿
I want native plants, biodiversity and food security for birds — but don't know where to start
Native plants support 10–50x more wildlife than ornamentals. We select plants that produce seeds, berries and nectar across all seasons — so your yard feeds birds year-round.
🌿
I need to restore my landscape but feel overwhelmed about where to begin
Start with one area. We help you create a phased plan so you can restore your landscape over time — at a pace and budget that works for you. Most homeowners start with the front yard.
🕐
You don't have to do it all at once. We have helped hundreds of Colorado homeowners phase their projects — front yard first, backyard later. We build a plan around your timeline and budget so you can get started today without overcommitting.
We grew up here. We know Colorado soil, Colorado water costs, and what Colorado wildlife needs to thrive. Let us show you what is possible — and what it actually costs to get there.

Residential Landscaping replace
Shelley Archuleta

When the team first came to my door and sat down with me, I could tell she was really listening to my ideas. I had interviewed 6 people but felt that they really listened and delivered a beautiful ideas. Those working at Colorado Native Landscapes have a landscape design back ground...which means they do more that just put in cookie cutter plans, and at the same time offered budget friendly options. Others would come and never produce a plan, or didn't even show up for an appointment. I understand that the industry is busy in a new home development, but they were the only ones who showed up on time...every day and constantly communicated about the project as we went along. I found Colorado Native Landscapes to be the best around. They are straight forward, honest and just good people. The best part was that Colorado Native Landscapes is responsive to give you and estimate, schedule me not that afr out, show up and complete the job to my satisfaction I highly recommend them.

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.

David Hangerman

Colorado Native Landscapes & Design did a wonderful job on our front yard makeover to native drought tolerant landscapes. Janice worked to understand our objectives, style as we went through the design phase. As we entered into construction, she made sure everything was done correctly in agreed time frames. We are very pleased with the final product and would recommend Colorado Native Landscapes.

Andrea Course

This was our first major landscaping project, and we loved working with Janice and the crew! ​ They demoed our patio and built a new herringbone paver patio. They also helped us with a stone walkway and brand new sod. At the beginning, we took a while to settle on the scope of work and budget, and throughout that process, Janice was very understanding and collaborative. Towards the end of the project, there were changes that needed to be made and Janice spent the extra time to make it right. We are so pleased with the quality of their work! Janice made the project fun and it was a joy working with her—we would highly recommend!Review Text

This was our first time working with the landscape company to design a yard and Colorado native landscapes and design made the process fun and stress-free. Janice was a wonderful landscape designer who leads an efficient and clean team. She was able to work with our HOA guidelines and submit our package requirements quickly and with no issues thanks to her knowledge of local plants. We now have a beautiful water, efficient yard. Janice continues to check up on the health of our plants and replace a few plants that did not survive the winner we appreciate having a responsive professional to reach out anytime we have concerns about the landscape highly recommend Janice ​and the team at Colorado ​Native ​Landscapes​ & Design.
