New builds and existing yards
Landscape redesign for homes in Colorado Springs, Castle Rock and the towns between. We plan the grading, drainage, hardscape, planting and irrigation together, so nothing has to be torn up and redone later.
Why one plan matters
A patio goes in, then a drainage problem shows up. Sod goes down, then the sprinkler lines have to be trenched through it. Doing a landscape one piece at a time almost always costs more than doing it once, in the right order.
A redesign starts with how you want to use the space, then works from the ground up: where the water goes, what gets built, what gets planted and how it all gets watered. You end up with a yard that works as one piece.
What we do
Whether you're starting from dirt or reworking a yard that never fit, the approach is the same: one plan, built in order.
A blank lot is the best time to get grading, drainage and layout right from the start.
Out with the old rock, failed sod and overgrown beds. In with a yard designed for you.
Entries, beds, borders and plantings that make the house look finished from the street.
Patio, lawn, planting and shade arranged so the yard gets used, not just looked at.
New elements added to what's already working, blended so they look like they were always there.
Walls, steps, grading and drainage that turn unusable ground into usable space.
How we do it
Every redesign follows the same sequence, because each step protects the one after it.
Old material comes out and the ground is shaped so water runs away from the house.
Drains, sleeves and irrigation mains go in while the ground is open.
Patios, walls, steps and borders are built on an open-graded base.
Trees, shrubs and perennials go in, each on the irrigation zone that suits it.
Rock, mulch, sod and lighting finish the yard, then we walk it with you.

“We trusted John to give us a backyard we would actually want to use and he more than delivered. The whole process was fast, communication was amazing every step, and him and the team are so friendly and such hard workers.”

Pricing, explained
Every quote we write breaks the project down so you can see where the money goes. These four things move the number the most.
More ground means more material, more labor and more irrigation.
Demolition, hauling and disposal of what's there now.
Patios, walls and steps cost more per square foot than planting beds.
Tight gates and steep grades slow the work and limit equipment.
Common questions
Yes. We plan the whole yard first, then build it in an order that makes sense, so later phases don't undo earlier work. Drainage and irrigation mains usually belong in phase one.
Every project gets a plan. Simple yards are laid out on site with you. For larger projects we offer 3D design as a paid service, so you can see the yard before construction starts.
With a walk of the property. A bare lot is the easiest time to set grades, plan drainage and run irrigation. Check your HOA's landscape deadline and approval process early, because many new communities have both.
Yes. Healthy trees, good hardscape and working irrigation are worth keeping. We'll tell you plainly what's worth saving and what will cost you more to keep than to replace.
