Larkspur, Colorado
Landscape construction for Larkspur and Perry Park properties: stonework, steps, dry creek beds, drainage and planting that belongs among the pines and red rock.
Building in Larkspur
Larkspur properties are larger, steeper and wilder than a suburban lot. The best work here looks like it was always part of the site: natural stone, native plants, and grading that follows the land.
The project shown here is in Perry Park, where we built a dry creek bed to carry runoff down a hillside front yard.
What we do
One company for the whole yard, so the parts are planned together and built in the right order.

Local knowledge
Among pine and scrub oak, what you plant near the house matters. We keep the first few feet around structures lean, use rock where it helps, and space plants so fire has less to climb.
Many properties are on wells or small districts with limits on outdoor use. We design for low water from the start and tell you what a planting will need before you commit.
Summer storms move a lot of water across sloped ground. Dry creek beds, boulders and grading slow it down and send it where it won't cause damage.

“This was a project that was postponed for two years because we could not find a company we felt could deliver but John and his team were different from the beginning.”

Common questions
Yes. We usually focus on the area around the home, the entry and the outdoor living space, and blend the edges back into the native landscape.
Yes. Flagstone, boulders and stone steps suit these properties well, and we build them on the same kind of draining base we use for pavers.
We choose plants they tend to leave alone and protect young trees while they establish. Nothing is guaranteed, but the right plant list makes a big difference.
