Beautiful, Low-Water Landscapes for the Front Range
Water is precious in Denver, yet traditional lawns consume nearly half of household water. Our xeriscape service replaces resource-hungry bluegrass with stunning, drought-tolerant gardens that thrive in our climate. We start with a site consultation to understand your sun exposure, soil, and aesthetic goals. Then we design a regionally-appropriate planting plan featuring native and adapted perennials, ornamental grasses, and groundcovers that provide four-season interest.
Our installation process includes lawn removal (using sheet mulching or sod cutting), soil amendment to improve water infiltration, and conversion of existing sprinklers to efficient drip irrigation. We also integrate hardscape elements like flagstone pathways, decorative gravel, and rain gardens to capture runoff. Every xeriscape is built to reduce maintenance by 80% while supporting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Featured by Denver Water, our designs are not a trend – they are a practical, beautiful response to our water crisis. With 13 years of experience, we ensure your yard becomes a resilient oasis that expresses joy without wasting a drop.

Transform Your Yard into a Food-Producing Ecosystem
Imagine stepping outside to pick fresh herbs, berries, and vegetables from a landscape that looks as good as it tastes. Our edible landscaping service integrates fruit trees, berry shrubs, perennial vegetables, and herbs into a beautiful, layered design inspired by permaculture principles. We assess your property's microclimates, water flow, and sun patterns to create a food forest that works with nature, not against it.
Services include site analysis, design blueprints, plant sourcing, and full installation. We focus on climate-resilient edibles like apples, plums, currants, rhubarb, asparagus, and native edible plants. We also implement passive water harvesting – like swales and rain gardens – to keep your plants thriving with minimal supplemental water. Maintenance plans are available to help you succeed. More than just landscaping, we are building resilient communities one yard at a time. Join the growing movement of Denver residents who are turning sterile lawns into productive, pollinator-friendly gardens that feed families and regenerate the earth.

Hardscape pieces like flagstone paths, decorative gravel, and rain gardens are added where they make sense. The result is a yard that needs far less water and upkeep and still draws bees and butterflies.

Low-water landscaping in Denver
Most household water in Denver ends up on lawns that see little use, so we design landscapes that lean on regionally suited plants instead. We begin by looking at how sun, slope, and soil behave on your property, then select species that can handle the Front Range's dry conditions. Work can include removing turf, improving soil so it holds moisture, and fitting drip irrigation in place of spray heads. We also design rain gardens to catch runoff from roofs and paths. Once established, these yards...

At Colorado Ecoscapes and Urban Gardens, we believe a beautiful yard shouldn't cost the earth. For over a decade, we've been helping homeowners across Denver transform thirsty lawns into vibrant, low-water landscapes that burst with life and purpose. We are not traditional landscapers – we are craftsmen, plant lovers, and ecological problem-solvers who obsess over doing right by the land and our clients.
Founded on a deep respect for our semi-arid climate, we specialize in xeriscapes and edible gardens that make sense for Denver. We know nearly half of residential water goes to grass that no one uses. That's why we remove traditional bluegrass lawns and replace them with drought-tolerant native plants, pollinator-friendly habitats, and custom raised beds for serious food production. Every project is a partnership – we listen, we design, and we build with integrity, using regionally appropriate species and natural, non-treated lumber. Our goal is not just a pretty garden; it is a resilient ecosystem that feeds your family and regenerates the soil for years to come.
