Boulder County, Colorado is home to over 100,000 acres of open space. These lands help to conserve the natural, cultural, and agricultural resources that would otherwise be up for unchecked commercial development. Homes that border open space land have an opportunity to support that 'transitional edge', as a place for plant and animal diversity. Native and pollinator-friendly perennials line the dry creek bed, with water runoff benefiting the plants. Keeping a 'natural look' with the landscape so that it flows to the open space was a key desire of the homeowner. The plants are still quite young here, but were selected so that full-grown they would not diminish the expansive views.

Low Maintenance Meets Functional Spaces We worked with CNJ Developments on this low-maintenance yet highly functional landscape design in Altadore. We added curb appeal to the front yard with contrasting charcoal mulch garden beds that highlight the trees and shrubs. The backyard space was designed for entertaining, with functional and relaxing seating areas, including one dining area. Plantings and contrasting rock, break up the spaces creating both a harmonious space and clear low-maintenance areas for entertaining. This project includes: Charcoal mulch with shrubs and trees Dimensions 12, Tofino grey paving stone from Expocrete Gas fire bowl Forester Feathered Reed Grass Three Sterling grey Lexington tile slabs 20mm Tan Rock 20mm Washed Rock

This small suburban yard was filled by a large swimming pool. The homeowner is extremely sensitive to the sun so she decided to trade out the pool for this intimate garden space. When this client is not traveling, she is hosting visitors, watching friends’ dogs, or hanging out with her grandchildren. Our job was to create an inviting space that is low maintenance, drought tolerant, and kid- and dog-friendly. Using gravel, concrete pavers, and a simple planting plan consisting of Mediterranean-adaptive plants, we created this design to fit the mid-century home. The gravel allows for the absorption of rainwater while providing a space for kids and dog to romp and play. Olive trees help shade and cool the space, providing a cozy area to gather with friends. The minimalist plantings survive on very little irrigation and require little more than an hour or two of puttering in the garden per season to maintain.

This picture is another example of Xeriscape landscaping and gardening. This photo shows how we used two different types of river rock to add interest and contrast. Curving designs are always a good choice in landscaping. They mimic nature and gently lead the eye along the entire landscape. The brick edging we installed also helps with this visual aspect. The large rocks serve two purposes. Firstly, they create a dramatic impact. Secondly, they give the landscape a three-dimensional quality. This helps to prevent the landscape from appearing ‘flat.’ The plants of varying heights and widths also help to achieve this.

Злаковые растения быстро развиваются и могут в короткие сроки воплотить в реальность представления долгой жизни усадьбы, убрав впечатление «новодела», что всегда выглядит неприятно и немного жалко.
