What we build

Twenty things we build by hand, from the first koi pond to the last path light. Every one of them starts with a conversation.

How the work runs

Our Process is intended to take all of the guesswork, stress, and frustration out of your contract project. We won’t dig a single hole before we’ve answered all of your questions, given you a price, and set clear expectations for the duration of the project.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    Our process begins with a Discovery Call, designed to uncover your specific needs, vision, timeline, and expectations. We can connect by phone or video call, whichever works best for you.

    This allows us to fully understand your goals and ensure we’re the right fit to bring your project to life. We’ll discuss your ideas in detail and provide pricing estimates based on similar projects we’ve completed. From there, we’ll outline the next steps, whether that’s scheduling an on-site consultation or starting our design to refine your vision.

  2. 02

    On-site consultation

    The next step is an on-site consultation. This evaluation allows us to assess your property’s unique layout and discuss specific details about your project.

    This thorough assessment is a paid service, with the cost determined during your Discovery Call. It helps identify potential challenges before work begins, preventing unexpected delays and allowing us to provide an accurate project plan.

    Investing in this step gives you expert recommendations tailored to your space, ensuring a smooth transformation of your outdoor space.

  3. 03

    Design & 3D rendering

    Next we craft a detailed project design that serves as the foundation for your transformation. This allows us to capture all project details to create an accurate and thorough estimate.

    Basing our estimates on the finalized design ensures that nothing is overlooked in the bidding process. This clarity allows us to set realistic expectations for project delivery, so you know exactly what to expect every step of the way.

    Watch: design and 3D rendering

  4. 04

    Approval & construction

    Once you’ve approved the budget and timeline, we begin construction, bringing your vision to life with careful planning and expert craftsmanship.

    We understand that starting a project can feel overwhelming, which is why we focus on clear communication and thorough preparation. By ensuring every detail is aligned before work begins, we create a smooth and stress-free experience. Our team is dedicated to making the process enjoyable and exciting as we transform your outdoor space into something truly special.

  5. 05

    Project complete!

    As we reach the final stage of your project, we’ll schedule a final walkthrough to ensure every detail meets your expectations. During this walkthrough, we’ll review the entire project together, address any final details, and make any necessary adjustments to ensure everything is completed to your satisfaction.

    Your approval of the project happens at this stage, ensuring that every element aligns with your vision. Once everything is finalized, your new outdoor space will be ready for you to enjoy, creating the perfect setting for relaxation and connection.

LCM Outdoor Living built a masterpiece in my back yard!

My wife and I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. The pondless water feature that Landon designed from the 50 tons of boulders is beautiful both day and night. Ernesto and his crew were spectacular at everything they did, and they incorporated several little tweaks that made a huge difference in the way the yard feels and looks.

Over the moon with the final product, with the highest recommendation for the whole project and the Company!!!

Landon and his crew are absolutely unbelievable.

Landon is passionate about what he and his crew do and he takes an idea and turns it into beautiful reality. We have had multiple projects done. From additions of plants, trees, and miscellaneous landscape projects to a couple of awesome water features.

Read the whole review

We seem to do more little projects each year with Landon and he has turned our front and back yard areas into beautiful areas to relax and enjoy with our family and friends. We have done patios and plants and drip lines and water features and concrete. Landon does it all and we have loved every project he has done for us. We would and do recommend Landon to everyone we know.

We hired LCM to help with an erosion issue in our backyard, and while our main focus was resolving that problem, Landon’s design went far beyond what we imagined was possible for our space.

Read the whole review

With a smaller yard and the challenge of a retaining wall, we didn’t think our backyard could ever feel so special, but Landon and his team completely transformed it into something magical. Our backyard now feels like a private retreat of resort quality, and our family will enjoy it for many years to come. I never would have dreamed of having a waterfall in my backyard, but Landon made that dream a reality.

Both Landon and Joe were not only talented but also friendly and personable, which made the process such a pleasure. Joe and the crew were incredibly attentive and meticulous with every detail, we were amazed watching them work. They are truly artists. Every rock, every square inch of the yard was placed with care and precision. The crew's work ethic was also unmatched: the team showed up bright and early every day, often before 8 AM, and worked until 5:30 or 6. In less than two weeks, they completely transformed our yard.

Our gratitude cannot be stressed enough. We are so grateful for their dedication, vision, and personalized service. This project has been the best investment in our house we've ever made, and we cannot recommend LCM enough!

Astounding.

Absolutely astounding is how I would characterize the work that Kim did to create our water feature and the entire landscaping space around it. She clearly has such a passion for the work that she does and would not rest until it was perfect.

Read the whole review

We were not always the easiest clients - we had opinions about plant colors and vision etc, but she was so gracious and went to the next level to help us achieve our vision. We had to fully replace our water feature because it wasn’t built in a durable way by the previous landscaper, and what Kim crafted was just so far and above what we had before and what we even dreamed possible! If you want it done right and absurdly beautifully, Kim and Landon are the go-to people for this. We have a true piece of art that sounds like heaven and will bring our family joy for many years to come.

We couldn’t be happier with the work LCM Landscaping did on our natural spring-fed pond.

They created something that looks like it has always been part of our ranch, the shape, size, and overall design blend seamlessly into the landscape.

Read the whole review

What impressed us most was the thought they put into every detail. They incorporated safety features for our grandkids, including a shallow area and multiple easy exit points, without taking away from the natural beauty of the pond.

The crew was outstanding to work with. They were respectful of our property and our horses, kept the job site incredibly clean, and consistently went the extra mile to make sure everything was done right. They genuinely cared about the final result, and it showed.

If you’re looking for a team that combines craftsmanship, creativity, and professionalism, I highly recommend LCM Landscaping. They exceeded our expectations and created a space our family will enjoy for years to come.

Deon MacMillanGoogle review · 2 months ago

Landon and his crew rescued my project from another company, who were in over their head.

They transitioned into the project seamlessly and finished the project before the original planned completion date. LCM was very professional. They cleaned up their workspace everyday at the end of shift. They also maintained a clear schedule so there was no confusion as to what the plans were day to day. I would recommend Landon and his company to anyone and everyone. Top notch and top quality!

Mike WhittingtonGoogle review · 2 years ago

Landon and team delivered on time, and on budget a beautiful water feature.

I had met with numerous folks over the years, including meeting with many companies at the CO Garden and home show. However, I never felt confident in the ability of companies to do this project, until I met Landon. The combination of great organization and planning and artistry is very rare to find.

We just had my daughter's graduation party at the home, and people were consistently complimenting its beauty. I would highly recommend LCM Landscape & Design.

Jay MillardGoogle review · 8 years ago

We moved to a new build last summer and started with a literal blank slate of sand and a serious water run off.

Landon took the time to assess our needs and work with us in designing a yard that was functional and beautiful and water friendly. We'll continue to add and grow this oasis and will definitely come back to this company for that work.

Trisha AnthonyGoogle review · 3 years ago

We were very pleased with the workmanship, They started exactly on schedule and completed on schedule.

Their employees were very pleasant, courteous, and reliable.

Stephen TitonyGoogle review · 7 months ago

Jordan and his team were fabulous.

They did a complete cleaning of one pond, and when the second pond developed some algae, they Fully cleaned That as well.. We cannot be more happy with the service that LCM and Jordan and his team have provided.

James OgsburyGoogle review · 4 months ago

There are two words to describe Landon & his Crew – Absolutely Outstanding!

Landon, unlike many contractors, listened intently to our landscaping ideas, offered professional and knowledgeable advice, and finished the work in record time. Without reservation, we highly recommend Landon and his business for your landscaping and water feature projects.

Charles O.From our clients

We had a small waterfall/pondless pond this summer and LCM knocked it out of the park!

Landon personally placed our waterfall rocks, and the crew was meticulous. Landon’s passion shows from consult to completion. We’ve received so many compliments and have enjoyed the feature and sound more than we expected. Well worth the investment; our yard feels like a resort!

Becky S.From our clients

We spoke with Landon today about our next project and had a great experience.

We are very excited to get this new water feature built in our yard. Know this will be a huge under taking we wanted to make sure we went to the right team. These guys had the best garden at the Colorado garden and home show and again talking with Landon sealed the deal for us.

Kyler S.From our clients

I would highly recommend LCM for any landscaping needs, but especially ponds and waterfalls.

Landon, the owner, runs a top notch company, where quality, timeliness, and customer satisfaction are key. He put a pond in our backyard where every boulder and plant were thought out and strategically placed. We are 100% happy with the results.

Carol S.From our clients

LCM did a fabulous job on our landscaping project that includes a very large water feature with a flowing stream, ornamental trees, bushes, flowers, fire pit, seating, lights, and a full irrigation system. We are so happy with our outdoor living space, and it really accentuates the attributes of our new home. Thank you Landon and your team!

Susanne M.From our clients

Landon and the team at LCM are very knowledgeable, capable, and professional.

They helped us totally reshape our front yard, adding a parking space, awesome buffalo grass, tons of colorful native flowers, and trees that have handled the blasting sun without complaint. Thank you!
