Your yard, designed with you and seen in 3D

Design-build means one company carries your project from the first idea to the finished space. We do the entire design process with you first. Then we build it with you, from that design.

The design comes first, and you are part of it. We go through your ideas, your expectations and your timeline, add our recommendations, and keep working on it together until it is right. You see it in 3D and agree on it before anything is built.

Then we build it with you, from that design. The drawings you approved are the plan our crew works from, and you stay part of it through to the final walkthrough. No guessing on the job.

Design-build is not only for patios and walls. It is how we do everything: ponds, waterfalls, fountains, natural swim ponds, swimming pools, patios, pavers, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, fire features, seating areas, landscape lighting, xeriscape and artificial turf.

Watch one of our projects go from the design to the finished yard, so you can see what it looks like and how it feels before your own build starts.

Every design starts with a conversation. We go through what you expect from the space, the timeline you have in mind, and every idea you bring, whether it’s a folder of photos or just a feeling you want the yard to have.

Then we add our recommendations: what holds up in Colorado, what fits the way your family uses the yard, and what will make it easy to live with for years. We blend the two into one personal vision for your space.

Before anything is built, you see it. A full 3D design shows your yard as it will be: where the patio sits, where the water goes, how it all comes together around your home.

Perspective views show the space from the angles you’ll see it every day. If something isn’t right, we change it on the screen, not in the ground.

This is how a design comes to you: a photoreal render of the finished space, 3D views from the angles you’ll see it every day, and a top-down plan of the whole yard. This one is a pond with a rusted truck for a waterfall, a slide, a footbridge and a deck.

Another yard, designed as one piece: a natural pool with a boulder fire pit at the water’s edge, a rock waterfall with water lilies, and a pergola for dinner on the lawn, all on one overhead plan.

One more yard, shown the way you’d walk it: a gravel path through river-rock beds and a stone pillar to the dining patio, then the fire pit circle, a lounge under the umbrella, and a small pond and waterfall against the stone wall.

Once the design is right, we draw it up for the build. Construction drawings give our crew exactly what goes where, so your project goes together with little to no hiccups.

As-builts record the finished project as it was actually built, so you know what sits where long after we leave.

• Full 3D designs of your space
• Perspective views from the angles that matter to you
• Construction drawings for the build
• As-builts of the finished project

We understand exactly what you want before we ever put a shovel in the ground. Every question answered, a price set, expectations clear. That is how a build goes smoothly, and how you end up with the yard you pictured.

Freeze-thaw cycles, expansive soils, elevation changes and water restrictions all shape what will last here. We design with them from the first sketch, so the space you approve in 3D is a space that holds up.
