Elevated Landscape & Design | Certified Landscapers in Durango, CO

Our landscape design approach in Durango focuses on selecting drought-tolerant native plants and grasses that require less water. We also incorporate efficient irrigation systems, like drip lines and smart controllers, to minimize water waste. By grouping plants with similar water needs and using mulch to retain soil moisture, we create landscapes that stay lush even during dry spells, reducing your water bill and maintenance efforts.

For soil compaction issues common in Durango lawns, our design process includes soil testing and aeration recommendations. We design landscapes with proper grading and drainage solutions to prevent future compaction. In planting areas, we use techniques like tilling and adding organic matter to improve soil structure, ensuring better root growth and water infiltration for healthier, more resilient plants.

Absolutely. Our designs integrate solutions for both issues by using permeable hardscapes to reduce compaction, selecting deep-rooted plants that break up soil naturally, and implementing rain gardens or swales to capture runoff. This holistic approach creates a sustainable landscape that conserves water, improves soil health, and thrives in Durango's conditions with minimal ongoing care.
