FAQs
How can a waterwise landscape help with common problems like mulch washout in Fort Collins?
Our waterwise approach directly addresses issues like mulch washout. We design landscapes with proper grading and utilize strategic hardscaping, such as patios and stone walls, to manage water flow and prevent erosion. For planting areas, we use soil amendments to improve absorption and select deep-rooted, drought-resistant plants that stabilize the soil. Combined with a precision irrigation system that delivers water efficiently without runoff, we create a landscape that's both beautiful and resilient against Northern Colorado's weather patterns.
What does it mean that you only run one crew at a time?
Operating with a single, dedicated crew means your project receives our full and undivided attention from start to finish. This allows for consistent communication, meticulous craftsmanship, and a streamlined process without the delays or inconsistencies that can come from juggling multiple jobs. For you, it translates to a more personalized experience and the peace of mind that our team is focused solely on bringing your landscape vision to life with the care and detail it deserves.
Do you handle both the design and installation of features like patios and outdoor lighting?
Yes, we provide a complete service. With a degree in landscape design and years of local experience, we handle everything from the initial design and plant selection for hardy perennials to the installation of irrigation, patios, and related features. We ensure every element, from the irrigation to the stonework, is integrated for a cohesive, water-efficient outcome.
Can you handle complex projects that include patios, lighting, and other features?
Absolutely. Our comprehensive service means we manage every aspect of your project. We assess the entire site to design a cohesive system. This includes installing efficient irrigation tailored to drought-resistant plants, building patios and stone walls to define space, and integrating subtle lighting to enhance evening enjoyment. For issues like tree roots disrupting a lawn, we evaluate the area and can redesign the landscape, potentially incorporating new plantings and updated irrigation to address specific local concerns, ensuring every element from the patio to the water feature works in harmony.
