Company Overview

Mill Creek Designs in Dumont is a full-service landscape company owned and operated by Michael Winchell. With a lifelong career in landscaping that began right out of high school, Michael started the company in 2005 with a simple pickup truck and a commitment to craftsmanship. His background includes formal education from FRCC and CSU, completion of the Colorado Master Gardener program, and extensive experience working for prominent local landscapers. This deep local knowledge is essential for tackling the unique challenges of mountain properties in Jefferson, Clear Creek, Boulder, Park, and Gilpin counties, including the realities of local wildlife like deer and elk. The company specializes in transforming ordinary yards into personal oases through a complete design-and-build approach, offering everything from earthmoving and hardscaping to planting and ongoing maintenance. Beyond their professional work, Michael and the team are active community volunteers with organizations like Scraps to Soil and the CSU Extension, reflecting their dedication to the local area.

Common Questions

How do you handle common mountain issues like mulch washout and lawn fungus in Dumont?

For mulch washout, which is common on sloped properties, we focus on proper site grading and installing effective drainage solutions like French drains or dry creek beds to redirect water. We also use heavier, locally-sourced mulch materials that resist washing away. For lawn fungus, common in our mountain climate, we start with soil testing to identify the specific issue, then recommend and apply targeted, environmentally responsible treatments. Often, adjusting irrigation schedules to avoid evening watering—which can promote fungus—is a key part of the solution. Our approach is always tailored to your specific site conditions.

What does your 'design and build' service include for a new patio or retaining wall?

Our design and build service means we handle your project from initial concept to final construction. For a patio or retaining wall, we start with a consultation to understand your vision and the site's needs, such as soil stability and drainage. We then create a detailed design plan, handle all necessary permitting, and perform the construction using our skilled crews. This includes excavation, proper base preparation, masonry or material installation, and final grading. By managing the entire process, we ensure the design is both beautiful and structurally sound, saving you time and coordinating all the complex steps.

Do you offer ongoing maintenance for the landscapes you install?

Yes, we provide comprehensive landscape maintenance to protect your investment and keep your property looking its best. This includes seasonal clean-ups, shrub and tree pruning or trimming tailored to mountain growth patterns, disease and insect management, lawn care, and irrigation system checks and adjustments. Because we installed the landscape, we have an intimate understanding of its specific plants, irrigation zones, and microclimates, allowing us to provide more efficient and effective care. This continuity helps catch potential issues early and ensures your outdoor space thrives year after year.
