Solara Designs | Expert Landscaping in Edgewater, CO

Standing water is a common issue in our area, often caused by poor grading or compacted soil. Our landscape design process starts with a thorough site analysis to identify drainage problems. We then create a custom plan that may include regrading, installing French drains or dry creek beds, and selecting water-tolerant plants for low spots. This proactive design not only solves the immediate water issue but also prevents future soil erosion and foundation problems, giving you a dry, usable yard.

Absolutely. Many timer issues stem from overly complex systems or zones that don't match plant water needs. Our designs simplify and optimize your irrigation layout. We group plants with similar water requirements (hydrozoning) into the same irrigation zones, which reduces strain on timers and controllers. We can also design for modern, Wi-Fi-enabled smart timers that are more reliable and allow for easy adjustments from your phone, helping Edgewater homeowners conserve water and avoid malfunctions.

The first and most critical step is our detailed site assessment. We'll evaluate your yard's slope, soil type, sun exposure, and existing water patterns. This allows us to create a master plan where the drainage solution informs the irrigation design and plant selection. For instance, we'll ensure downspouts are directed away from the house into drainage features, and that irrigation zones are laid out to avoid watering those areas. This integrated approach is key to a resilient, low-maintenance landscape in Edgewater.
