Whether you’re in Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Parker, or Boulder, we specialize in transforming Colorado outdoor spaces into beautiful, functional, and sustainable landscapes.
Custom Landscape Design Tailored to Colorado’s Climate
At Colorado Dreamscapes, we specialize in landscape design built specifically for the Denver metro area and Colorado Front Range. Our team understands the challenges of local soil, water restrictions, seasonal droughts, and elevation changes. Whether you’re looking for a lush, native garden or a low-maintenance xeriscape with impact, we design for long-term beauty and sustainability.
We work with you to incorporate both form and function—from hardscaping and walkways to colorful beds, lighting, turf, and drainage solutions. Every project is custom, built around your lifestyle, aesthetic, and the unique needs of your property.
Landscape Design Process
Our step-by-step design process ensures your landscape is built to last — starting with a site visit by our designer and certified arborist, Jim McGannon.
- Step 1: Site Visit & Consultation
We assess the site with our arborist to evaluate soil, drainage, sun exposure, and existing vegetation. Measurements, photos, and video are taken to guide the design. - Step 2: Drafting Your Custom Plan
We create a tailored design based on your goals and the arborist’s evaluation — including material selection (stone, concrete, decking), layout, and added features like grills or outdoor kitchens. - Step 3: Plan Review
You review the proposed design and give feedback on features, layout, and finishes. - Step 4: Revisions (if needed)
We refine the plan based on your feedback to ensure every detail is just right. - Step 5: Schedule Installation
Once the plan is finalized, we set your project timeline and prep for build day.
