Planting & Softscaping

Planting & Softscaping for Colorado’s Climate

Colorado’s high desert climate presents a unique opportunity to blend native beauty with smart landscaping. At Colorado Dreamscapes, we specialize in planting and softscaping strategies that thrive in our region’s soil, sunshine, and elevation. From drought-resistant perennials and flowering shrubs to native grasses, ornamental trees, and low-maintenance groundcovers, we select plant materials that look incredible and last.

We also incorporate mulch beds, landscape edging, decorative rock, and layered planting techniques that improve water retention and reduce weeds — all while elevating your curb appeal and outdoor enjoyment.

What to Expect with Softscaping Services

At Colorado Dreamscapes, we approach every softscaping project with the same level of detail and professionalism as our larger design and build services. Whether you’re refreshing an existing yard or starting from scratch, we begin with a site walkthrough to evaluate soil conditions, irrigation, sun exposure, and your aesthetic goals.

Once we understand your vision, we build a custom plant palette using Colorado-friendly vegetation — blending texture, height, color, and seasonal interest. Our planting plans often incorporate native trees and shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and groundcover to ensure your yard thrives with minimal maintenance and water use.

We also account for long-term growth, proper root spacing, drainage, and future maintenance to make sure your new softscape matures beautifully and sustainably.
