El Paso County is one of the most geographically diverse counties in Colorado, spanning 2,130 square miles of foothills communities, forested neighborhoods, open plains, and everything in between. Whether you’re on an acreage lot in Peyton, a suburban street in Gleneagle, or a newer build out in Falcon, we bring the same quality and custom approach to every property we work on, wherever it sits in the county.
The foothills communities to the west bring rocky terrain, natural slopes, and tree coverage that give properties a character most landscapers honestly don’t know what to do with. We love that. Move east toward Falcon and Peyton and you’ve got wide-open, windswept lots where expansive soils and bare-ground erosion actually shape the whole design conversation. And then there are the larger rural and acreage properties scattered throughout the county, where the questions get even more fun. How do you make a big lot feel intentional? How do you create outdoor living space that actually gets used? We’ve worked through it all, and the variety is one of our favorite things about this county. Every property teaches us something new, and every design we build is built specifically for the ground it’s sitting on.
Whether you’re starting from scratch or finally ready to do something great with a yard that’s been sitting neglected, we’ve got you covered. Every project gets a fully custom plan, built around your home, your lot, and your budget.
We design and build complete outdoor living spaces, from the first conversation to the final walkthrough. El Paso County properties come in all shapes, sizes, and settings, and that’s exactly what we thrive on. Acreage lot or suburban backyard, foothills terrain or open plains. The design always starts with what your specific property is asking for.
Sloped and uneven terrain runs through the foothills and foothill-adjacent communities across El Paso County, and a great retaining wall is often what turns an awkward grade into a yard you actually love. It creates usable space where there wasn’t any, manages drainage at the same time, and adds real visual structure to the property. We build up to 4 feet tall without a permit and handle the permitting process whenever the project calls for it.
With over 300 days of sunshine a year and limited rainfall, El Paso County is made for xeriscape design. The result isn’t a yard full of rocks and cactus. It’s a lush, layered outdoor space with river rock, boulders, native shrubs, and drought-adapted plants that look incredible and thrive here without the water bill. Great for properties of any size, and especially smart on larger lots where irrigation costs add up fast.
A lawn that looks great all year, holds up to kids and dogs, and doesn’t require fighting the semi-arid climate every summer. That’s what artificial turf delivers for El Paso County homeowners, and it’s one of the smartest investments you can make in your outdoor space. Every installation comes with a 15-year warranty, and our pet-friendly options with antimicrobial infill are built for the yards that get the most use.
The evenings out here are one of the best things about living in El Paso County, and a custom firepit is all it takes to make your backyard the place everyone wants to be once the sun dips behind Pikes Peak. We design and build wood-burning and gas firepits at any scale, including our resort-style built-in gas units starting at 120,000 BTUs. It’s the kind of feature that changes how you use your outdoor space every single week.
On larger El Paso County properties, smart irrigation design is the difference between a yard that thrives and one that quietly struggles. We build systems that deliver water where it’s needed, on a schedule that makes sense for the property, without waste. Add landscape lighting and your outdoor space has a whole different personality after dark, one that’s worth coming outside for.
A custom water feature changes how a yard feels the moment you step outside. The sound alone is worth it. We design and build everything from simple bubbling boulder installations to full water features, scaled to the property and the surroundings, and every one we build adds something to the space that nothing else can replicate.
Great yards don’t maintain themselves, but with the right team they don’t have to take much of your time either. We keep your outdoor space looking sharp through every season, show up when we say we will, and pay attention to the details that make the difference between a yard that looks fine and one that looks great.
