Colorado is beautiful, but it’s no secret that water is a precious resource out here. A xeriscape gives you a yard that works with the climate instead of fighting it. Lush, textured, and full of life, without the constant watering, the sky-high utility bills, or the upkeep that traditional lawns demand. We come in, clear out what’s there, and build something that genuinely turns heads.

We specialize in xeriscapes.

At Patterson Landscapes, we design xeriscapes that look anything but dry. We start by scraping out your existing yard and reshaping the space from the ground up, then we layer in river rocks, boulders, varying colors and textures of gravel, native and desert shrubs, accent grasses, yuccas, and mulch to create something that feels lush, intentional, and completely at home in Colorado. The result is a yard that reduces or completely eliminates your water requirements while looking better than the lawn it replaced.

A yard that thrives on Colorado's terms.

Switching to xeriscape can cut your outdoor water use by 60% or more, which adds up fast on your monthly utility bill. Beyond the savings, there’s simply less to do. No mowing, no reseeding, no seasonal aeration. Native and drought-adapted plants are built for Colorado’s dry summers and freeze-thaw cycles, so once they’re established, they take care of themselves. It’s the kind of yard that lets you enjoy your weekends instead of spending them maintaining the grass.

Some of the benefits of our xeriscape services include:

  • We scrape out your existing yard and redesign the space from scratch, so the finished product looks cohesive and custom to your home.
  • Our designs incorporate river rocks, boulders, gravel, native shrubs, accent grasses, yuccas, and mulch for a landscape that is full of texture and visual interest.
  • Xeriscaping can reduce outdoor water use by 60% or more, making it one of the smartest long-term investments you can make in your property.
  • Native and drought-adapted plants are built for Colorado’s climate, meaning they hold up through hot summers, dry spells, and hard winters without constant attention.
  • With little to no mowing, watering, or reseeding required, your yard becomes something you enjoy rather than something you maintain.
  • Every xeriscape we design is custom to your space, your style, and your budget, because a great yard should feel like yours.
