Sustainable Xeriscaping For Your Arvada, CO Home

Enjoy a Long-Lasting Landscape that Requires Little to No Water

A great-looking landscape adds value to any property, but some landscapes require more work and resources than you may be prepared for. If you want an eye-catching landscape that doesn't require regular maintenance, such as mowing, weeding, and watering, then you should talk to the experts at Outdoor Lifestyles about xeriscaping. Xeriscapes use hardy plants, including Colorado native plants, that are drought-resistant and will thrive in your Arvada, Colorado landscape without regular attention. Not only does this make your outdoor areas more durable, it is also more sustainable and good for your local environment. We also use hardscaping to add function and beauty to xeriscapes, creating a truly personalized look that complements your home or business.

Designing and installing a xeriscape on your property requires vision, skill, and a commitment to producing high-quality results. Our professional team will carefully put together a xeriscaping plan for you and bring it to completion. We treat each landscape with individualized care, and when we are finished, we showcase it like a masterpiece, adding it to our tour of landscapes.

Our customers appreciate our focus on communication throughout the build/install process. In fact, we design our customer engagement process to include multiple touchpoints throughout, always ensuring that at each phase of the build you have a dedicated project manager, office staff support, and direct touchpoints when needed with our senior leadership team. Furthermore, anytime customers elect a change, we safeguard alignment through the revision by requiring a signed change order which alleviates any ambiguity.

A Process that Works for Every Customer

We value our customers and their landscaping ideas. To begin and maintain our relationship with each customer, we have developed a proven process that gets the ball rolling and keeps it moving throughout every project or package. Find out how Outdoor Lifestyles makes great landscaping easy to obtain.

Initial Contact

Talk with one of our friendly representatives, and give us an idea of your landscaping vision. We will schedule an on-site consultation (typically 30 minutes). You will fill out our Design Questionnaire, which helps you choose options that fit your landscaping vision, and you will look over our Design Fee agreement. Before the consultation, you can also review our Pricing Guide to help you estimate a budget.

Landscape Consultation

One of our landscape design professionals comes to your home or business to listen to your ideas, walk through your property, and give you valuable feedback. We will bring along the paperwork and agreement forms that you need to continue the process.

For select customers, as part of our consultation, we will invite you on a tour of our previous landscaping work in the area. This is an excellent opportunity for you to see the quality of our handiwork firsthand, step foot on past clients' homes or businesses, and hear firsthand their experience and transformation story.

After the consultation, if we both agree we're a fit and are ready to move forward, we'll ask that you sign our Design Fee agreement and pay the $1500 minimum. Then a landscape designer will go on property to take measurements to begin the design process.

Design Phase

We'll present you with different design options and materials based on your needs and budget to create a design you'll love. After the initial design is presented, you will have two revisions (with the last revision typically being very minor). We charge $95/hr for additional revisions beyond the Design Fee agreement. The timeline for getting the initial design and making changes can range from 2-8 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the project, but 4-6 weeks is typical. We also provide you with a projected budget, depending on the elements in your plan.

Once the final design plan and budget is completed and approved, we'll have you sign our Construction agreement. The Construction agreement outlines any necessary permits, the work schedule, and the payment schedule (which consists of 20% increment payments). The first 20% payment is broken down into a 5% deposit to hold your spot in our crew's schedule, and the other 15% due at the start of the project. The remaining 20% increments are paid per the payment schedule as milestone "progress payments".
