Landscape Design In Wheat Ridge, CO That Turns Your Yard Into A Place You Actually Use

Request a Quote

Thoughtful Design Built Around How You Live, Your Property, And The Way Wheat Ridge Really Feels Year-Round

Landscape design is not about adding plants and hoping it works out. In Colorado, it is about creating outdoor spaces that handle sun, slope, wind, soil, and snow while still feeling welcoming every day of the season. Outdoor Lifestyles treats landscape design as a thoughtful planning process that connects beauty, function, and long-term value, rather than relying on a quick sketch and a guess.

Homes in Wheat Ridge, Colorado come with unique challenges, mature trees, older lots, irrigation limitations, drainage concerns, and neighbors close by. Our team designs with those realities in mind, taking time to evaluate the property as a whole before recommending solutions. Every plan is shaped around how you want to use your yard, how much maintenance you want, and how your landscape should grow over time.

Outdoor Lifestyles is a design-build partner, not a handoff company. That means the same team that designs your landscape also understands how it will be built, installed, and cared for. This connection between planning and execution helps avoid miscommunication and keeps your project moving smoothly. The result is fewer surprises, better communication, and outdoor spaces that perform the way they were intended.

A Thoughtful Approach That Prevents Costly Mistakes And Design Regret

Great outdoor spaces start with clear thinking, not rushed decisions. In Wheat Ridge, CO, the wrong layout or plant choice can lead to drainage problems, overcrowded beds, or features that never get used. Our approach focuses on planning every detail before work begins, so your landscape supports how you live and holds up through changing seasons, weather, and long-term use.

  • Designs shaped around how you entertain, relax, and move through your outdoor space
  • Plant and material selections chosen for local conditions, not generic plans
  • Clear budgets and expectations before installation begins
  • Functional layouts that solve drainage, grading, and traffic flow issues
  • Designs created with long-term maintenance and growth in mind

By addressing these details early, we help homeowners avoid redesigns, unexpected costs, and frustration later. The result is a landscape that feels intentional from day one and continues to perform as it matures, rather than needing constant fixes or adjustments.

Landscape Design: $1,500-3,000+

A professional landscape design gives you a clear vision of what will be accomplished on your property. After an in-depth consultation and site assessment, we create 2D blueprints (and 3D renderings as requested) using the industry's most advanced design software to help you better visualize your landscape.

A Proven Landscape Design Process That Keeps Projects Moving Forward

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".

Project Kick-Off Meeting

Before we begin digging in, you get to meet the crew! About 2-4 weeks before the project is ready to begin, your Project Manager will reach out to introduce themselves as your main point of contact throughout the project. They will also ensure you have access to the Field Manager (supervising the build crews) if you have specific questions or concerns. 

Installation Begins

We schedule the installation and construction of your landscape and provide you with a responsive and highly communicative main point of contact. The Project Manager will keep you up to date with weekly, oftentimes daily, email communications about project updates and progress. 

Project Wrap-Up / On-Going Care

We will do a final walkthrough of your property with you to make sure everything is done to your satisfaction. At the end of the project, we offer landscape maintenance options to care for your new landscape. Our clients also receive the benefits of additional warranties as outlined in the Construction agreement. 

Excellent Communication From Square One

We believe good communication is the key to our success. We promise to keep you in the loop on all landscaping developments. While you're in great hands with our Project and Field Managers, the owners will also stop in for regular walkthroughs to ensure top quality.

Trust Outdoor Lifestyles to put you first on every landscaping project. We build landscapes, patios, and outdoor dreams, but first and foremost, we build quality relationships.
