Our Living-Scape Approach
Living-Scape
Our Approach
Most companies build outdoor spaces. We build outdoor lives. The Living-Scape approach is our 10-step commitment to understanding who you are, how you live, and what your Colorado home deserves.
More Than a Yard.
A Way of Living

The word Living-Scape says it all. Living first. Because your outdoor space is not a project to be finished and forgotten. It is a place where your family actually lives. Where kids run, where dinner happens, where Colorado mornings start and summer evenings end.
Scape second. Because we bring the artistry of landscape design, the precision of construction, and a deep understanding of Colorado's terrain to every single project we take on.
Together, those two ideas form a process unlike anything else in the industry. Ten deliberate steps. One extraordinary result.

Living-Scape Process
Define Your DrEAM Yard
Every great outdoor space begins with a clear picture of what you actually want. Not what you think is possible. Not what fits the budget just yet. What you truly want.We start here on purpose. We invite you to think big, think freely, and describe the outdoor life you have always imagined for your Colorado home. The fire pit conversations on a cool September night. The patio where breakfast happens on a Sunday. The backyard your kids never want to leave. That vision is the foundation everything else is built on.

YOu'r PArtner in This Journey
2.)
We do not show up as contractors. We show up as partners. There is a real difference between someone who builds what you ask for and someone who is genuinely invested in getting it right.
At Outdoor Design Colorado, we believe the relationship we build with you is just as important as the outdoor space we build for you. We are transparent about everything — our process, our timeline, our pricing, and our thinking. You will never feel like you are in the dark about your own project.
YOu'R First Conversation With us
3.)
The first time we talk, you will notice something different. We listen more than we talk. We ask questions most contractors never think to ask.
How does your family use your backyard right now? What frustrates you about it? What time of day do you most want to be outside? What does your neighbor's yard do that makes you a little envious? These conversations shape everything. Our initial consultation is relaxed, informative, and completely free. There is no pressure. Just a genuine conversation about your home and your outdoor life.
Getting into the Details
4.)
This is where we go deeper. We walk your property, assess your site conditions, talk through materials, and get specific about every element of your vision.
We talk about drainage and grade. We talk about Colorado's freeze thaw cycle and what it means for your patio. We talk about which plants will thrive in your exact microclimate. We look at how your home's architecture can inform the outdoor design. No detail is too small. This step is where good projects become great ones.
Your Perfect Design Unveiled
5.)
This is one of our favorite moments. The moment we show you what your outdoor space is going to look like before a single shovel touches the ground.
Using detailed 2D plans and 3D renderings, we bring your Living-Scape to life on screen first. You will see the layout, the materials, the plantings, and the flow. You will understand exactly how your yard will feel when it is done. We do not move forward until you are not just satisfied — but genuinely excited. This is your design. It has to feel completely right.
Reviewing Your Proposal
6.)
No surprises. No fine print. No numbers that appear out of nowhere. We walk you through every line of your proposal so you understand exactly what you are getting and exactly what it costs.
We talk through materials, phasing options, timeline, and payment structure. If your budget needs adjustment, we find ways to prioritize what matters most to you and phase the rest thoughtfully. A proposal should give you confidence — not confusion. By the time we are done with this conversation, you will feel completely clear and ready to move forward.
Building Your Living-Scape
7.)
This is where the vision becomes real. Our crews show up on time, work with care and precision, and treat your property with the same respect they would their own.
Every element of your Living-Scape is built exactly as designed — no shortcuts, no substitutions without your knowledge. We handle all subcontractors, material deliveries, and site management so you never have to chase anyone down. Construction can be disruptive. We do everything in our power to make the process as smooth and stress free as possible for your family.
Staying in Touch
8.)
You will never wonder what is happening with your project. We provide regular updates, are available to answer questions, and flag anything important the moment it comes up.
Most of the frustration homeowners feel during construction comes from silence — not hearing anything and not knowing what to expect next. We solve that with proactive communication at every stage. Your project manager is reachable, responsive, and honest. If something changes, you hear it from us immediately. No surprises. Ever.
Project Completion & Beyond
9.)
We do not consider a project done until you do. Our final walkthrough is thorough, unhurried, and focused entirely on your satisfaction.
We go through every element together. We explain how to care for your new plantings, how to operate any systems we installed, and what to expect through Colorado's seasons. If there is anything that needs attention, we handle it. Our relationship with you does not end when construction does. We stand behind our work and we stand behind our clients.
Celebrate Your new Sanctuary
10.)
Step outside. Breathe it in. This is the moment everything was for.
Your new Living-Scape is not just finished — it is alive. The plants are settling in. The stone is warming in the Colorado sun. The deck is ready for the first morning coffee. The fire pit is waiting for the first cool evening. This is the space your family will live in, grow in, and remember for years to come. We built it together. And we could not be more proud to hand it over to you.
