Xeriscape Landscaping Denver Metro
Low maintenance, low water requirements, drought resistant.
"Xeriscape landscaping is a great landscape design choice for Colorado's arid climate. Low maintenance and low water requirements are a key feature of xeriscapes."
Denis McCauslandGreen Mountain LandscapingXeriscapes: Uses & Installation
Xeriscaping landscaping is a great landscape design choice for many homeowners along Colorado's front range:
- Denver receives very little annual precipitation — only 10–15 inches annually
- Most areas along Colorado's front range have a mix of clay and/or sandy soil and are very alkaline. This makes it challenging to foster the growth of anything but the most drought tolerant plants.
- Most Colorado summers have tight water restrictions — you can't always water your lawn when it needs it — making it challenging for all but the most drought resistant plants to thrive
- Reduced maintenance required — mowing, trimming, etc.
- Improved water conservation means you save money
Green Mountain Xeriscape Landscaping
Green Mountain will meet with you to determine what your goals are with xeriscaping.
Based on your requirements, we look at your land and design the perfect xeriscape landscape design for you. We strive to make our designs in accordance with many of the Xeriscape principles proposed by Denver Water.
A Green Mountain Xeriscape Design will typically include the following:
- Native Plants — Xeriscaping makes use of beautiful native Colorado drought tolerant plants, bushes, and trees. Functional stone features such as patios, walkways, walls, or even fountains bring the design together.
- Efficient Irrigation — Efficient irrigation will include drip irrigation for plants and shrubs, as well as low-angle sprinkler coverage for turf areas. The goal is to provide just the right amount of water, while at the same time preventing wasteful water runoff.
- Limited Turf Area Placement — Most xeriscape design has some grass, but it is limited, shaded, and placed to take advantage of natural drainage.
- Mulch — Organic mulch will be used in and around plants to retain moisture and prevent weed growth.
Save Water and Maintenance Time
- Great looking native plants, bushes, shrubs, and trees that thrive in the dry Colorado climate

Testimonials
I hired Denis and Green Mountain to do landscaping and install sprinklers at my Park Hill home. I screened 8 landscaping contractors — Green Mountain was the ONLY one that came on time, clean and presentable, and prepared to meet my needs. They also had the most competitive bid. The work was finished as planned, on time, and on budget. Denis is a true professional! I will hire them again and recommend them to my friends and neighbors.
