Are you committed to sustainability for Boulder, CO?
In the Boulder County community, sustainability is a motivating factor for designing landscapes to reduce water and energy consumption. At Outdoor Craftsmen, our team is dedicated to installing landscapes that work in harmony with the natural environment. Our designs become extensions of the spectacular mountain scenery framing the background for homes and commercial buildings in the Front Range area.
We use xeriscape techniques to choose plants and trees native to the local climate, and that can be sustained by the normal amount of rainfall. We shape the terrain to reduce flooding and soil erosion by distributing water flow to needed areas of the yard. Whenever possible, we install alternative energy products. The final product is a sustainable, upscale, custom outdoor living space that supports the client's lifestyle.
