Health Benefits Enjoyed By Landscapers
Imagine spending your days designing or building beautiful landscapes that blend patios and outdoor living spaces with lush greenery and Xeriscape gardens. This is what landscapers do and it offers many benefits for your health and well-being.

- Increases the amount of vitamin D in your body - this is necessary to absorb calcium for healthy bones and teeth, and helps to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease
- Lowers the primary stress activator in your system - cortisol
Positive Attitude

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.
