Hiring a professional landscape design firm like Outdoor Craftsmen will transform your outdoor space from a collection of plants into a cohesive, functional environment.
The top five reasons a landscape designer is worth the investment:
- Expert design and long-term vision
Experienced landscape design companies like Outdoor Craftsmen have decades of know how to create a balanced, beautiful layout that works year-round where you live, because that is where we work. We consider scale, color, seasonal interest, and how the space will mature over time, something that’s hard to achieve with a piecemeal approach. - Right plant, right place
A good designer understands soil, climate, sun exposure, and water needs – especially important in challenging regions like Boulder County in Colorado. This ensures plants not only look good initially but thrive for years with less maintenance. When we are good stewards of your land – thinking through all the small but important details – we set you up to be good stewards of your land too. It is especially helpful that we are local to where you live and landscape: Boulder County and Northern Colorado Front Range. We are experts in this area specifically and design based on the particulars of growing here. - Saves time and avoids costly mistakes
Design errors such as poor drainage, overcrowding, wrong plant choices and lack of understanding of the environment can be expensive to fix. Outdoor Craftsmen gets it right the first time, saving time, money, and stress in the long run. - Increased property value and curb appeal
Thoughtful landscaping can significantly boost your home’s value (up to as much as 15% over comparable houses) and create a strong first impression. Well-designed outdoor spaces are increasingly seen as an extension of the home. And you get to enjoy the beauty of your Outdoor Craftsmen the entire time you are living there! - Efficient use of water and resources
We always incorporate sustainable practices like xeriscaping, smart irrigation, and soil improvement so the landscape conserves water and reduces ongoing costs. ‘Low-maintenance’ and ‘xeriscaping’ aren’t trendy buzzwords to us – they are thoughtfully considered decisions when designing for the future of your property and your enjoyment of it year-round. We understand the environmental needs and requirements of native plantings, including the reduced use of water, less need for chemicals, and more bees, birds, and butterflies which contribute directly to global climate health.
Three bonus reasons to work with a trusted, reliable landscape design company like Outdoor Craftsmen:
- We know a LOT about trees, and this is a good thing, considering their cost and longevity in the landscape. We know where to plant trees, and which trees are the best choice not only for aesthetics, but for heating and cooling, too.
- Our designs are inspiring! We work with you to understand what you want – including those special features that will make your outdoor space a living space and true extension of your home.
- Our landscape designers know regulations and code. We create a landscape you love and use often while minding the myriad of regulatory details we’re both accountable for adhering to. You want expertise from start to finish. We remain involved with the construction and follow-through of your project. You’ll sleep better at night knowing we’ve dotted the i’s and crossed the t’s.
Great landscape designers go the extra mile to offer up solutions and features for your landscape that you may not have thought of like a natural swimming pool, outdoor kitchen and fire feature, pathways to quiet spaces, preservation of views, and solutions for privacy and noise reduction.
