Thinking about transforming your outdoor space? Before you dive into plant lists and Pinterest boards, there are a few key things to know that can save you time, money, and a whole lot of stress.
At Ridgewell, we’ve been designing and building residential landscapes across Colorado for over a decade. Whether you’re dreaming of a flagstone patio, a custom pool, or a complete backyard overhaul, here’s what we always encourage clients to consider first:
1. Timing is Everything
In Colorado, our climate plays a big role in project timelines. Spring and early fall are ideal for planting, while hardscaping (patios, walls, decks) can happen almost year-round — weather permitting.
Pro tip: The earlier you start planning, the more likely we can align with your ideal install window.
2. Know Your Lifestyle Needs
Do you host big family gatherings? Want a quiet space for morning coffee? Have pets or kids that need room to roam? Your lifestyle should shape your landscape — not the other way around.
3. Budget with Flexibility
We always provide options (often “good / better / best” pricing) so you can choose what fits your priorities. Just like a kitchen remodel, outdoor projects can range widely — but every dollar should add long-term value.
4. Think Long-Term
We build spaces to last. That means choosing plants that thrive in our region, materials that weather beautifully, and layouts that age well with your needs. Your landscape should look even better 5 years from now.
5. Choose a Partner, Not Just a Contractor
Great landscaping is a collaboration. You bring the vision — we bring the creative problem-solving, technical know-how, and dedication to getting it right. We don’t just install things. We build outdoor environments.
Let’s make your yard your favorite place to be.
