Designing for Bow Mar requires a delicate balance of architectural preservation and strict adherence to neighborhood covenant restrictions.
Bow Mar is highly protective of its neighborhood character, especially regarding building heights, property sightlines, and lake views. We work closely with the Bow Mar ACC from day one and can prepare detailed 3D renderings that prove your project enhances the community while respecting your neighbors’ views.
Properties surrounding Bow Mar Lake must manage surface runoff carefully to prevent fertilizer and sediment from entering the water ecosystem. Our designs incorporate organic soil amendments and eco-friendly drainage systems to protect the lake.
Bow Mar features beautiful mid-century modern and prairie-style architecture. Our design team excels at clean-lined hardscaping, minimalist planting layouts, and geometric layouts that complement these architectural styles perfectly.
From pristine beach entries and lakeside fire lounges to clean, modern pool decks and putting greens, Designscapes Colorado brings your dream backyard to life. Our in-house team guarantees absolute quality control from initial concept sketches to the final stone laid.
We have extensive experience working with strict architectural committees. We can provide full-color 3D structural fly-throughs, detailed material samples, and exact sightline drawings to show the ACC exactly how your trees, pavilions, or fences will look, ensuring a smooth and rapid approval process.
We use “frame and window” planting design. Instead of planting a continuous wall of trees that blocks views, we strategically cluster low-profile ornamentals and use deciduous canopy trees with high branches. This naturally frames the mountains or lake, maintaining privacy at the ground level while leaving the horizon wide open.
We construct specialized rain gardens and use permeable pavers that allow stormwater to filter naturally into the ground rather than running directly into the lake. We also utilize organic-heavy planting zones that act as a natural buffer, keeping the lake pristine.
