Since opening our doors in 1992, we have grown into a team of 338 dedicated professionals who believe that how we do our work matters just as much as the work itself. This belief drives us to invest in our people, serve our communities, and continually raise the standard for what professional landscaping looks like in Colorado.

Developing Our People Into the Leaders Our Clients Deserve

A company is only as strong as the people who show up for it every day — and at Designscapes Colorado, we take that seriously. One of our most meaningful ongoing commitments is investing in the growth and development of our team members, not just as skilled tradespeople, but as leaders within our organization and across the green industry.

We work hard to identify talent within our team and create pathways that move people forward. That means providing mentorship, hands-on leadership training, and industry education through partnerships like the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado (ALCC) — including the new Coloradoscaping certification program launching later this year — so our team members have the credentials and confidence to step into expanded roles.

For our clients, this philosophy has a direct and tangible impact. When the people managing your property have been developed from within, they carry deep institutional knowledge, a strong sense of accountability, and a genuine pride in their work. When someone works with Designscapes Colorado, you are not just getting a service provider,  you are getting a team of professionals who have been built up to perform at a high level and treat your property with the same care they would their own.

Giving Back to the Community We Call Home

At Designscapes Colorado, we have always believed that a thriving community is good for all of us, and that belief compels us to give back in meaningful, hands-on ways. For over a decade, our team has volunteered their time and expertise to plant and maintain the vegetable gardens at Clayton Early Learning, a Denver early childhood school that serves children and families in one of the city's most underserved neighborhoods. Watching those gardens grow year after year, and knowing they provide fresh produce and an educational resource for young learners, is one of the things our team takes the most pride in.

Each year, we also participate in the Angels Among Us gift exchange, spreading a little joy to Denver students during the holiday season. This program has become a cherished tradition within our company and a reminder that the work we do extends well beyond the properties we maintain.

Leadership Recognized Across the Industry

The standard we hold ourselves to has not gone unnoticed. Designscapes Colorado owner Phil Steinhauer was recently honored with the Bob Cannon Outstanding Achievement Award from the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado — one of the most prestigious recognitions in Colorado's green industry. This award celebrates individuals who have demonstrated an exceptional and lasting commitment to the profession, their teams, and the communities they serve.

Better Communication, Better Service — Powered by Aspire

We integrated Aspire, a leading landscape business management platform, into our daily operations. Aspire gives our team and our clients real-time visibility into every service performed on your property. The result is a more transparent, more accountable relationship between our team and the clients we serve.

Aspire also helps us manage our team more efficiently, so the right people with the right skills are on your property at the right time. 

Our Commitment to You

Everything we do from the certifications we pursue, the communities we serve, the technology we adopt, and the leaders we develop comes back to one goal: being a company worthy of our clients' trust. Designscapes Colorado has spent more than 30 years building that trust, and we are just as committed today as we were on day one to earning it every single season.
