Elevating Outdoor Living in Denver’s Premier Tech Center Suburb

Greenwood Village properties offer incredible potential, but they also present distinct engineering and environmental challenges that demand professional expertise.

Addressing Greenwood Village's Specific Landscaping Realities

Expansive Bentonite Clay Soils

Greenwood Village is notorious for highly expansive clay soils that can shift and crack traditional concrete or hardscaping. We work with engineers to utilize engineered sub-base systems to ensure your patios, pool decks, and outdoor kitchens remain perfectly level for decades.

High Water Tables & Drainage Mitigations

Properties near the Greenwood Gulch or local trail systems often experience high water tables and complex drainage patterns. Our team works with builders, contractors, and engineers to design French drains, bioswales, and grading solutions that direct water away from your foundation while naturally nourishing your landscape.

The Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Transition

Greenwood Village architecture offers the ability to enjoy outdoor living throughout the seasons. Building outdoor fireplaces, fire pits, kitchens and cabanas, that can make your outdoor living room feel like a natural extension of your interior.

Why juggle multiple contractors? Designscapes Colorado provides an elite, turnkey service. Our award-winning landscape architects and designers collaborate directly with our in-house construction crews, ensuring that the exquisite details designed on paper are executed perfectly in your backyard.

How do you prevent patios and retaining walls from cracking in Greenwood Village's clay soil?

Traditional building methods can fail in expansive Colorado clay. When needed, we work with engineers to help develop a plan that will help ensure structural integrity.

What features are most effective for creating privacy in close-knit Greenwood Village neighborhoods?

We utilize layered landscaping for privacy. Many of their neighborhoods do not allow fences, so we incorporate a staggered mix of mature evergreen trees (like Austrian Pines and Colorado Blue Spruce) combined with deciduous canopy trees and structural hardscaping elements.

Can you integrate luxury pools and spas into a Greenwood Village landscape?

Yes. We handle work with pool contractors to handle the entire process, including soil testing, structural engineering for pool shells, gas line integration for custom heaters, automated covers, and pool deck hardscaping that complements your home’s architecture.
