The Landscape Architect Cherry Hills Village Has Been Waiting For

There’s something about the combination of large lots, mature trees, and the Rocky Mountains sitting right there in the distance that makes landscape architecture here genuinely exciting. When a project comes together in a place like this, it really comes together. As a licensed landscape architecture firm, we work at the intersection of environmental design, site planning, and aesthetic vision.

We think about how your outdoor spaces function across seasons, how they relate to your home’s structure, and how they’ll hold up against Colorado’s sometimes unpredictable weather. We bring real credentials and hands-on experience to every project, not just good taste.

What sets us apart is pretty simple: we treat every project like it belongs to someone we know. We listen carefully, share ideas openly, keep you updated every single day, and handle everything from initial site assessment through final installation.

What Cherry Hills Village Homeowners Say After Working With Us

Rated 5 out of 5

Jon and Team were great to work with throughout the project. We had a few delays that Jon was more than willing to accommodate, and he was a great professional throughout. Our yard looks phenomenal and we haven’t had any follow-up issues since the installation.

Jon also went above and beyond and graveled our backup parking space because he had extra material.

The whole project was completed faster than I anticipated and completely on budget. I would HIGHLY recommend Land Designs to anyone in Denver. Great job and thank you!

How Much Does a Landscape Architect Cost in Cherry Hills Village, CO?

Design services typically start at $1,200, and additional scope, such as a full 3D conceptual rendering of your outdoor space, is priced separately based on your needs. After an on-site visit, we’ll give you a clear, itemized quote with no surprises.

For an accurate estimate for your specific project, reach out via our contact page with your details, and we’ll take it from there.

Five factors that affect the cost of landscape architecture:

Project scope and site size: A front yard refresh and a full front-and-backyard transformation are very different projects. Larger sites with more zones, more grading, or more structural complexity will naturally carry higher overall costs.
Hardscaping elements: Concrete patios, stone retaining walls, fire features, and custom walkways are usually the biggest line items in any landscape architecture project. The materials you choose and the complexity of installation matter more to the final number than almost anything else.
Irrigation and lighting systems: Smart irrigation and landscape lighting add genuine long-term value to a property, and they're real investments. The size of the system and the technology you select will influence where your project lands on the cost spectrum.
Plant material selections: Native and sustainable plants suited to Colorado's semi-arid climate tend to be more cost-effective over time, but the quantity and maturity of the plant material you want will factor into the budget.
Site challenges and existing conditions: Slopes, drainage issues, hardscape that needs demolition, or difficult access can add time and labor to a project. Every site is a little different, which is why an on-site visit is always the most honest starting point.

Budgets and Timelines That Work in the Real World

Landscape architecture is a real investment, and we think it’s worth talking about that directly rather than dancing around it.

A well-designed outdoor space is something you’ll use and enjoy for fifteen, twenty, or even thirty years. A $28,000 project that adds daily quality to your life and meaningful value to your home over two decades works out to roughly $1,400 a year. We work with every client to find a scope and design that fits their real financial picture, and we’re upfront about costs before anything gets started.

Construction can feel disruptive, and we understand that. Your home is your space, and having crews on your property isn’t exactly relaxing. We plan timelines carefully, communicate them clearly, and stick to them almost every time. If something changes, you’ll know before we do anything about it. The goal is always to walk you through a completed outdoor space on the date we said we would.

FAQs About Landscape Architecture in Cherry Hills Village, CO

Do I need a licensed landscape architect, or will a landscaper do?

For work that involves grading, drainage, retaining structures, or anything that requires permits, a registered landscape architect brings a level of professional practice and liability coverage that a general landscaper simply can’t match. In Cherry Hills Village, where properties are valuable and the expectations are high, working with certified professionals protects your investment from the start.

How long does a landscape architecture project typically take?

It depends on the scope. A front yard renovation might take a few weeks from design approval to completion. A full front-and-back transformation with hardscaping, irrigation, and landscape lighting could take 2 to 3 months. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our on-site visit so you know exactly what to expect before anything gets underway.

What design styles work well for Cherry Hills Village properties?

Cherry Hills Village properties tend to respond beautifully to designs that work with Colorado’s natural character rather than against it. That often means native plant material, natural stone, clean functional lines, and inviting outdoor living areas that connect the home to the landscape. That said, every project is different, and the best design is always the one that reflects how you want to live in your space.

Does Land Designs by Colton handle the entire project, or do we need other contractors?

We manage the full process. From site assessment and conceptual design through permitting, construction, irrigation, planting, and lighting installation, we handle it end-to-end. One team, one point of contact, and no need to coordinate between multiple vendors.
