Landscape Design and Build in Centennial and Denver Metro
Land Designs by Colton is a Wheat Ridge-based landscape design-and-build firm serving Centennial and communities throughout the Denver Metro.
Jonathan Colton holds a degree in Landscape Architecture from Mississippi State University’s Department of Landscape Architecture, one of the only accredited programs in the country that integrates design, construction, and site management within a single curriculum. That’s exactly the philosophy behind how we work.
We work here because this is the kind of market where good outdoor design gets noticed and holds its value.
A well-executed landscape in Centennial is a real asset. A poorly installed one, designed by someone who handed the plans to a separate contractor and walked away, tends to show the seams within a couple of years.

Why Design Plus Build
The split-vendor model looks fine on paper. You hire a designer, get a beautiful plan, then hand it to a contractor to build. In practice, the handoff is where things go sideways.
Design-build landscaping in Centennial, CO works differently because accountability runs in one direction. When we design your project, we’re also the ones building it.
If something needs to change in the field, it gets changed with the full context of the design intent still in the room. You never have to explain your vision twice to two different teams.

Colton and his team did a great job cleaning up our landscaping, adding new plantings and repairing our pathways. They showed up for 3 days in a row and finished the project as expected.

Rick Cseak
I’ve been very happy working with Jonathan so far.
He recently installed an irrigation system and sod for me. The work was well done and he and his team were easy to communicate with and very helpful. Looking forward to continuing to work with him as I finish my yard.

Centennial is one of Colorado’s youngest cities. Locals spend time at Centennial Center Park, an award-winning 11-acre community space near the Civic Center, and the historic 17 Mile House Farm Park, a preserved 1860s pioneer way station along the Smoky Hill Trail and one of only two of its kind still standing in Colorado. It’s a city where residents take their properties seriously, and the outdoor spaces tend to reflect that.
