Feel confident that your landscape will be beautiful, durable, and environmentally sensible. Ivy Street Design can plan a large new property with multiple uses or create intimate gardens from a boring yard. We have worked with clients since 1992 to create landscapes that thrive in Colorado’s challenging climate.
Our award-winning work has been featured on the Colorado Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architect’s Tour of Professionally Designed Gardens, and at the Colorado Home and Garden Show. Ivy Street Design’s landscapes are also winners in the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado Excellence in Landscape Award Program.
What is Ivy Street Design’s approach?
This is your landscape project. We start with listening. Then we use our expertise to develop ideas to reflect your project goals. We review estimated project costs, phasing options and maintenance requirements to fit your budget. Together, we modify the preliminary design to meet your needs.
Ivy Street Design prepares construction drawings and specifications, providing the information critical to quality construction. Our plans include elevations, details and layout for grading, drainage, walls, patios, decks, water features and lighting. Ivy Street Design selects trees, shrubs, and perennials for compatibility to their specific location. We advocate mulching and state of the art irrigation.
Ivy Street Design’s standards of excellence distinguish us from our competitors. We use our years of expertise and the latest research from CSU and across the nation to develop ideas that reflect your project goals. We have the horticultural and construction knowledge it takes to build projects that are both sensible and beautiful. Ivy Street Design is passionate about seeing projects move from creative ideas to a seamlessly executed installed landscape.
How do projects get built with Ivy Street Design?
Installing a landscape is a team effort -- between the owner, the designer and contractors. Ivy Street Design’s knowledge of contractors in the landscape industry means you can trust us to bring in the best to work on your project. Ivy Street Design keeps the lines of communication open throughout the installation process. We are on-site to review the project at critical points and make revisions as needed with you and the contractor.
What about maintenance?
Maintenance begins in the design phase. Your plan will reflect your long-term maintenance preferences. All landscapes need some nurturing, especially for establishment. For more specific help, Ivy Street Design can provide month-by-month maintenance references and periodic check-ups for your project.
