Grass Isn't the Only Way to Go Green

Who says a beautiful yard has to be covered in grass? 🌿
Colorado homeowners have options, and some of the most eye-catching landscapes use very little traditional lawn.

Think decorative rock, drought-tolerant plants, natural stone, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces.

Xeriscaping can help reduce water needs while giving your property plenty of personality.

Less thirsty. More stylish. 💚

Let's create a landscape that makes sense for Colorado.

Your Yard Called. It Wants a Fall Makeover. 📞 It says it's ready for something new.

Fall is a great time to start imagining what your outdoor space could become. A beautiful paver patio? A fresh landscape with decorative rock? Maybe artificial turf that stays green without the mowing.

At 1st Green Colorado, we help homeowners turn those "someday" backyard ideas into real outdoor spaces.

🍂 Your next favorite place might be right outside your back door.
📲 Let's talk about your outdoor project!

Your front yard and backyard have two very different jobs.

Your front yard landscaping introduces your home.
Your backyard landscaping has to support your life.

One may need curb appeal, welcoming paths and year-round interest.
The other might need privacy, entertaining space, room for kids or dogs, shade and somewhere to relax.

They shouldn't necessarily be designed the same way.
But they should feel like they belong to the same property.

Want to know what makes a landscape feel high-end?

It usually isn't the most expensive grill.
It's cohesion.

The patio makes sense with the house.
The plants soften the hardscape.
There's privacy where you need it.
Lighting highlights the right things.
Materials repeat throughout the property.
Every area seems connected to the next.

That's what good luxury landscape design gets right.
It's less about adding more stuff and more about making everything feel intentional.

Patio First? Not So Fast.

Thinking about adding a patio? Start with the whole yard.
One of the easiest ways to make a landscape feel pieced together is to build one feature at a time without knowing where everything eventually belongs.
Patio here.
Fire pit there.
Walkway later.

Then three years from now you're wondering why none of it connects.

If you're searching for hardscape designers near me or hardscape contractors near me, consider starting with a complete landscape plan.

Build in phases if you need to.
Just know where you're going first.

The Fall Yard Test...Before your landscape goes dormant, take the Fall Yard Test. 🍂

Walk outside and ask:
Where did plants struggle this year?
Where did water collect?
Which part of the lawn was constantly fighting for survival?
Where was it too hot to sit?
What area did nobody use?
Where do you wish you had more privacy?
What annoyed you every single time you looked outside?

Don't forget those answers.
They're basically the beginning of next year's home landscape design.

Modern Doesn't Mean Cold...

Think modern landscape design means concrete, three plants and a chair nobody is allowed to sit in?

It doesn't have to. 😄

Modern landscape design can combine clean lines and intentional spaces with natural stone, ornamental grasses, Colorado-friendly plants, comfortable seating and warm outdoor lighting.

The architecture of the home and the landscape should feel like they belong together.

Modern can still be comfortable.
And your patio furniture is absolutely allowed to be sat on.

Your dog has probably already designed part of your backyard. 🐕

That path along the fence?
Designed by the dog.
The corner where nothing grows?
Dog.
The shady spot under the tree?
Definitely dog.

Instead of fighting those patterns, good backyard landscaping can work with them.

Durable pathways. Intentional turf. Shade. Drainage. Safe plants. Room to run.

A beautiful backyard should work for everyone who lives there—even the ones who occasionally dig holes in it.

No, Xeriscape Doesn't Mean Rocks Everywhere
Can we clear something up? 😄
Xeriscape does not have to mean:
🪨 Rock.
🪨 More rock.
🪨 One sad little plant.
🪨 Even more rock.

Water-wise Colorado landscaping can have color, texture, grasses, perennials, shade, hardscape—and yes, even some lawn.

The point isn't to eliminate everything green.
It's to create a landscape that makes sense for Colorado.

Quick question: How much of your yard do you actually use?

Not mow.
Not water.
Not look at through the window.
Actually use.

If the answer is “not much,” that's usually not a landscaping problem.
It's a landscape design problem.

Good residential landscape design starts with how you want to live outside—and creates the property around that.
Maybe you need shade.
A fire pit.
Room for the dogs.
A dining area.
Privacy.

Or simply somewhere you actually want to sit.
Your yard should earn its square footage. 😉
