Dreaming of a New Landscape?
Watering a thirsty & tired looking lawn for lack of a better idea?
The Columbine Landscapes design team is here to help!
Our mission is to provide you with a landscape that is cost effective, functional, beautiful, and more ecologically friendly than all the watering and mowing that conventional lawns require. In addition to the pure joy of living alongside a fresh and natural landscape, an attractive, well-crafted landscape substantially increases the value of your home.
If you live in Durango or La Plata County, we can take your project all the way from initial consultation to detailed design and installation. Our experience in prioritizing the different phases of the entire project provides a seamless and stress-free installation through general planning, hardscaping, plant procurement and planting.
By spending 5% of the total value of your home on landscaping and doing it wisely, you can add 15% or more to the value of your home.

Our design process allows you to plan and visualize ideas before any work begins. You will benefit from a tailored design based on your unique site and personal preferences.
Whether you intend to install yourself, work with another contractor, or have your new landscape installed by the Columbine Landscapes installation team, a plan is vital to ensure successful results. With the completed design in hand, you’ll know exactly which trees, shrubs, perennials and hardscape elements to put where… no more guessing at the nursery or money wasted on the wrong plants.
