In-ground trampoline with artificial turf border provides gives both the kiddos and adults some exercise and fun. Raised beds for vegetables. Beautiful plantings throughout for seasonal color. Upper-level patio includes a hot tub with outdoor sauna. Cable railing for deck provides clean and uninterrupted views. A great way to enjoy the beauty of Colorado with lots of outdoor entertaining.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN REMODEL BROADMOOR AREA COLORADO SPRINGS-I designed this landscape design remodel for a backyard in the Broadmoor area of Colorado Springs. It includes a reconstruction of an existing retaining wall to add more functional space for an outdoor grill island, pergola and dining seating. Adding a 2nd level deck for a recessed hot tub and seating. The flagstone patio and fire pit make quite the entertaining space for the evening. The pondless waterfall add to the beauty and sounds of nature. Slide off the deck and zip lines for the kiddos between the trees and flagstone bridge over waterfall add enjoyment. The sloped landscape lends itself to natural elements. On a 1 acre, lot this backyard provides enjoyment for the family and their guests.

Beautiful new homes with small backyards. These homes are built quite close to neighbors on all sides. What to do about privacy? As with this client, living in Aurora, Colorado, I design landscapes that provide an oasis of greenery, color and privacy throughout all seasons. The proper selection of columnar trees and upright junipers that do not encroach on neighboring yards with a splash of spring blooming ornamental deciduous trees creates your own courtyard of color and privacy. A dabble of perennials for color and a few flowering shrubs brings the summer color with very low maintenance. Adding a built-in grill island for outdoor cooking this landscape is perfect for just the family or for entertaining. Designed by, Tanya Fisher, President of Colorado Vista Landscape Design, Inc.

The Watkins family hired me in 2019 to develop a landscape design for their new home in Windsor, Colorado. They loved it. They moved away and recently returned to Windsor in 2024 buying another new home. They again hired my services to develop their new backyard design. Although their new lot is smaller, they desire same outdoor entertaining space, functionality, privacy, and planting color but in a much smaller lot.
Privacy for new construction smaller lots can be challenging but can also lend to more intimate spaces by dividing the space into rooms with hardscape and thoughtful colorful planting.
Their new design includes a fireplace entertaining area, outdoor kitchen, private hot tub area, year-round colorful plantings and enough grass for their little pups.
Although I have moved my office to Colorado Springs I continue to enjoy working with my Northern Colorado clients remotely. Remote designing is a relatively new concept allowing me to continue to serve the Windsor, Denver and Castle Rock regions.
New construction backyards are a challenge with extreme grading/drainage requirements and the close proximity of neighbors. But with detailed thought, a good design, a small yard can be transformed into an enjoyable entertaining space with beautiful gardens offering reduced maintenance as compared to a larger landscape.

This is the first home I have transformed the landscaping since moving to Colorado Springs. Yes, it is my Mom's house where she loves gardening and playing with our dogs. She loves the front yard pergola where she sits in the morning and visits with neighbors. The pathways make it easy to get from front to back for us and our dogs. The new plantings are young and we look forward to watching them grow. The views from the backyard deck are beautiful. Professional landscape lighting has been installed to downlight the existing trees and uplight the new evergreen trees. Mom has spent every day in the yard and is so happy since the transformation. Her home built in 1967 and she has lived here since 1976 has brought her so much happiness with the new exterior painting and highlights. Looking forward to expanding work with homeowners in Colorado Springs.

Step one of transforming my Mom's house, begins with exterior painting, next lighting, address numbers and the big one landscape. No more red brick or red/brown trim. Although black/white is the trend I decided on a bit more subtle of grey/white. I believe it will outlast the trend and be a beautiful subtle color to the new landscaping being installed in the near future. When landscaping think about your exterior home colors and blend your landscape to compliment the entire outdoor space. Be back later with more photos!
