DESIGNED for COLORADO

A Landscape Design & Build Company IN Loveland, CO

Creative, Usable
Outdoor Space

Developing the perfect backyard area requires three things: a professional design sense, a broad knowledge of plant biology, and a practical approach to developing a functional and maintainable space. 

In other words, your landscape design should not only LOOK impressive and provide a relaxing space for you and guests, but it should also survive the hot, arid conditions of northern Colorado without costing you a fortune to keep up. 

Our team is uniquely experienced, trained and certified to build your landscape or hardscape to serve as a gorgeous expansion of your home where you can proudly entertain,  soak in beautiful weather, and even make the neighbors envious!

A Word from Our CLIENTS

Zach created a landscape design for our front and backyard. The design and quote were detailed and met our needs. During installation (zeroscape front, new sod in back, new irrigation, privacy screens and planting) Zach was great with communication and talked us through everything. His recommendations were spot on and we love it all. I would highly recommend using Oak & Stone.

Zach is extremely knowledgeable on everything trees, plants and irrigation systems. He is fantastic to work with because he takes the time to understand what your landscape goals are and what fits best with your existing setup. He is also cost conscious …. he carefully works with you to pick the best vegetation in consideration of your budget. His business practices are organized and professional regarding estimates, billing and change orders. He does much of the work himself (highly skilled in installing the plantings and adjusting the drip lines) so you need to get your estimate completed as soon as possible so you can fit into his in-demand schedule. Zach is a great guy and highly professional. I highly recommend Oak & Stone!!

a $2,000 WATER BILL?!

The stakes are high on design and build projects. When a project is installed incorrectly, it often has to be completely torn out and rebuilt to rectify the issues. We’ve been brought in to correct landscapes where stressed plants had died, irrigation systems failed, and patios sank. We’ve seen incorrectly installed irrigation systems flood basements, kill plants, wash out yards, and result in $2,000 water bills. There isn’t much that can be done to salvage these botched jobs. 

We strongly recommend working with a design and build company that is equipped to build the complex designs that they produce. Separating the designer from the builder frequently results in the scenario described above. Instead of saving money, you end up paying twice.

We stand behind our work with plant guarantees and product warranties. And if you need to reach us later with issues, we’ll be happy to come make the situation right. As a small, local company, we fully rely on our solid reputation to stay in business, so we remain committed to going the extra mile to delight our clients.
