DENVER - s4story -- Phase One Landscapes, a leader in landscape architecture, design, and construction, today announced its expanded focus on fully custom Denver xeriscaping and waterwise gardens. This initiative empowers homeowners across the Greater Denver Metro area and Colorado Front Range to create stunning, sustainable outdoor living spaces tailored to the region's semi-arid climate, moving beyond traditional, high-maintenance turf landscapes. With a single in-house team managing every step from concept to completion, Phase One Landscapes offers a seamless, high-end design-build experience for those seeking to enhance their property value and lifestyle.

For decades, many homeowners have faced the challenge of maintaining traditional turf in Colorado's intense sun, dry air, and variable precipitation, leading to high water bills and stressed landscapes. Phase One Landscapes addresses this directly by demonstrating that professionally designed Denver xeriscaping is far more than a gravel lot; it's a lively, layered, and seasonally colorful garden built specifically to thrive in the local environment. This approach aligns with the growing desire for sustainable living while extending the home's usable space into a resilient, beautiful garden.

"We believe a professionally designed xeriscape is an opportunity to create a truly bespoke outdoor living space, perfectly suited to Colorado's unique climate and our clients' lifestyles," said Dave Graham, Owner and Founder. "It's about crafting beauty and function that endures, not sacrificing aesthetics for sustainability. Our integrated design-build process ensures every detail reflects the homeowner's vision and performs beautifully year after year."

Phase One Landscapes brings 35 years of experience to every waterwise garden project, ensuring quality, creativity, and efficient workmanship. Their complete approach to Denver xeriscaping and waterwise gardens includes:

• Site-specific planting design: Using climate-adapted native and drought-tolerant species that bloom in sequence from spring through fall.
• Hydrozoned drip irrigation systems: With smart controllers that deliver water precisely where needed, reducing waste.
• Integrated hardscape elements: Including decomposed granite pathways, flagstone, and patios that extend usable outdoor areas.
• Soil amendment and preparation: To support root establishment in Denver's clay-heavy soils.
• Mulching plans: Tailored to planting beds and sun exposure, reducing evaporation and suppressing weeds.
• Fire features and low-voltage lighting: Integrated into the overall composition to carry the space into the evening.
• Practical turf reduction: Combined with thoughtful lawn panel design where turf still serves a specific purpose.

Each project is drawn from scratch, reflecting how the homeowner actually lives and ensuring the finished environment feels cohesive, premium, and built to last. Phase One Landscapes has been recognized with 17 awards from the Associated Landscape Contractors of Colorado Excellence in Landscape Awards since 1987, including 4 Grand Awards, and has had 21 gardens and projects featured by the Colorado Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects.
