Boulder Landscape and Design was a great company to work for our backyard redesign. Their designer was incredibly helpful in turning our ideas into a well thought out plan with multiple options that well exceeded our expectations. She then helped us to fit the project to our budget and oversaw the project from start to finish. The installers were professional and respectful of our property and we are very happy with the results!

BLD re-did our entire backyard, and fixed a drainage issue in our front yard. We worked with Catherine who transformed our vision into an amazing design. Once we decided to move forward, the whole process was straightforward, and the crew were extremely efficient and professional. I have absolutely no concerns or complaints. We are so happy with their work we plan to reach out to them to xeriscape our front yard.

Boulder Landscape and Design recently wrapped up a completely reworked backyard for us, including hardscaping and plantings. The design process was really creative and the customer service top notch. We now have a yard that meets my artistic needs as a photographer and my aesthetic with scent, color, and texture. Working with Catherine, my dreams for this back yard were exceeded! My husband and I finally have a yard that works for us and is an extension of our house! I cannot recommend Boulder Landscape and Design enough--if you want a lovely exterior and a fabulous working experience, they are your team!

When hiring BLD I was at a total loss on what to do with the landscaping of a property that we had recently purchased. BLD created a Master Design Plan aligning with our needs (low maintenance, many zones, designed for multi phase installation) and managed the execution of the design. Samantha, our designer, was great at problem solving and gave us an outdoor space that we love! The multi-phase design was a perfect solution for our large property, allowing us to implement the landscaping over the course of a few years.
The installation was great to watch. The site was tidy at the end of every day (I really appreciated this) and the crew was so polite. Shout-out to Chuy, who was our go-to guy for anything irrigation related. I will continue to use BLD for our landscaping needs and recommend them to friends and family.
