Common Roots Colorado, sustainable yardscaping and design

YARDSCAPING

Did we just say “yardscaping”? YES. Yes we did.

Rather than supporting chemically-treated, water-wasted lawns, Common Roots yardscape design pays close attention to native plants, to our wonderful pollinators, to sustainable year-round visual interest, to perennial food sources, and to creative water reuse systems (conserving what is nature-given & to lower water bills). We work the soil organically (100% pesticide-free) supporting a safer, more abundant ecosystem.

This flagstone patio installation with native plants and diverse drought tolerant species will give the client so much more outdoor interest, space for seating, while supporting a thriving backyard ecosystem.

Perennials like sage anchor this entry path, with shorter violets and annual pansies to bring lasting beauty added in front. Water wise drip irrigation keeps this client’s utility bill low.

A basic paver pad installation surrounded by native plants to let this client spend more time enjoying their yard and less time weeding.

This paver patio was built with a compacted breeze surround, locking in the installation while stabilizing the project for seating and outdoor season extension around the fire.

DESIGN

Like we said before, our yardscaping principles focus on organic sustainability. Here are a few design examples from past projects with our wonderful clients.

Before and after of a front yard tidy up to help the homeowner get a clearer vision for the upcoming design of a native focused habitat.

This front yard needed easy maintenance and we delivered! Deep mulch helps hold on to moisture fed from drip irrigation on a timer. Barberry, Sage, Fax, Coneflower, and Apache Plume are balanced with resilient Iris, Lily, Rose, Penstemon, and Partridge feather.
