Our Expertise

​Rooted in sustainability, built on integrity.

WHAT WE DO

From first conversation through final installation—and into the years that follow—Idlewild brings design, materials, construction, and landscape stewardship together as one cohesive experience. Every project begins with understanding how you want to live in the space, then develops with intention around your property, priorities, and the Colorado landscape.

LANDSCAPE DESIGN


Every landscape begins with understanding how you want to live in the space. Through a collaborative design process, we bring layout, materials, planting, and function together to create outdoor environments that feel intentional, personal, and connected to you and your home. Our designs are rooted in Colorado and shaped by the way you want to experience your outdoor space—whether that means creating places to gather and entertain, a wellness garden for restoration and retreat, or simply a deeper connection to the landscape around you. Sustainability is considered from the beginning. We prioritize climate-adapted and water-wise plantings, thoughtful plant communities, healthy soils, and efficient irrigation to create landscapes that use resources responsibly and are better equipped to thrive in Colorado’s climate. Dense, layered planting helps support soil health, conserve moisture, and create gardens that become richer and more established over time. Material selections are made with the same care, favoring natural, enduring, and locally sourced materials whenever appropriate. The result is a landscape designed not only for how it looks when completed, but for how it will live, grow, and mature beautifully for years to come.

LANDSCAPE CONSTRUCTION

We carry the design through with experienced craftsmanship and careful coordination, ensuring the original vision is reflected in every detail. From patios, pathways, and pergolas to outdoor kitchens, wellness spaces, and fire and water features, each element is thoughtfully built to create a cohesive landscape for everyday living. Behind what you see is an equally important network of landscape systems. Climate-adapted planting, efficient irrigation, drainage, lighting, soil preparation, and water-wise practices are considered together to support healthy growth, responsible water use, and long-term performance. The result is a landscape that not only feels beautiful when completed, but is designed to thrive in Colorado’s climate for years to come.

LANDSCAPE ENHANCEMENTS


Landscapes evolve, and the way you use them can evolve too. We enhance existing spaces through planting, lighting, gathering areas, pathways, water features, and other improvements that add beauty, function, and renewed purpose.

ESTATE MANAGEMENT

A well-designed landscape continues to evolve long after installation. Our estate management services provide ongoing stewardship of your property—protecting its health, performance, and original design intent as the landscape matures.

SEASONAL MAINTENANCE

Seasonal care keeps your landscape healthy, resilient, and ready for what comes next. From pruning and perennial care to seasonal cleanups and irrigation adjustments, our team responds to the needs of your landscape and Colorado’s changing seasons. We also replenish mulch and soil as needed and add nutrients to support healthy plant growth, improve soil conditions, conserve moisture, and give plantings what they need to thrive year after year.
