In Their Words
“From the moment I began working with Aquila Landscapes, I knew I had found a great design partner. I appreciated that they truly listened to my preferences and concerns and spent time walking the space with me to ensure they got it right. We gave them a tall order of expanding our current patio and incorporating an outdoor kitchen, built in hot tub and firepit along with plenty of grass and seamlessly connected beds in a calming and classic color palette.
They absolutely delivered.”
Kelly, Adams Residence
Like the eagle we're named for, we begin every landscape design project with perspective. We observe, we listen, we take in the whole landscape before we act. This patient, thoughtful approach informs everything we do, from initial design concepts to final construction.
We believe great outdoor spaces are built on trust and collaboration. Our creativity becomes a compass that guides us toward landscape solutions that are both beautiful and functional. An eagle's eye for detail means nothing gets overlooked, and we take responsibility for seeing every project through with care and precision.
We see the big picture, then we swoop in and execute. We deliver personal, thoughtful landscape design and build services throughout the Denver metro area for residential and small commercial properties you'll be excited to inhabit and watch evolve year round.
About Us
We Are Dreamers & Doers
Our Process
From First Conversation To Final Detail
Each one of our landscaping projects starts with listening to you, the space, and how you live. What follows is careful planning, skilled hands, and the kinds of attention that turns good ideas into outdoor spaces that last.
-
We start by walking your outdoor space together and asking questions. How do you imagine using this space? What's frustrating you about it right now?
We're looking at practical things too: where water pools after rain, which areas get blasted by afternoon sun, and how Colorado's clay soil is affecting what grows (or doesn't).
-
We take what we learned and sketch out ideas specific to your space and how you'll actually use it. You'll see a landscape plan, plants that thrive in our Front Range climate, and material choices that fit your style and budget.
No two yards are the same, and we don't pretend they are. Your design reflects your space's specific conditions and how you'll actually live in it.
-
We show you the design, walk through our thinking, and then listen. What feels right? What doesn't quite fit? We refine the plan together, usually through one or two rounds, until it clicks.
This back-and-forth is where good design becomes great design. We bring expertise about what works in Colorado; you bring the vision of how you want to live outside. Together we land on something that truly fits.
-
Our team brings the design to life, managing every detail from permits to plantings. We keep you updated throughout construction, adapt when surprises come up, and ensure quality at every step.
This is the design build advantage: the people who dreamed up your patio with you are the same ones building it for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Clients Ask Us
-
We serve a number of our Denver Metro Area communities, including: Denver, Lakewood, Arvada, Westminster, Littleton, Centennial, Highlands Ranch, and Golden.
We keep our range intentional so we can show up when you need us and provide attentive service throughout your project.
-
Design & build means one team handles both your landscape design and construction from start to finish.
Instead of coordinating between a designer and separate contractor, you work with us through the entire process, from initial consultation to installation.
This integrated process means better communication, clear accountability, and we can adapt as we go when your yard surprises us.
-
Most of our Denver landscape projects range from $5000 to $50,000, with smaller, focused installations starting around $15,000.
Costs depend on hardscaping elements, site challenges like clay soil or drainage issues, and project scope.
We're transparent about pricing from the start and work within your budget to prioritize what matters most.
-
From first conversation to completion, most projects take 4-10 weeks.
Design requires 2-6 weeks, construction 1-4 weeks depending on scope. Colorado’s weather is our biggest variable.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated if anything shifts during construction.
-
As involved as you want to be! This is your outdoor space, and we're here to guide you, not dictate.
You make the big decisions of how you'll use the space, style preferences, budget priorities. Then we handle the technical details.
You can expect one initial design presentation and 1-2 revision rounds.
Some clients know exactly what they want and we make it happen while others need us to bring ideas and explore possibilities together. Either way works perfectly because we adapt our collaboration style to what works best for you.
-
Start planning 1-3 months before you want construction to begin.
Spring construction (April-June) gives plants a full growing season but weather can delay starts.
Fall (September-October) offers stable conditions and we're often less booked.
-
Absolutely. Water-wise landscape design is essential in Colorado, and it's something we’re passionate about.
We use native and adaptive plants, efficient drip irrigation, soil improvements, and strategic hardscaping to create lush, beautiful spaces that thrive with minimal water.
Expect 30-50% lower water bills, less maintenance, and healthier plants that actually work with Colorado's climate.
-
Surprises happen. When they do, we pause, contact you immediately with honest options and cost implications, then get your approval before proceeding.
Small adjustments we often absorb; significant changes are documented in writing.
We budget for contingencies upfront and maintain open communication so we handle surprises together, practically and honestly.
