Frequently Asked Question
What does Down to Earth Landscaping specialize in?
Down to Earth Landscaping designs and builds outdoor living spaces across the Denver metro, with a focus on hardscaping, patios, and full design-build projects. The company started in 2012 doing general landscaping and has since narrowed its focus to the work where craftsmanship shows: paver and natural stone patios, fire features, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, and complete backyard transformations. That specialization is the reason the team has earned three ALCC awards for design and construction. Homeowners looking for a single contractor to handle design through installation are the best match for how the company works. You can review the full range on the services page.
What areas around Denver do you serve?
Down to Earth Landscaping serves the Denver metro and the surrounding south and west suburbs, including Englewood, Cherry Hills Village, Greenwood Village, Highlands Ranch, Centennial, Littleton, Lone Tree, Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Cherry Creek, Lakewood, Columbine, Ken Caryl, Applewood, Belcaro, and The Pinery. Projects stay within roughly a 45-minute radius of the Denver base so crews arrive on site early and finish the day on site. Staying regional keeps schedules predictable and lets the team return quickly if something needs attention after completion. The full list lives on the service areas page.
Do you handle both the design and the construction?
Down to Earth Landscaping is a design-build company, which means the same team creates your design and installs it. You work through a discovery call, an on-site consultation, and a 2D or 3D design before any construction contract is signed. Keeping design and build under one roof removes the gap where a designer hands off drawings and a separate contractor interprets them differently. It also means the person who measured your grade is the person accountable for how the finished patio drains. The full sequence is outlined on the process page.
How much does a backyard outdoor living project cost in the Denver area?
Most complete outdoor living projects in the Denver metro fall between $35,000 and $145,000 depending on square footage, materials, and how many features the space includes. A starter space at roughly $35,000 covers a paver or natural stone patio with grading, a small fire pit, and landscaping on a drip line. A median space near $65,000 adds a built-in fire pit, a seating wall, stairs, plantings, and a standard lighting package. High-end custom builds around $145,000 include large multi-level patios, an outdoor kitchen and bar, and a pavilion. Exact numbers come after the on-site consultation, and current ranges are published on the pricing page.
How long does an outdoor living project take to build?
Construction timelines run from one to two weeks for a starter outdoor living space up to four weeks or more for a large custom build. A median project with a patio, fire feature, seating wall, and lighting typically takes two to three weeks on site. Design and permitting happen before that window, so the full timeline from first call to finished space is longer than the construction schedule alone. Projects are scheduled after the install contract and deposit are in place. Completed builds with their scope and timelines are documented in the project portfolio.

Client Testimonials
“Jeff and Chuck are very knowledgeable and personable to work with. Their team is also well rounded and have the skills to get the job done. I would personally recommend them for any future landscape design project.”
“Chuck, Jeff, and the entire DTE Landscaping crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. Honestly, DTE Landscaping is how more businesses should be run. They built a large patio for us out of the space that was a dirty dog-run and it is a total yard transformation. We can’t stop talking about how stunning our patio and built-in wood fire pit is and what a great investment it is for our home and family. When I first met Chuck and Jeff in our early meetings, they really took the time to answer all of our questions and thoroughly review the space to see what the best options were for us to achieve our patio goal. The area was not completely level, so there was some discussion around this and these guys were super patient, realistic, and professional. We had a quote from another larger nation-wide hardscaping company, but I am so thankful we chose to work with DTE because their attention to detail was really notable and they made sure to check in with us about various elements of the work as the project was underway. They also worked on a weekend to keep on schedule and finish the project after they had to start a day later because of a March snow. It wouldn’t have bothered me one bit if it got delayed a few days, but they were committed! They are good guys and their team members are good guys too. Hands down I would recommend them. Not to mention they are a local company, one that I am happy to write a glowing review for :)”
“Chuck, Jeff and the entire team at Down to Earth Landscaping have completely outdone themselves with our home. We love it!!! They are so incredibly friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and willing to truly hear your needs. Upon walk-through, we received an estimate shortly thereafter, were easy to make change with, and did a beautiful job with our house. We cannot say enough good things – we plan to use them for future projects for our patio and completing phase 2 of our landscaping. You will not regret using Down to Earth Landscaping.”
“Still a satisfied customer! Last spring we hired them to do our landscaping on our new build in copper leaf. I had 4 other landscaping companies come out and give bids and proposed design. We went with Down to Earth we felt their ideas had the most creative ideas and aligned with our ideas the best! The exceeded our expectations! The were done on time, didn’t mess around! We have watched our neighbors go with a variety of other landscaping companies several of their yards look average and blah. Some of them have many dead trees and edging coming up. We are always saying to each other we are so glad we didn’t go with the other company! We are so glad we went with Down to Earth we are even having them now do our front yard!”
“DTE is one of the most creative and professional landscape companies in Denver. Their designs and use of functional space are top notch! They use only the best materials and install using the latest industry techniques and processes. Chuck and Jeff are very easy to work with and will listen and adapt to any of your needs. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“We have done several projects with DTE and every one of them has been a great experience. Their client relationships and communication are top notch. I would gladly recommend their landscaping services to anyone!”
Down to Earth Landscaping treated our project with the professionalism and dedication to quality I would associate with a major commercial contract, not a small residential one. Their staff was engaged, professional, responsive, detail oriented, design sensitive, and just a pleasure to work with. 5-stars without reservation.
