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.

“If you need anything re landscaping, the DTE guys are the ones to do it. We have known Chuck and Jeff for years now, when they started mowing and maintaining our lawn and sprinklers. Both gents are professional, trustworthy and very customer-service oriented. They recently completed a patio job for us and we couldn’t be happier. From the initial consultation with Chuck, to the final power-washing clean up of our driveway with their team, it was a dream to work with them. Of course we never doubted the outcome of the experience, but the completion of our last project confirmed: fairness in price, great communication between customer and DTL team, quality craftsmanship, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Thanks guys-we will never go anywhere else!”
