From Dull to Dynamic: An Arvada Ranch Transformation


This ranch property evolved from a basic lawn into a pollinator paradise. Working with homeowners who are passionate beekeepers, we strategically removed sections of turf while preserving play areas for their pets. The design incorporated elevated berms that not only created visual interest but transformed the flat terrain into an engaging landscape.
The result? A vibrant ecosystem where carefully selected flowers support local pollinators, particularly the clients' honeybees. This sustainable design proves that ecological improvements can coexist with stunning aesthetics - the seasonal color displays have become the envy of the neighborhood while significantly increasing biodiversity and habitat value.
Key ecological improvements:
Reduced water consumption by replacing turf with drought-tolerant plants
Created pollinator habitat supporting native bees and honeybees
Increased plant diversity, replacing monoculture with varied species
Enhanced soil health through berming and proper plant selection
