Landscape Design & Installation in Colorado Springs, CO

Lot size, homeowner association requirements, and specific needs of the client are just a few of the many variables that impact the cost of a landscape installation. However, the average cost of a new construction, residential landscape design and installation is approximately 8-12% of the home purchase price. For example, a $750,000 home would cost between $60,000 and $90,000 for a complete landscape design and installation.

Fisk Lawnscapes has a $15,000 landscape installation minimum for all projects.

Most residential landscape installation projects are completed within 2-4 weeks. During the busy season we often book out 6-12 weeks, so it is a good idea to contact us well before closing or any other expected completion date.

A professional design will save you time and money as well as creating a landscape masterpiece that will last for years to come. In the same way that it’s hard to build a house without blueprints, it’s hard to install a landscape without a quality design. We consider many facets of a landscape as we design including: location of windows, drainage flows, shade, sun, and slopes, along with many other items. Additionally, most new home projects require a landscape design because it must be approved by an HOA.

Fisk Lawnscapes includes a three-year workmanship warranty. 

Our design team will work with you on all aspects of the project, though each project varies in scope and home owner desire for involvement. 

Typical design process includes concept sketches (which we utilize both hand drawn and computer drawn plans), final designs, visits to the nursery for plant selection, visits to our office or vendors for material selection, and multiple design consultations. Scaled planting and hardscape layouts, irrigation plans, 3D renderings and more are typical of our higher-end projects. 

Yes. We’ll secure any necessary building or irrigation permits and prepare detailed drawings for HOA submissions. Our team works with you and the HOA to ensure timely approval.

Absolutely. We assess and incorporate existing elements, such as hardscapes or trees, into your new design to save you money and preserve character. Often times when working with existing landscapes, there are more unknowns or limitations (such as irrigation, underground utilities, and site access) that we have to work around, which can increase cost. Preserving mature trees or historical elements of the home are worth that additional work. 

We provide guidance post‑installation—irrigation schedules, pruning tips, fertilization ranges, and seasonal cleanups to sustain long‑term health and appearance.

We prioritize native and drought‑tolerant plants well‑adapted to Colorado Springs’ elevations, soil, sun exposure, and water restrictions. This ensures performance and resilience through all seasons.

Planning for a landscape project should happen as soon as possible, even if your home is being built or even in the design phase! This allows us to give you the best experience, collaborate with the builder on layout, be more cost effective, and ensure that your vision is realized. Prime installation months are April - November, with the weather being variable to unworkable in the winter. These spots do fill quickly, so starting the design process sooner helps ensure the quickest and most ideal time for installation.

Certainly. We design and construct full-featured outdoor living spaces—including pools, pergolas, firepits, outdoor kitchens, walls, water features, outdoor furniture, and lighting—to extend your home’s footprint with style.

We typically ask for a signed agreement and deposit to get on the schedule, followed by progress-based payments, and a final balance upon completion. Exact terms are outlined before work begins.

For planted material, Fisk Lawnscapes offers a comprehensive one-year warranty. This warranty covers delivery, fertilizer, installation, drip emitter checks, haul away, and disposal. However, clients are responsible for the retail cost of any replacement plant materials. To ensure accurate plant evaluations, we conduct assessments upon request after June 15th, allowing time for late-emerging plants to fully develop. Please note that this warranty is valid only if bi-weekly winter watering has been consistently performed.
