Inviting modern space in Stapleton

Outdoor spaces are wonderful for gathering, relaxing, reflecting and dining. This modern space in the Stapleton neighborhood of Denver intergrates the architecture of the home, its clean lines and acute angles help the area become an extension of the home. The custom wood and metal screen adds privacy and sets off the space with its contemporary look. The decorative concrete wall with Ipe bench is a perfect place to gather around the fire pit to rest, recharge and converse with family and friends after a long day.

Raised Strip Stone Annual Planter & Water Feature

Raised planters are a perfect addition to any landscape, they add vertical interest, help define the space and can even act as extra seating. The raised planter in this central Denver landscape was constructed using Arizona Buff strip stone with thick capstone on top. We also placed a Camapnia Girona water feature that is simple yet elegant visualy, it also adds the soothing ambiance of trickling water to the space. We then topped it all of by adding in a mix of annuals surrounding the water feature, some LED lighting and whala a beautiful raised planter for your enjoyment.

Lush Dimenional Stepper Pathway

Pathways help create interest in the landscape as well as creating physical links between one part of the landscape to the other. The pathway in this Denver landscape was made using dimensional flagstone steppers that create a sinuous passageway through the lush plantings and into the yard beyond. The custom iron pergola with entry gate makes the path through this side yard inviting and the Hydrangea tree acts as a focal point that draws you into the space. The lush plantings of Hosta, Cranesbill and Iris give the path visual texture and the LED lighting adds a subtle glow not only to the path but to landscape as well.

The paver patio adds interest to the area with a blend of colors and the strip stone walls that make up the raised planter can also be used for extra seating. The hand carved Travertine water feature not only looks unique but also adds a nice sense of tranquility with the sound of the water splashing off the rocks below. We added in some low voltage LED lighting so you can enjoy the space not only during the day but at night as well.

Mile High Landscaping Custom Built Wall Fountain

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwrKWJXQJrM

This masterpiece of a water fountain was custom made for our client. The back of the house faces a busy street and we wanted to do something special to screen out the traffic and create some privacy for our clients to relax and enjoy their outdoor living space. The rustic and elegant design for the wall thought to create a private nook with small arched windows to let light into the space and create interest beyond the wall. A simple but elegant fountain has water falling out of a copper pipe into a basin that cascades down into a larger fluted basin where water trickles out to a patio level pool. The water falling creates an orchestra of relaxing bubbling sound. The browns and tans of the background tile contrast in color and texture with the strong balance of the stucco wall. As mists of water coats the flagstone patio, a shiny sheen appears and gives the flagstone a golden color. Glazed ceramic garden pots from Creative Living give life to plants and add smooth shapes to the corner making for a balanced view.

Cozy Up By The Outdoor Fire Pit and Enjoy The Scenery

[photo credit: Mark Woolcott Photography]

This is a landscape project Mile High Landscaping installed and jumped at the opportunity to work with local Landscape Architects at Elevate by Designs. The project aligned with Mile High’s landscape style and we enjoyed installing this modern contemporary outdoor living space. The modern arbor was built out of steel beams and gives the space a strong anchor point for the family dining area with rustic wooden patio furniture. The space was divided up and a separate area was created for family and guests to relax by the cozy natural gas fire pit. The crushed glass reflects the warmth of the flames and adds additional sparkles. The high concrete and stuccoed seat wall lets visitors sit and enjoy conversation on the exotic tiger-wood bench. Elements of nature were brought in closer by adding large decorative landscape boulders that give extra texture and natural color to this modern patio. The yard offers plenty of greenery and privacy from nearby neighbors. Simply a fantastic space to relax, have a cook out and enjoy family and friends.
