Connie Ellefson, principal author of Xeriscape Colorado:  The Complete Guide is available for landscape consulting.

Sunset Magazine Xeriscape Colorado called Xeriscape Colorado “the best of its kind” (September 2004).   Dedicated to the DIY home landscaper; many have called it their “gardening Bible.”  Unfortunately, it’s currently out of print, but many libraries have copies.

“Please Don’t Make Me DIY!”

If you’d rather just look at the pretty pictures than hammer out the plan for your Xeriscape landscape, Connie Ellefson is available for Xeriscape consultation, and complete design.  Ellefson has prepared scores of residential and commercial landscape designs for Colorado clients, and was a designer for the Denver Water Xeriscape Design Clinics for several years. “I offer consultations at $100/hour, or complete plans can be prepared for either a section of the yard to the complete site.”

(Prices for plans vary depending on size of lot and complexity of landscape. – Free initial consultation for landscape plans.)  The plan will be ready to submit to your HOA if required.

What’s Xeriscape? 

In 1981, a tiny, devoted group of landscape conservationists gathered to brainstorm a new and better way to approach the landscape in semi-arid Colorado, than the typical “cookie-cutter East Coast tree-and-turf.”  Xeriscape (dry landscape) was born, and has expanded and flourished in the thirty-plus years since.  Xeriscape landscape can be found in nearly all parts of the country; water supplies show no sign of becoming more plentiful as the 21st century advances.
