Services We Specialize In

1. Landscape Fundamentals

No matter how simple or complex, every landscape needs to follow some basic fundamentals. Landscape fundamentals encompass the basic principles and elements essential for creating harmonious outdoor spaces. Understanding these basics allows us to create functional, visually appealing environments that complement the natural surroundings and fulfill the needs of the space and you. By integrating elements like focal points, balance, and proportion, our designers can achieve cohesive and inviting outdoor space that enhances the overall beauty and functionality of your property.

2. Xeriscaping

Xeriscaping is often misunderstood as just removing lawn and plants and spreading rock or gravel, but that isn’t right. Xeriscaping is about minimizing your turf area to an amount that you’ll actually use and enjoy, and selecting plants that are well suited to the Front Range, so that they are accustomed to our semi-arid climate, and only need minimal watering. A xeric landscape certainly doesn’t need to look boring or sparse.

3. Retaining Walls

Accent Landscapes specializes in designing and building attractive and functional retaining walls from a wide variety of materials. Colorado Springs and the Front Range region's homes have varied terrain, from relatively flat to steep and rugged. Many of the homes in these areas have sloped lots that may present design challenges. These challenges are also an opportunity to create a one of a kind landscape that fits your needs and is incredibly beautiful.

4. Patios & Walkways
