Exterior Design and Landscaping
Accent Landscapes is a full service landscape design/build company serving Colorado Springs, the Pikes Peak region, and areas along the Front Range. We specialize in designing and creating beautiful, unique, and functional landscapes and outdoor living areas. If you can dream it, we can create it. Outdoor living features are some of our favorites, and include patios, decks, pergolas, courtyards, built in seating benches, outdoor kitchens, outdoor fire pits, and outdoor fireplaces. We also excel at all traditional landscape features, including water features, outdoor lighting, retaining walls, garden paths, sprinkler systems, turf, native grasses, planting beds, gardening areas, erosion control, artificial turf, xeriscapes, and more.
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.
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.
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.
Patios are the foundation of any outdoor living space, and can be designed to any shape, size, or finish to suit any need and style. There are a variety of materials that can be used for patios including paver stones, natural flagstones and colored concrete.
Adding a fire feature dramatically extends the usably of your outdoor living space. Adding light, movement, and heat to your patio, it provides a natural gathering spot. Whether entertaining or enjoying a quiet mug of hot cocoa on a cool evening, it's sure to be a welcome addition to your landscape.
Are you a year round grill master? Do you love throwing big barbeques? An outdoor kitchen is an excellent way to equip your backyard for entertaining and feeding hungry friends and family. Outdoor kitchens continue to be one of the most requested and popular features to include in an outdoor living space. A wonderful addition to any outdoor space, they bring both function and a strong architectural element to any space.
An outdoor fireplace serves as a natural gathering point, adding the light, movement, and warm of fire. It's sure to serve as a striking focal point in any outdoor living area.
Adding a pergola, pavilion or gazebo to to your landscape can significantly enhance its functionality and aesthetic appeal. These structures provide shaded outdoor spaces for relaxation, dining, or entertainment, allowing you to enjoy your garden or backyard even during hot weather or light rain. Additionally, pergolas and pavilions create architectural interest and define outdoor living areas, adding character and charm to your outdoor space.

Looking to replace, redesign, or add a deck to your home? Accent Landscapes can design and build the deck that fits your home and outdoor space perfectly.
A water feature can be a delightful addition to a landscape. Water features add an element of both sound and movement to your outdoor space. This provides many benefits. A water feature can serve as a stunning focal point, and the sound of moving water has a peaceful effect. The sound of babbling water can be calming, and serves to reduce noise pollution from nearby traffic. They can also be designed as a habitat for koi or aquatic plants for water gardeners. A water feature can help to create the perfect space to relax and unwind. Water features can be integrated into any size landscape project, and will provide lasting value and enjoyment.
Looking for the aesthetics of a nice green lawn without all the work? Artificial turf is extremely durable and long lasting. You can forget the lawn mower, and feel good knowing you've eliminated a large amount of water usage, fertilizers, and chemical pesticides and herbicides.
