To further education the community about the beauty and benefits of a ColoradoScape, Castle Rock Water gave away an $8,000 front yard landscape makeover summer 2019.
The Schuman Family won! And, are now enjoying a yard with low-water use plants that provide vibrancy and color with seasonal interest!
Look here and to social media for your chance to win a ColoradoScape next year!
Before: The yard consisted of water-guzzling Kentucky bluegrass that was browning in areas and proved to be overwhelming with mowing and weeding (and watering.)
After: Good yard design has elements that work together. Large boulders ground the yard and break up the rocked area. A spattering of smaller boulders with plants make the rocked area look natural and not overwhelming. The mulched area has a mix of evergreen plants, plus various flowers and shrubs that provide color and texture during each season. This first year, the plants are small and have room to grow.
Here a few tips to consider when designing your low-water ColoradoScape
