Location: Boulder, Colorado
Date Completed: 2015
Landscape Design: EVOKE

Tucked into a hillside setting, this garden trades conventional lawn for a living tapestry of texture and flowing form. A ribbon driveway, softened by a strip of green down the center, winds past sculptural blue conifers, dwarf pines, and aspens that turn gold in autumn. Near the house, a native stone courtyard gives way to soft, organic islands of creeping groundcover, with a small round reflecting pool set quietly among them. Pruned pines sit like living sculpture above carpets of blue blooms, and oversized boulder stepping stones drift through drifts of periwinkle and white flowers toward a custom steel gate. Every surface invites touch and every path encourages wandering, creating a garden that feels both modern and deeply at home in the Colorado landscape.
