The Challenge: When the owners of this Longmont home moved into their new build, they were literally starting their landscape from scratch: a dirt lot with nothing to screen the small backyard from the neighbors. Image courtesy of Tilly Project 1: A Private Oasis in Longmont A Longmont backyard designed to maximize every inch of its small square footage-and every drop of irrigation water. No matter your outdoor space or style, there’s a water-wise option here for you. The properties here range from tight city lots to roomy plots, but each one includes design features and plant varieties well-suited to the metro area’s increasingly warm and dry climate. Some homeowners handled parts of the installation themselves, but most hired local pros to do the heavy lifting. Then, they chose from one of three design packages-which range in price from $375 to $2,200, depending on yard size and selected add-ons-which provided them with a customized plan, plant list, and installation and care instructions. (One of the company’s four female founders, Alexis Sutton, calls Denver home.)įor each of the projects highlighted below, the homeowners began by talking with a dedicated Tilly designer about their wish list and design vision.
For these, we turned to Tilly, an online platform that designs custom landscapes for homeowners across the country-for less than a traditional landscape architect or designer might charge. There’s a wealth of information available to help you tailor a water-wise design to your needs-online and in many metro-area garden centers, where employees are eager to share their expertise-but we thought we’d take the easy route by sharing some ready-made plans that have already been implemented by local homeowners.
