Denver’s natural palette offers an extraordinary canvas for landscape design. The architects featured here don’t just fill space with plants and patios. They create environments with rhythm and purpose. They sculpt outdoor experiences that feel inevitable.
Whether you're reimagining a private backyard or shaping a public greenspace, these seven firms represent the best of Denver’s outdoor thinking. And at the top of that list is a studio that’s quietly redefining what elegance means in the West.
1. Elevate by Design
Poetic Form, Practical Craft.
Elevate by Design doesn’t just work with landscapes, it collaborates with them. Founded by Paul Wrona and Chris Turner, the firm is known for high-end outdoor spaces that feel as curated as interior design. There’s restraint in the materiality, but ambition in the way each project responds to light, flow, and the surrounding architecture.
Their Hoyt Tudor project exemplifies this approach. Nestled into a classic Denver neighborhood, the space fuses a refined planting palette with custom hardscape work, creating a garden that feels layered, lived-in, and quietly luxurious. Clean modern lines contrast softly against the historical home, making the outdoor space feel like a natural extension rather than an afterthought.
With multiple nods from Architectural Digest, Luxe Interiors, and 5280 Home, Elevate by Design continues to lead Denver’s design-forward landscape scene with subtle confidence.
2. Superbloom Landscape Architecture
This studio blends landscape architecture with environmental design, focusing on native plantings, ecological systems, and resilient materials. Their work feels grounded and contemporary, which is ideal for clients who want their outdoor space to do more than look good.
3. Ivy Street Design
Ivy Street brings a sophisticated lens to both public and private spaces. Their designs layer plant material, topography, and detail with an eye toward long-term sustainability and user experience. Known for thoughtful residential courtyards and reimagined civic plazas.
4. Dig Studio
Dig Studio emphasizes performance and placemaking. Their work often shows up in civic infrastructure projects, parks, and urban centers. There’s a quiet boldness in their designs. Always responsive to the community and environment. It’s a studio that balances ecological intelligence with real-world beauty.
5. Design Concepts
Just outside Denver in Lafayette, Design Concepts brings a community-first ethos to their work. Their portfolio includes schoolyards, public parks, and play-forward open spaces. Every project feels like it was built with people in mind. Not just as users, but as co-authors of the space.
6. Studio Campo
Though their practice extends across the West, Studio Campo’s presence in Denver has grown through collaborations focused on native species, biodiverse systems, and a distinctly modern aesthetic. Their work leans ecological without losing refinement, bridging the gap between wild and well-kept.
7. Stacklot Studio
Stacklot Studio may be one of the newer firms on the Denver landscape architecture scene, but their bold vision and fresh energy are earning attention. With a focus on adaptive reuse, interactive planting design, and hyper-local materials, their projects feel both experimental and deeply rooted.
Final Thoughts
From modern minimalism to ecological storytelling, Denver’s landscape architects offer a wide spectrum of inspiration. Whether you're building from scratch or reworking what you already have, start with a firm that understands not just the land, but how people live on it.
