Multi-Family Community in Downtown Denver

Multi-Family Landscaping


A multi-family community struggling with maintaining its landscape due to pet waste

Location

Lower Highlands Neighborhood

Summary

Landscape redesign and installation at a multi-family community in downtown Denver transformed turf areas into pet-friendly spaces with stone, mulch, native plants, enhanced greenery, and raised bed plantings.


Challenge

This multi-family community struggled with maintaining its landscape due to high pet traffic. Dog urine and waste consistently led to dead grass and damaged plants, diminishing the appearance and usability of shared spaces, creating ongoing maintenance challenges, and detracting from the overall appeal of the property.

Solution

Our team designed a pet-friendly landscape featuring a blend of stone, mulch, and hardy native plants that withstand intensive pet use. This renovation incorporated existing plantings and added new trees for shade and visual interest. Raised beds within courtyards and the pool area were refreshed with vibrant shrubs and colorful plants to further enhance the community’s green spaces. Completed within a tight timeline, the project minimized disruptions for residents while delivering immediate aesthetic and functional improvements.


We began with a comprehensive assessment of the landscape, identifying high pet-traffic zones and evaluating existing plants. Collaborating with the property management team, we developed a sustainable design that combined durability and visual appeal. To reduce maintenance needs, all turf areas were replaced with stone and mulch, complemented by robust native plants. New trees were added to bring shade and dimension, while existing plants were carefully incorporated into the new design. The team also revitalized raised beds around the courtyards and pool, adding colorful, hardy shrubs and plants to create inviting spaces.

After preparing the soil, we installed a new irrigation system to ensure optimal coverage for each area. Comprehensive final testing and walkthroughs with the management team ensured optimal condition of all elements, along with clear maintenance instructions provided for ongoing upkeep.

This project revitalized the shared spaces, enhancing resident satisfaction by creating a pet-friendly landscape that is both visually appealing and built to withstand high usage, while significantly reducing ongoing maintenance needs and costs.
