Horticulture & Landscape Services
Fire-resilient, water-wise, pollinator-friendly landscapes for Front Range homes.
Thriving Gardens. Minimal Water. Uncompromised Beauty
FireWise Horticulture Services helps homeowners design and maintain landscapes that thrive in Colorado’s climate. Through thoughtful plant selection, pruning, and long-term horticultural care, we create gardens that conserve water, support pollinators, and improve wildfire resilience.
Our work combines ecological plant knowledge with practical strategies for healthier, more sustainable landscapes suited to the Front Range.
Landscape Consultations
A landscape consultation is typically the first step in developing a thoughtful landscape plan. During an on-site visit, we walk the property together and discuss your goals for the space while evaluating plant health, site conditions, irrigation, and opportunities to improve the landscape over time.
Consultations provide practical, site-specific guidance to help your landscape become more resilient, water-efficient, and supportive of pollinators while maintaining beauty and long-term garden health.
Consultations may include:
• Property walk-through and landscape evaluation
• Plant recommendations suited to Colorado’s climate
• Ideas for improving seasonal color and structure
• Pollinator-supporting plant palettes
• Fire-resilient planting and defensible space strategies
• Irrigation and water-use recommendations
• Guidance for future landscape design or renovation
• Long-term horticultural care and maintenance planning
What Clients Receive After a Consultation
After the visit, clients receive an emailed summary outlining key observations and recommendations for their landscape. This document helps you move forward with a clear plan.
Some clients choose to complete the work themselves, while others continue working with FireWise Horticulture Services for additional guidance, plant selection, or ongoing horticultural care. In some cases, a contractor may also be involved to implement larger projects.
Many clients also schedule follow-up visits as their landscape evolves or as new questions arise.
Landscape Design & Planning
For homeowners planning a new landscape or considering significant changes to their existing garden, FireWise Horticulture Services provides landscape design guidance and planting plans tailored to your property and goals.
Most projects begin with a consultation, which helps clarify priorities, evaluate site conditions, and identify long-term possibilities for the landscape. From there, we can develop design concepts that balance beauty, water conservation, pollinator habitat, and wildfire resilience.
Detailed planting plans and scaled drawings can also be prepared.
Design services may include:
• Plant palette development tailored to your site conditions
• Layout guidance for planting beds and garden spaces
• Detailed planting plans
• Recommendations for water-wise and pollinator-supporting plants
• Strategies to improve wildfire resilience in the landscape
• Seasonal interest and long-term garden structure
• Phased planning for landscape improvements over time
Plans can be installed by homeowners, with a contractor, or FireWise Horticulture Services.
