You know a garden has truly become a habitat when you can hear the wildlife all around you. If you sit in your garden and you don't hear birds and bees, and see butterflies, there is still work to be done. An apartment balcony. A townhouse backyard. A house in town with a good size yard. Or, even a farm in the country. You can join the thousands of people across the country who have already made the commitment to restoring wildlife habitat, one yard and garden at a time with sustainable landscaping practices.
The goal is simple. Provide food, water, cover and a place for birds to raise their young. Contact Wild by Design, one of the forerunners and the premeire wildlife habitat landscape designer in Colorado. Building enjoyable outdoor living environments and sustainable wildlife habitat is not difficult, but it does take a plan and the skills to build for our climate and native wildlife.

Every successful wildlife garden habitat begins with an assessment of your existing garden and yard.
Once we know what's there, we can advise you on what you need and design a plan to create a successful sustainable landscape design and wildlife garden habitat that will be worthy of NWF certification and fit your budget.
Then, we'll manage the construction of your landscaping to assure that every detail of the design is finished to specification.
Design costs are billed at $50.00/hr.
If you choose to have our team build your landscaping, then the design costs are rebated to you and credited against the overall projects costs.

Everyone needs to eat! Planting native forbs, shrubs and trees is the easiest way to provide the foliage, nectar, pollen, berries, seeds and nuts that many species of wildlife require to survive and thrive.
You can also incorporate supplemental feeders and food sources.
Once you have provided these essential elements to make a healthy and sustainable landscape design and wildlife habitat, join the thousands of wildlife enthusiasts across the country who have earned the distinction of being part of NWF's Certified Wildlife Habitat program.

Our wildlife garden habitat in full summer bloom.
Every year we see at least two hatchings of Sparrows and a variety of Finches.
Swallowtails lay eggs on the dill and the caterpillars grow into beautiful butterflies.
Our flowers are covered with Honey, Bumble, Miner, and many other native bees daily.
All in all, it's feast for our garden friends.
After fall, our butterflies crawl into the leaf matter left in the garden and wait out the cold of winter.
Just like us, they're ready for the first warm days of spring to begin their cycle once again.

Boulder - Many people "think from the top up" when they landscape, says Larry Elmore, business manager at Wild by Design landscapers in Lyons.
You should really work from the bottom up, he says.
Home on the Range - Amid barren lawns in the foothills of the Rockies, a Colorado couple cultivates an oasis.
Washington, D.C. - The mid-June temperatures along Colorado's Front Range are pushing into the 90s.
Cloudless skies on afternoons like this are merciless, with an eerie quiet punctuated only by the distant drone of mowers and sprinklers repeating an endless cycle: crew-cutting expansive, barren lawns, only to water them all over again: Tic-tic-tic, tschhh.
