Your Living-Scape Craftsmen

We have been creating landscapes in the Denver metro area for over 20 years. Our team of professionals has over four decades of experience with Denver and Colorado landscapes.
Our crews are specialists in all aspects of landscape construction. Stonework, concrete, irrigation, planting, grading – you name it. If it’s something we don’t do, like electrical or gas piping, we work with our network of licensed craftsmen for those specialties.
We are fully licensed and insured in all aspects of landscape work.

Arturo Rendon

Founder/ Owner

Arturo’s journey in the landscape construction industry spans over 35 years, and he’s now the proud owner of Outdoor Design Colorado. His career began in New Mexico, where he developed his expertise in hardscaping and landscape design, mastering techniques that set him apart in the industry.

After relocating to Colorado, Arturo worked with some of the state’s most recognized construction companies. In these roles, he rose to management positions, gaining extensive experience overseeing large construction projects. Though he briefly stepped away from the landscape construction industry to expand his knowledge in general construction, his passion for creating beautiful outdoor spaces never faded.

Determined to return to his roots, Arturo founded Outdoor Design Colorado with a mission to offer customized, high-quality outdoor living solutions. His ability to take on complex projects and his drive to build anything from the ground up have made him a standout in the industry.
