━ OUR STORY

Built on 30 Years of Experience, Rooted in Durango

Advance Designs was founded in 1993 and has been based in Durango, Colorado since 2008. We design, build, and care for outdoor spaces across La Plata County — from custom ponds and stone patios to irrigation systems, fire mitigation, seasonal cleanups, and snow removal.

We are proudly employee-owned. That means the people working on your property have a personal stake in the company’s long-term success, not just in finishing the job and moving on. You get a team that treats every project like it matters, because to us it genuinely does.

We work with properties and budgets of all kinds. Whether you are planning a major waterscape or waterfall feature, putting in a flagstone patio, or looking for reliable seasonal care, we will tell you plainly what is realistic and put a number in writing before you commit to anything.

━ What We Build

Services We Offer

At Advance Designs, landscaping goes far beyond any single service. We create and care for complete outdoor environments, combining landscape installation, waterscapes, hardscapes, irrigation, fire mitigation, and year-round property care under one employee-owned company.

Waterscapes

Custom ponds, streams, waterfalls, and recirculating water systems designed and built to hold through Colorado’s winters. We plan, install, and maintain every system we put in the ground.

Hardscaping and Patios

Natural stone patios, retaining walls, stairways, and paths. What separates a patio that lasts twenty winters from one that heaves in two is the base work — and that is where the real work happens.

Irrigation Systems

System design, installation, repair, spring startup, and fall winterization. Water delivered efficiently, lines fully cleared before the first freeze.

Fire Mitigation and Defensible Space

Fuel reduction around your structure, built to Colorado State Forest Service Home Ignition Zone standards. We integrate it into the landscape rather than stripping the yard bare.

Xeriscaping

Water-wise design using native and adapted planting, drip conversion, and turf reduction. A landscape that holds up in a drought year and looks intentional doing it.

Seasonal Cleanups and Property Care

Spring reset, in-season maintenance, fall cleanup, and winter property checks. The same crew all year, so nobody arrives in April needing the site explained to them.

Snow Removal

Residential and commercial plowing, walkway clearing, and de-icing on contracted routes. Booked before the season, not during the storm.
