Waterscapes, hardscapes, irrigation, fire mitigation, seasonal care, snow removal, and commercial grounds management -- all under one employee-owned company in Durango.
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. Each service complements the others, so your property gets built and cared for as a whole, not as a collection of disconnected projects.
You can start with one service and build from there. Or bring us the whole property from day one. Either way, the process is the same: a site walk, a written proposal, and a crew that knows the site from start to finish.
Custom ponds, streams, waterfalls, and recirculating systems. Designed and built to hold through Colorado’s winters. We plan, install, and maintain every system we put in the ground.
Natural stone patios, retaining walls, stairways, and paths. Deep base work, proper drainage, and materials that hold up through freeze cycles. Built to last, not to look good on the day it is finished.
System design, installation, repair, spring startup, and fall winterization. Water where it is needed, out of the lines before frost.
Fuel reduction built to Colorado State Forest Service Home Ignition Zone standards. Mitigation that integrates with your landscape rather than replacing it with bare ground.
Water-wise design for Southwest Colorado: native and adapted planting, drip conversion, hydrozoning, and turf reduction. A landscape designed for the climate it actually lives in.
Spring reset, in-season maintenance, fall cleanup, and winter property checks. Same crew all year, who already knows every edge of the property.
Residential and commercial plowing, walkway and entry clearing, and de-icing on set routes. Contracted before the season, not scrambled during a storm.
Landscape construction and contracted grounds care for resorts, HOAs, businesses, and institutions. One contractor, one contract, one point of contact for the whole site.
We walk the property with you. Terrain, access, existing systems, and any problem areas before we discuss scope or price.
Materials, references, sequence, and timeline. You see the full picture before you commit.
Our own crew: earthwork, water, stone, planting. No subcontracted builds. Clean job sites.
Winterization, startup, system checks. Most build clients stay on a maintenance schedule.
No pressure, no obligation. We will tell you what is realistic for your budget and put a number in writing.
