The below styles help guide your vision. We also work to keep things simple with 4 tiers of options:
Turnkey, Essential, Signature, and Enhanced

Mountain Rustic:
Use natives like blue spruce, aspen, and columbines to create a mountain cabin feel even in urban settings. This will take plenty of water, though, so be sure to explain the difference between “native” and actually adapted to clients.

Prairie Cottage:
Combine ornamental grasses, coneflowers, and penstemons for a meadow-inspired cottage garden.

Modern Minimalist:
Create clean lines with architectural plants like yucca, blue grama grass, and rabbitbrush.

Southwest Desert:
Use drought-tolerant natives like Canyon plume (Fallugia paradoxa), sage (Salvia and Artemisia species), and cacti for a desert-inspired look.

Formal Native Garden:
Garden formality is determined by planting patterns and maintenance, rather than by plant origin. Use shearable shrubs like Chamaebatiaria millefolium, Cercorcarpus, and Forestiera neomexicana to make hedges.
Essential → smart / efficient
Signature → dramatic / balanced / most popular
Enhanced → premium / luxury / destination Coloradoscape
