RLD 2026 Availability

Hi! We’d love to help you create a humming habitat.

We are full for 2026 clients at this point, with some exceptions. You can read more below. We tend to fill up before spring of every year. This is why RLD has an apprenticeship program; demand is currently higher than supply for knowledgeable ecological landscapers in the Denver area.

We don’t want to leave you high and dry. Check out this list of other ecological landscapers in Colorado, or get on our waitlist! Here are some ways that RLD can still offer support this year:

For clients who want a full package of help with design, planning, and installation/labor:

—If you’d like to get on our waitlist, we can do a site visit in late summer or fall and work on your design and planning process in fall/winter of 2026-2027.

—-We MAY be able to help you with a small install phase in fall, if one of our existing clients cancels or postpones their install. Or, if you have a simple “first stage” of your project that you want to DIY, we can deliver wholesale plants and materials this fall, and connect you with independent garden helpers for hire.

—Otherwise, we can commit to helping you with the full installation/planting in 2027.

—You can learn more about typical services and costs here.

—You get to skip to the head of our waitlist if you:

—represent a public/community space (school, HOA, etc);
—want a crevice garden this year, and are willing to wait for any other design services relevant to the rest of your property;
—only want a site visit or paid 1-hour consultation call right now, and are willing to pay for a second site visit later when we have the bandwidth to start your full design process.
—In these situations, we can likely start the onboarding process sooner (summer) and we may be able to do some limited design and/or install work this year. Send Eryn an email.

For DIY clients looking for plants and some consultation/guidance, but not full design and install:

This is why Eryn wrote a digital DIY guide and started the “Garden In A Truck” program! We want to get you the help you need to take your project forward on your own.

—The DIY Guide, which is a PDF/e-book, is very comprehensive and affordable.

—The “Garden In A Truck” program offers custom plant selection and delivery at wholesale prices.

—If you’d like a site visit or virtual consultation to supplement these resources, and are not looking for a full design/planning package, you get to skip to the head of our waitlist.

For people who want full design/install in 2026 and don’t want to wait:

—Check out this list of other local ecological landscapers. These folks are all awesome. Some of them may still have space for new 2026 clients.
—Many landscapers try to do their design work over winter so they can focus on installs during summer. For future reference, try contacting us in fall or winter.

Free Community Resources

—Our website has a free resources section and maintains a free public Colorado Native Plants for Landscaping master spreadsheet.
—You might want to check out local nonprofits like Wild Ones Front Range or the other nonprofits in the CONPLC.

—The CO Native Plant Gardening facebook group is amazing!

Ecologically yours,

Eryn and the RLD team

We loved working with Eryn! She helped us create a landscape design that works with our lifestyle and values. Taking care of our yard will now require less watering, time, and work, and it’s also way better for the environment. We love it!
