RLD 2026 Availability

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

We are full for 2026 clients and likely full for 2027 clients at this point, with some exceptions. We have a very long waitlist right now. Demand is currently higher than supply for knowledgeable ecological landscapers in the Denver area, which is why RLD has an apprenticeship program; .

We don’t want to leave you high and dry. Check out this list of other ecological landscapers in Colorado, check out our DIY Guide, 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, you’re very welcome to, and we will contact you when we have availability. Unfortunately, at this point it’s hard to say when that will be; right now we have more people on our waitlist that we can intake in 2027. We are encouraging everyone on the waitlist to look elsewhere for help if timely help is desired, so by fall of 2026 the waitlist may be smaller than it appears right now. It might be worth adding your name, in other words, but we can’t guarantee a specific timeline. If you put your name down on the waitlist and find someone else to work with before we follow up with you, that’s totally fine.

—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/educational space (school, HOA, demo garden, etc);
—want a crevice garden or food forest built;
—only want a site visit or paid 1-hour consultation call;

—have a budget of over $50k for 2027.
—In these situations, note it on the intake form or 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!

—HPEC has the widest selection of retail native plants in the Front Range.

To get started with us, fill out our Client Intake Form.

Please note that this website is pretty comprehensive. If you click around, you can read about our working range and working seasons, typical processes and rates, native plants that we like to use, etc..

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!
