Landscaping & Hardscaping, Done Right
Every project starts with a free quote and ends with a walkthrough. Here's how we can help.
Landscape Design & Installation
Full-property design-build: 3D renderings you approve first, then planting, grading, edging, and mulch installed by our own crews.
Paver Patios & Walkways
ICPI-certified paver installation over a properly compacted base — patios that stay flat through Colorado freeze-thaw.
Outdoor Kitchens & Fire Features
Built-in grills, pizza ovens, gas fire pits, and seat walls — the pieces that turn a patio into the place everyone gathers.
Xeriscape & Water-Wise Conversions
Turf-to-xeriscape conversions that cut water bills 40–60% — and qualify for Fort Collins and Loveland utility rebates.
Retaining Walls & Grading
Engineered block and natural stone walls with real drainage behind them — plus regrading that moves water away from your foundation.
Sod & Irrigation
New lawns done right: graded, amended soil under fresh sod, watered by high-efficiency irrigation with smart controllers.

Design-Build Landscaping, Rooted in Fort Collins
GreenPath Landscaping was founded in 2014 by Elena Ruiz, a Colorado State University horticulture grad who spent her first years in the industry watching beautiful designs die because nobody matched the plants to the site — or the budget to the client. GreenPath was her answer: one team that designs, builds, and stands behind the whole project.
What Fort Collins Homeowners Say
“The 3D design sold us — we literally walked through our backyard on Elena's laptop and moved the fire pit twice before anyone dug anything. Finished project matches the rendering almost exactly. We basically live on the patio from May to October now.”
Fort Collins, CO
“GreenPath converted our front lawn to xeriscape last spring. They handled the Fort Collins rebate paperwork, the yard bloomed all summer, and our water bill dropped by half. Two neighbors have hired them since.”
Windsor, CO
“Had a leaning railroad-tie wall replaced with Allan Block. They showed me the drain pipe and gravel going in behind it — the stuff the old wall never had. Two springs of heavy snowmelt later it hasn't moved a millimeter. Crew was on time every single day.”

Landscaping & Hardscaping Questions, Answered
How much does landscaping cost in Fort Collins?
Full design-build landscaping projects with GreenPath start at $8,500, paver patios at $22 per square foot, xeriscape conversions at $5,800, and new sod at $2.10 per square foot. Every project includes a 3D design you approve — with the budget — before any work begins.
How much does a paver patio cost in Northern Colorado?
Around $22 per square foot installed by our ICPI-certified crews, so a typical 300–400 square foot patio runs $6,600–$8,800. That includes proper excavation, a compacted road-base foundation, polymeric sand joints, and a 25-year workmanship warranty on the hardscape.
Are there rebates for replacing my lawn with xeriscape?
Yes — Fort Collins Utilities and the City of Loveland both pay rebates for qualifying turf-to-xeriscape conversions. GreenPath designs to the rebate specs and prepares the paperwork for you. Most clients also see their water use drop 40–60% the first summer.
When should I schedule a landscaping project in Colorado?
Design in winter or early spring, build from April through October. Our design calendar fills fastest for spring builds, so booking a consult one to two seasons ahead gets you the best slot — hardscape projects like patios and walls can often be built earlier and later in the season than planting.
Do you guarantee the plants you install?
Yes — every GreenPath installation carries a 2-year plant guarantee, double the industry standard. We can offer it because our designers choose Zone 5 natives and adapted plants that actually belong in Northern Colorado's climate and clay soil.
What areas does GreenPath Landscaping serve?
We're based in Fort Collins and serve Northern Colorado: Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Timnath, Wellington, Severance, and Laporte. Design consults start with a walk around your yard anywhere in the service area.
