If you are looking for a landscaping company to service your property in Littleton, Thunderbird Design brings more than 20 years of experience across the south Denver metro. From the established lots near Downtown Littleton and Columbine to the sloped, rocky parcels toward Ken Caryl and Roxborough, our award-winning designers and skilled crews know how to build outdoor spaces that hold up to Front Range conditions.
Whether you are finishing a bare new-build lot or reworking a yard that no longer fits how you live, we handle the entire project, from grading and drainage through the final plant, paver and light. We design for Littleton’s soils, slopes and water limits so your landscape looks good and lasts for years.
Most of the calls we get in Littleton fall into two camps: a yard that was never finished correctly, or one that looked fine for a season and then failed. We built our process around avoiding both. Every project starts with a real design, not a quick sketch, because grading, drainage and plant placement decide whether a yard survives its second winter. You can see how that discipline plays out across our portfolio of completed Colorado projects, where the same crews handle design, hardscape and planting under one roof. That single-team approach is also how we catch the landscaping mistakes we see most often in Colorado before they cost you money.
Littleton is not one landscape, it is several. Lots closer to the South Platte tend toward heavy clay that holds water and heaves, while parcels rising toward Ken Caryl and Roxborough sit on decomposed granite that drains fast and slides on a slope. Deer traffic near the foothills also shapes plant choices, so we lean on species that browsing animals tend to leave alone. Between semi-arid summers and district watering limits, the yards that thrive here are designed to use less from the start, which is why we walk most clients through what drought-resistant landscaping costs before a single plant goes in the ground.
We serve all of Littleton and the surrounding south metro, including Columbine, Ken Caryl, Roxborough, Southbridge and the neighborhoods around Downtown Littleton, along with nearby Centennial, Highlands Ranch and Lone Tree.
Cost depends on scope, site conditions and materials. We give a detailed, itemized quote after a site visit so there are no surprises once work begins.
Yes. Low-water design is one of our most-requested services in Littleton, combining drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation and smart hardscape to cut water use while keeping the yard usable.
Most full installations run two to four weeks once we break ground, depending on size, hardscape volume and weather.
Littleton yards ask for a wide range of work, and we handle nearly all of it in house. A complete landscape installation can include soil prep, sod, trees and beds, while sloped foothill lots often need retaining walls that hold grade. Many clients pair xeriscaping with drought-tolerant planting, and we build natural flagstone patios, tune efficient irrigation to Colorado soils, and add low-voltage landscape lighting.
