Basalt Landscaping

Gardens, irrigation, lighting, holiday displays and snow care for homes and businesses in Basalt, where the Fryingpan River meets the Roaring Fork.

Two rivers, and more growing season than Aspen.

Basalt sits at about 6,600 feet, roughly 1,400 feet below Aspen. Lower ground generally means a longer season and less snow than the top of the valley. Summers can still run dry, so a garden here lives or dies by how it gets its water.

  • A lawn edge, stone-lined bed and a small irrigation head below spruce

    Get the water right first

    Planting and irrigation planned together, with drip lines for beds and shrubs and smart controllers that adjust themselves to the weather.

  • Perennials planted around a large boulder on a lawn

    Water-wise zones

    Lawn, beds and trees each get their own, with native selections that need less help once they settle in.

  • A curved timber dock over dark water with garden lights along its edge

    Water after dark

    If your property has a pond, a dock or a fountain, light can carry the scene long after sunset.
