With our semi-arid climate and unpredictable weather, Colorado Springs makes for a challenging place to maintain lush landscapes. But no matter the conditions, this doesn't mean you can't achieve the outdoor living space of your dreams! At Bear Claw Landscaping of Colorado Springs, we make sustainable and beautiful landscapes possible. Bear Claw Landscaping has won numerous "People's Choice" awards for best landscape and design and industry awards for best landscape design and best water features.
Irrigation is one of the most important facets of a healthy landscape. The design of the irrigation system must be done correctly for the soil conditions, slopes, and sun exposure of the site. Head to head coverage or 100% coverage is a must for turf areas. Cutting corners and coverage will result in failure. As water rates increase, a poorly designed system will cost you much more money than having it correctly done from the beginning. Drip irrigation for flower beds, gardens, etc., is best to be subsurface so when watering restrictions do occur due to drought conditions, the drip can be operated legally every day if need be.
Retaining walls are a necessity for most homes in our area to aid in the proper water drainage control set forth by the RBD (Regional Building Department) regulations. Height limits are also specified by RBD and when larger walls are needed, engineering becomes part of the equation. Bear Claw's team specializes in not only Manufactured Concrete Block, Siloam Stone, but also all types of boulders and timber retaining walls. Retaining walls are functional, but can also be installed for aesthetics such as vegetable gardens, flower beds, play areas and many more.
Xeriscape is an ecologically water-wise strategy for dealing with our arid climate. The best approach to solve this problem is reducing large areas of lawn and replacing the area with a combination of landscape and organic plant life. We will evaluate the present soil conditions and prepare a conducive plan of attack. Soil preparation and efficiency rated irrigation are the key building blocks. After this, we want to implement patios, walkways, accent boulders, decorative rock, mulch, and finally add the color of the drought tolerant plant specimens.
Bear Claw has been designing and building the most natural looking water features in the region for over two decades now. Bear Claw approaches all projects with one thing in mind: We want your water feature to appear as if the Almighty Maker himself created it.
