Retirement: A contractor's Italianate dream at the base of Aspen's Buttermilk ski mountain
From time to time, a landscape install can hit a few too many bumps. Even at the base of a ski resort. Our designer was hired for damage control and to redesign a few areas.

One of these areas was the hot tub garden. The Clients sponsored a participant with the Aspen Music Festival each summer. Clematis and dianthus peak during the festival.

Relaxing in a bower of blooms; the sheer density of blossoms softens these stone walls for weeks on end, from early June to late July

The walls were never addressed in the original design. Our designer was asked to create a riot of color, to be playful.

High altitude sunlight bleaches color. To compete with the multi-hued brick/stone work, our designer chose colors to contrast or compliment: bright blue veronica, scarlet Maltese Cross, paprika achillea.

There was no access from the roof terrace to the gardens below, so the Client requested a footpath with his remnant stone.

The remaining stone was quite small, so our designer had the landscape crew assemble 'compositions' of stone. Burgundy gaillardia flank the tertiary foot path.

An important aspect to a landscape is the Client relationship. This ensures that a landscape thrives as it was designed to. Frequent visits help us perpetuate successes and address unexpected undesirables. These visits also cultivate friendships.
