Project Intro
This project reimagines a quarter-acre lot in Highlands Ranch, Colorado as a model of how regenerative
design can succeed even under HOA restrictions. The clients, a young couple, wanted to cut their water bill
in half, reduce their turfgrass while keeping gathering space, replace high-input lawn with natives, and grow
food in abundance. The design achieves all four goals while creating a landscape that is beautiful,
compliant, and productive.
