Colorado foothills modern, boulder garden

A water-wise slope beside the drive of a mountain-modern house in the Colorado foothills: Skyrocket junipers and fragrant sumac among sandstone boulders, with beardtongue, little bluestem, lamb's ear and a creeping thyme edge.

How this design was made

The before is an AI-generated stand-in, not a customer’s yard. The after is our engine’s unedited Xeriscape design for zone 5, locked to the plants of one starter set and laid out with the studio’s planting plan, and the planting list keeps only the set’s plants we confirmed in the picture. Every pin comes from our plant-identification pass, never placed by hand, and passes a second, independent check. The close-ups re-imagine what the main view doesn’t show, so a path, a step or a pot can differ. Planted from the “Rocky Mountain · High-Plains Xeric” starter set — a researched assortment from our own plant library.
