Nationally recognized Turnburke Associates delivers home landscape designs that exceed your expectations.
Focused on the Front Range of Colorado, serving both foothills and plains homeowners with thoughtful landscape architecture, clear planning, and an orderly process, we work to create outdoor spaces that feel like sanctuary from your busy lives. By design, those spaces work beautifully, and thrive in all the conditions that Colorado can throw at you – sun, heat, wind, slope, snow, cold, voracious wildlife and all the rest.
Our Services
We’re not here to “spruce things up”. We create outdoor spaces for you to fall in love with, in every season. They include gardens, hardscape and the built environment.
Gardens
Gardens are the flash and pop of a landscape. Depending on your goals, garden design may include:
Foundation and entry planting that boosts curb appeal
Perennial borders and native/pollinator-friendly areas, incorporating seasonal interest
Privacy screening that doesn’t feel like a wall
Low-water and xeriscape strategies that still feel lush
Four-season composition, so it looks good even in January
Hardscape
Hardscape is the backbone: the parts you walk on, sit on, and gather around.
Hardscape design may include:
Patios, terraces, and outdoor dining areas
Walkways, steps, and circulation routes that make sense
Retaining walls and grade transitions
Driveway and arrival improvements
Lighting concepts and material palettes
Built Environment
This is where landscape and architecture meet and work together.
Built-environment services may include:
Outdoor rooms, structures, and site features
Integration with home additions, renovations, or new builds
Screening, fencing, and privacy solutions
Coordination around access, utilities, drainage, and constructability
Planning support for phased improvements over time
Our Approach to these Services
Conversation is first: listening to you, and to the site itself
How you want to live outside? What’s not working today? What do you love about the property? Then we listen to the site, too – sun, wind, slope, soil, water flow, views, and constraints.
Explore possibilities
In the “what if” stage, we explore layout options and different ways to solve challenges (privacy, drainage, steep grade, tricky access).

Review concepts
We walk through the concepts and review tradeoffs. What feels right? What’s missing? What’s exciting? What would make day-to-day life better?
Shared vision
Once we’re aligned, we refine toward a shared vision. This is where the design starts to feel like “yours,” not just “a plan.”
Develop strategies for implementing the vision
Your landscapes can be built all at once or phased over time. We’ll outline first steps, what can wait, and how phases support the bigger picture.
Work with other professionals to make the dream real
We collaborate with architects, builders, contractors, and officials as needed to support permitting, documentation, and a smooth build.
Why Choose Us?
Exceptional value
Value entails making smart decisions that withstand time, avoid expensive do-overs and enhance long-term enjoyment and the value of your home and property.
Experience
We’ve worked with complex sites, big views, steep grades, and the unique challenges that Colorado offers.
Creativity
We bring fresh ideas and our creativity shows up as solutions that are both stunning and site-smart.
Extraordinary level of service
We’re organized, we communicate, and we are respectful of your time. We also speak fluent “homeowner,” not just “designer.”
Green as a sustainable approach to life
We consider water, habitat, materials, longevity, and responsible use of resources. The result is a landscape that also feels good to live with.
Unique designs
No cookie-cutter plans. Nestled in the foothills or on a larger lot in town, the design should feel specific, personal, and unmistakably “yours.”
