Aurora Landscaping & Outdoor Living Services
Plan the whole space around how you want to live outside, then choose the features that make sense for your property.
ColoradoScape & Planting
Replace high-water grass with a designed mix of flowering perennials, shrubs, ornamental grasses, boulders and mulch. We consider plant size, seasonal color, irrigation and ongoing care.
Explore Aurora ColoradoScaping →Stamped Concrete
Create patios, walks and steppers with room for furniture and easy movement through the yard. Choose a finish that connects the home to the landscape.
Explore Aurora Stamped Concrete →Artificial Turf
Define a functional play, dog or gathering area, then connect it to planting and hardscape. We plan the base, drainage, edging and turf placement together.
Explore Aurora Artificial Turf →Walls & Fire Features
Use retaining walls, seatwalls, steps, boulders and fire features to add structure and gathering spaces where the yard needs them.
Explore Hardscape →Outdoor Kitchens & Shade
Build a cooking area or pergola into the larger patio plan so seating, shade and circulation work together.
Explore Outdoor Kitchens →Complete Yard Construction
Bring grading, drainage, rock, mulch, planting, patios, turf and finishing details under one plan and one crew.
Explore Landscape Construction →Make the backyard usable
From Builder-Basic to a Finished Aurora Backyard
Many new homes start with a small concrete pad and a lot of unfinished ground. We look at grade, drainage and access first, then lay out the patio, lawn or turf, planting beds and gathering spaces to fit the way your family lives.
Tell us what you want now and what might come later. A firepit, kitchen, pergola or lighting can be considered as part of the same plan, even when you build in phases.

Aurora Water GRIP
Replacing Grass With a Water-Wise Landscape?
Aurora Water lists its fall GRIP application window as November 1, 2026 through January 1, 2027, with approved projects in that group due by July 31, 2027.
The published residential rates are $3 per square foot for an approved traditional planted water-wise landscape and $0.50 per square foot for approved native or low-water grass. The conversion area must have existing, irrigated and well-maintained grass. Barren soil and significant bare patches or weeds do not qualify.
Apply and obtain Aurora Water approval before removing grass or starting installation. Rebates are not retroactive. Artificial turf does not qualify for GRIP. Aurora Water determines the eligible area and final payment.
Check Aurora Water’s GRIP manual and application →How FRSR helps: We can plan a planted ColoradoScape, discuss irrigation and provide a separate scope for turf, patios or other outdoor living features. Confirm that Aurora Water serves the property and obtain its approval before construction. HOA approval is a separate step.

Real FRSR work in Aurora
The Chomko Outdoor Living Project
Stamped concrete patios, a built-in outdoor kitchen and a gas firepit with seatwalls give this Aurora backyard distinct places to cook, eat and gather. Cappuccino concrete color, Autumn Brown release and a Blue Stone texture tie the spaces together.
The kitchen includes a Bull Angus grill. The firepit and seatwalls make the patio useful long after dinner.

Can FRSR build a complete new-construction backyard?
Yes. We can combine grading, drainage, patios, walks, planting, turf and outdoor living features in one coordinated project. Share your plot plan or builder information if you have it.
Can I replace my Aurora lawn with ColoradoScape?
Yes. We design planted water-wise conversions with suitable plants, mulch, boulders and irrigation. If you want an Aurora Water GRIP rebate, apply and receive city approval before removing grass or starting installation.
Does Aurora Water rebate artificial turf?
No. Artificial turf does not qualify for Aurora Water’s GRIP. We can scope it separately from an eligible planted conversion. Review city coverage requirements and your HOA’s rules before choosing placement.
Do you help with HOA submissions?
We can help prepare layout and material information for your submission. Your association determines the approval requirements and timing.
How much does an Aurora landscaping project cost?
It depends on the size, access, removal, grading, drainage, materials and features. Tell us about your property so we can discuss a site visit and written estimate.
