Highland Landscaping

Where Victorian Charm Meets
Modern LoHi Living

Highland — and its celebrated sub-neighborhood Lower Highland, known universally as LoHi — is one of Denver's most dynamic and architecturally diverse neighborhoods. Victorian-era cottages sit alongside sleek modern townhomes, century-old brick bungalows neighbor contemporary infill projects, and tree-lined residential streets give way to the bustling restaurant scene along 32nd Avenue and Platte Street. Colorado Dreamscapes designs landscapes that honor this eclectic character, creating outdoor spaces that complement both Highland's historic roots and its contemporary evolution.

The neighborhood's proximity to the South Platte River and Confluence Park provides Highland residents with exceptional access to Denver's trail network and waterfront amenities. Properties along the western edge enjoy views of the river corridor and downtown skyline — assets our designs frame and celebrate. For hillside properties that climb toward the Highland neighborhood proper, we address the grade changes with terraced gardens, stone retaining walls, and strategic plantings that manage drainage while creating usable outdoor rooms on sloped lots.

LoHi's modern townhome developments often come with compact outdoor spaces — small patios, rooftop decks, and narrow side yards — that demand creative design to maximize functionality. We specialize in these urban-scale projects, using built-in planters, vertical gardens, space-efficient furniture layouts, and container-based plantings that bring lush greenery to even the smallest Highland outdoor spaces. For owners of Highland's cherished Victorian homes, we design period-sympathetic gardens with wrought-iron edging, heirloom perennials, natural stone pathways, and picket-fence cottage gardens that respect the neighborhood's architectural heritage.

Highland's mature trees — particularly the towering cottonwoods along the river and established elms on residential streets — create varied shade patterns that influence plant selection throughout the neighborhood. We design custom plant palettes based on each property's sun exposure, from full-sun xeriscapes on south-facing slopes to shade-adapted woodland gardens beneath dense canopies, always prioritizing water conservation and year-round visual interest.
