The Yampa Valley has a way of humbling even the most enthusiastic gardener. At Nature's Design, we've spent nearly 30 years helping homeowners make smart, confident plant choices for life at this elevation. Whether you're starting a garden from scratch, filling in an existing landscape, or just tired of watching plants that looked great at the nursery struggle through their first Steamboat winter, our expertise in high altitude plants for Routt County homeowners means you get a landscape that performs as beautifully as the valley surrounding it.

At Nature's Design, we've spent 29 years working with Steamboat homeowners who want outdoor living spaces that are as tough as the landscape around them and as beautiful as the views they frame. Whether you need fresh ideas for a mountain-modern patio, inspiration for low-maintenance gardens, or design ideas for a full outdoor transformation that makes your home the envy of the neighborhood, this guide is your starting point.
