Design Agreement & Site Survey
Once we’re on the same page, we formalize the design agreement and conduct a thorough site survey. Our team pays special attention to Boulder’s climate, soil conditions, and neighborhood nuances, ensuring every plan is tailored for lasting success.
Concept Development & 3D Renderings
Here’s where your ideas take shape. We create high-level sketches, detailed CAD plans, and even 3D renderings so you can visualize the transformation before any work begins. These plans include precise measurements, material specs, planting schedules, and irrigation layouts, everything needed for smooth installation and HOA approval. Our plans are detailed enough to win HOA approval without endless meetings.

We know Boulder’s local regulations inside and out, so you don’t have to worry about compliance or delays. As one client puts it, “Stone & Leaf handled the HOA process from start to finish. I didn’t have to lift a finger, and my project was approved on the first try.”
The Art & Science of Low-Voltage Landscape Lighting
Landscape lighting isn’t just about seeing where you’re going after dark, it’s about transforming your property, enhancing safety, and creating a magical nighttime atmosphere.
Enhancing Safety & Security
We strategically place low-voltage lights along pathways, steps, and key entry points to keep your family and guests safe while deterring potential intruders. Proper lighting not only prevents accidents but also gives you peace of mind.
Architectural & Landscape Accenting
Our lighting designs use uplighting, path lighting, and shadowing techniques to highlight your home’s architectural features, mature trees, and garden focal points. The result? Depth, drama, and a property that truly stands out, day or night.
Extending Outdoor Enjoyment
With a professionally designed lighting system, your patio or deck becomes a welcoming evening space for entertaining, and your garden can be admired from inside your home long after sunset. Our systems are energy-efficient, using the latest technology to balance beauty and sustainability.
Lighting is the finishing touch that brings your landscape to life after dark. Our approach blends technical expertise with artistic flair, ensuring your outdoor space is both functional and stunning.
