A new offering from Evoke · Spring 2026

Your yard is using
too much water.
Let's change that.

Colorado is experiencing its worst snowpack year on record. Restrictions are tightening across the Front Range — and a beautiful yard shouldn't mean a water bill that keeps climbing. A Design Vision Session gives you a clear, personalized plan for a landscape that thrives on less.

Boulder entered Drought Watch April 1. Denver, Aurora & Arvada are already under mandatory Stage 1 restrictions. Boulder's decision is expected around May 1. This is the year to make a change that lasts.

Site visit + personalized Design Guide

What it is

Design built
for Colorado's
new reality.

A Design Vision Session is a 90-minute site visit with a senior Evoke designer, followed by a personalized written Design Guide delivered within one week. We assess your property, identify the highest-opportunity areas for transformation, and give you a clear, phased plan for a landscape that is both beautiful and prepared for Colorado's water future.

Site walk & landscape assessment

We walk your property together — reading your soil, sun exposure, microclimates, and existing plantings to understand what's working, what's struggling, and where the real opportunities are.

Turf reduction & planting strategy

We identify which turf areas are worth keeping, which are candidates for conversion, and what replacing them with low-water plantings, gravel, or hardscape could look like — phased to fit your timeline.

Your personalized Design Guide

A written guide with zone-by-zone recommendations, a curated Colorado-native and water-adapted plant palette, material suggestions, and a prioritized action list with rough cost ranges.

What you receive

Everything you
need to move
forward.

Your Design Guide is a standalone document — specific to your property, written by a senior designer, and actionable on your own timeline. If you choose to move forward with Evoke for full design and construction, the $1,500 session fee is credited toward your project.

Colorado-native plant palette

A curated selection of drought-adapted and native species chosen specifically for your property's sun exposure, soil conditions, and aesthetic vision.

Turf conversion strategy

Zone-by-zone guidance on which grass areas to keep, which to replace, and what to do with them — beds, gravel, hardscape, or native groundcover.

Materials & hardscape direction

Recommendations for mulch, gravel, permeable surfaces, and structural elements that reduce water demand while adding beauty and function.

Microclimate analysis

Identifying which areas of your yard have distinct sun, shade, and wind conditions — and matching plants and materials to each zone accordingly.

Phased action plan

A prioritized, realistic sequence with rough cost ranges so you know exactly where to start and how to build the transformation over time.

Path to full implementation

If you want Evoke to take the project all the way through construction, the DVS becomes the foundation — and the $1,500 fee credits toward your design agreement.

"Our work is defined by clean lines, natural materiality, thoughtful detailing, and an instinct for balance — softness against structure, light against shadow."

Award-winning leadership

Ashley Ingraham, Principal

Recipient of the prestigious "5 Under 40" award in Landscape Architecture, Ashley has led Evoke for over 14 years. A Design Vision Session means your property is assessed by a principal-level designer with deep expertise in Colorado's climate, plant communities, and native landscape aesthetics.

Senior design team

Lukas Coker & Andrew Castanheira

Lukas grew up in Bandelier National Monument and brings deep knowledge of climate-appropriate, drought-tolerant design. Andrew is a licensed landscape architect with a Master's from the University of Florida and 7 years of high-end residential experience. Site visits are conducted by this senior team — not junior staff.

15 years in Boulder & Colorado

Rooted in this landscape

Evoke serves Boulder, Denver, Cherry Hills, Aspen, Snowmass Village, Basalt, the Roaring Fork Valley, and Steamboat Springs. We design for Colorado's climate — not against it.
