KRISTIN SCHICKLER, COLORADO LANDSCAPE DESIGNER AND OUTDOOR LIVING CONSULTANT
Hi, I’m Kristin Schickler, Colorado Landscape Designer and Outdoor Living Consultant. Since 1983, I’ve worked on residential and commercial projects for modest and upscale properties of $3M+.
In addition to design, I’ve supervised installation labor and worked closely with private clients, investors, architects, residential and commercial builders, nursery owners and plant brokers.
While I’ve worked on projects in San Diego, Seattle and Hawaii, I specialize in high altitude and mountain landscape designs. Why? Because I live here and understand the unique challenges we face when adapting our outdoor spaces to the Colorado mountain climate!
I thoroughly enjoy my work and hope one day I can help you with your landscape design, renovation or installation project too! If you’d like to discuss your interests and landscape dreams, please call me at 719-233-5642. But in the meantime, I hope you enjoy these posts and get some great ideas for your outdoor projects.
Best regards, Kristin
P.S. Don’t be shy about sending me your questions or posting comments. I answer each one personally!
