Sharon and Courtney are amazing! They listened and incorporated ALL of our wants and needs. They planned the most beautiful, "low maintenance," design possible! They are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, dedicated and prompt - they consistently go the extra mile. We absolutely appreciated that they met with the landscaper several times, including the day of install, to be sure that the design was perfectly executed. Combined with their superior knowledge and design, they are wonderful to work with. We enjoyed our time with them, and look forward to working with them in the future. We highly recommend

Lockwood Landscape Designs is a professional company with a personal touch. Several years ago I contacted Sharon Lockwood for a full landscape design (both front and back yards). My goal was to have lots of interesting perennials and very little lawn. Sharon came up with a wonderful design that incorporated some interesting hardscape as well as many unusual plants. This past Spring I asked Sharon and Courtney for a redesign so that a tree could be incorporated into the front yard and new plants for the backyard in the area where a very large Elm tree had been taken down. Once again I was presented

Lockwood Landscape is EXCELLENT! Extremely experienced, highly knowledgeable, great to work with. I had my entire yard, front and back, landscaped by Sharon Lockwood and her team. From start to finish the process was fabulous because Sharon is so easy to work with. Her guidance and expertise led to the creation of the beautiful yard I used to dream about. Lockwood Landscape makes your landscape dreams come true!

There was no doubt when I knew it was time to redesign and update my landscaping that I would hire Sharon. I have witnessed Sharon's expertise throughout my career in the design/build community. During our first walk thru meeting Sharon was very attentive to my desires, offering ideas as I discussed maintaining some plantings and my wish to bring color that would vary thru the seasons. I trusted her completely as she offered a design of not only beauty, fun, unusual and plantings to withstand our Colorado weather, but also to the scale and mass of each. Sharon did not disappoint me with the design
