LANDSCAPE BUCKET LIST

Outdoor kitchens, putting greens, and custom builds for the backyard you've always wanted.

The Backyard You've Been Thinking About for Years

Everyone has that one idea they've been sitting on. An outdoor kitchen for summer cookouts, a putting green for weekend practice, a fireplace that makes the patio usable into November. Whatever it is, it's been on the list.

We build the projects that turn a yard into something personal. Not cookie-cutter setups or catalog kits, but custom features designed around how you want to use your space and built to handle Colorado’s climate year after year.

From concept to completion, our crew handles the full build. Gas, electric, concrete, stone, drainage, and finishing details. One team, one point of contact, and no project managers handing you off to someone else.

Our Process

Step-1

Consultation

We talk through your ideas, walk your property, and figure out what's realistic for your space and budget.

Step-2

Design and Planning

We lay out the project, select materials, and coordinate any utility or permit needs before breaking ground.

Step-3

Professional Installation

Our crew handles construction start to finish, from site prep and footings to finishing details.

Step-4

Final Walkthrough

We review operation, care, and maintenance so you know exactly how to enjoy and protect your new space.

What's Included in Every Service

Bucket list projects take more planning, more coordination, and more craftsmanship than standard builds. Here's what comes with every custom project we take on.

  • On-site consultation and design planning
  • Custom material selection for Colorado's climate
  • Gas, electric, and plumbing coordination
  • Concrete, stone, and hardscape construction
  • Drainage and grading
  • Appliance and fixture installation
  • Final walkthrough and care instructions

Trusted by homeowners throughout Castle Rock and surrounding areas since 2006.

"We couldn’t be happier with our backyard, thanks to Aaron and his amazing crew! Their flexible, collaborative approach during the estimating, design, and installation stages made the entire process enjoyable. The quality of their work is exceptional, and we’ve already recommended YMS to several neighbors!"

Bristin R.

Castle Rock, CO

"I cannot say enough good things about YMS Landscaping. They kept their appointments, showed up on time, listened to our ideas and provided guidance. They helped us with our HOA review process and started the work shortly after approval. Their quality of work was exceptional and we look forward to spending time on our new patio and yard."

Tim Rice

Lakewood, CO

"We have had multiple friends and family members use YMS. They came very highly recommended and they did not disappoint. Aaron and his crew did amazing work at a price much lower than competing groups. We would recommend them to anyone, will use them again for future projects."

John Bouchillon

Castle Rock, CO

These guys did such an amazing job on what anyone would say was a challenging project. Our backyard had such a steep slope and narrow access but Aaron and crew knocked it out of the park. We’re so happy with how the yard came out and the concrete work was top notch. Can’t recommend these guys enough.

Paul Hicks

Castle Pines, CO

"Aaron, Jason, and their team did an exceptional job of updating our home and yard. They made all variables easy to understand and offered many choices that we would be happy with the outcome. I would encourage anyone to meet with them about a project they are considering."

Scott Schilter

Mike Peterson
