Projects

Every yard gets a name.

Not "the Smith residence." The Backyard Water Park. The Treehouse Yard. The Everything Backyard. When the first KidScapes are finished, each one will be documented here from crayon drawing to final walkthrough.

Honest note

We're a new studio. This page is waiting on the first summer.

We'd rather show you nothing than show you a stock photo with a made-up story under it. As projects finish and families give permission, this gallery fills in with real before-and-afters, plans and details. In the meantime, the concept studies below show how we think.

Concept studies

How we'd approach three common Front Range yards.

Design concepts, not built projects. Each one starts from a typical lot and a typical family and shows what we'd draw.

Concept · Average suburban lot

The Little Explorer

Two kids under five. A dense toddler zone off the patio: covered sand, stream table, low turf hill with a slide, bucket swing, three-jet splash pad, and a shade sail over all of it. Footings roughed in for a tower and conduit for a future court.

Ages 1–5Grows to 5–10Water + sand
Concept · Large lot with a mature tree

The Treehouse Yard

Three kids, 6 to 12. A post-and-tree treehouse with a 70-foot zip line to a bouldering wall, a ninja line along the fence, a half court where the grade is flat, and a fire pit positioned so the parents see all of it. Toddler features skipped; a plunge pool in the "later" column.

Concept · Half acre, whole family

The Everything Backyard

Four kids spanning 2 to 13. Zoned: toddler corner off the kitchen, shared middle with a splash pad, turf hill and nest swing, big-kid zone with a tower and pickleball court, and a family pool with a beach entry and a sun shelf visible from the outdoor kitchen. Phased over three years.

What a project page will show

The whole story, not just the after photo.

When real projects land here, each one will include the kids' original drawing if there was one, the concept plan, the site plan, photos from construction, the finished yard in use, and a detail section: features included, ages considered, parent features, kid features, materials used, and related ideas. Client names only with permission. Photos of children only with permission, and never of children who aren't the client's.

Your yard could be the first one here.
