Introduction: Hello! My name is Kristen Whitehead and I own and operate Helios Landscape Design. We design residential landscapes located along the Colorado Front Range and focus on sustainable, earth-friendly landscape design. Uniting outdoor living spaces with the true surroundings. Our job is focused on creating a beautiful landscape plan that fits the needs of you and your family to enjoy for years to come! Whether you need a plan to submit to your HOA for the landscape of your new home or you'd like to renovate your existing landscape we can help. Although we do not do the actual installation, we can either suggest local contractors to use or you can use your favorite landscaper. We can either meet you on-site or virtually to discuss your landscaping needs. We approach the landscape design two ways depending on which direction you'd like to go: Comprehensive Landscape Design - In-person + on-site initial consultation - Design Proposal Sent via email. Pricing starts at $1200 depending on size and scope of work - Site Analysis: pictures and measurements of the existing site by designer - 3 hand-drawn concepts emailed to homeowners - Preliminary plan + 3D rendering - Revisions included - Final Landscape Design Meeting Plants, materials, and structures called out. - Personal + detailed - This approach is good for people that may have a larger project and need to be more detailed. Also, this method is good if homeowners feel more comfortable communicating on-site and in person. Online Landscape Design - Phone call, initial consultation to discuss landscaping goals - Design Proposal sent via email. Pricing starts at $950 depending on size and scope of work - Site analysis by the client. Please provide site plans, measurements and photos of the site to be designed - 3 hand-drawn concepts emailed to homeowners - Preliminary plan + 3D rendering provided by email within 2 weeks after concepts are reviewed - Revisions included - Final revised plan emailed. Plants, materials and structures called out. - Cost effective + quicker design on your schedule - This approach may be good for people that have a new build home in an HOA neighborhood and need a plan to submit. Or people that would like to DIY and just need ideas! Both design approaches are intended for a landscape installer to use our plan as a road map. Using a plan like ours will have the layout and plant material thoughtfully planned out just for you and your family's needs.

sKristen has been a passionate and informative source of reassurance and ideas for us. We had lost half our land and trees to the St Vrain River during the flood. We felt devastated and uncertain about whether we could EVER make our place green and comforting again. Thanks to working with Kristen, we are no longer discouraged, but, rather, excited about seeing all the natural elements we have again. Kristen is a genuine pleasure to work with. She listened to our wants and needs and incorporated them into her design while also letting us know if a particular plant or location we proposed could be improved upon. We found Kristen to be thoughtful, knowledgable and flexible. She has a real passion for her work. We recommend her MOST highly and, as our plantings fill in, we look forward to working with her in the future to create a lush landscape once again.

Kristen + Helios to the rescue! I signed up for the XIP Xeriscape program through the city of Fort Collins and had tried to tackle the desgin myself. With a deadline approaching and a busy schedule I needed to hand the design I was really in love with off and ask for help. (Which is sometimes really hard to do when you have invested your own time into the design!)BOY did she deliver! I could have never created a design that looks so professional and beautiful. I would have never had known what plants to put into the design and how to combine them for year - round beauty. She was so thoughtful about everything and took my ideas and brought them to life. My partner and I are THRILLED to have our magical yard installed and are SO happy we made the decision to hire Helios for the design!

I wanted to give my wife with a surprise for Mother's Day, and Kristen came through with flying colors (in more ways than one). She made our yard look beautiful. She did everything she said she was going to do, and was very professional. Having a Master Gardner like her do landscape design for us was the best decision my yard has had, probably ever. Thanks Kristen!
