About Us
Creating Personalized Spaces That Reflect Your Lifestyle
Our Story
What do you get when you combine background degrees in Horticulture Business Management with Design, Historic Preservation, Art, and Classical Ballet? A unique hardworking husband and wife duo with a knack for creative and authentic details. A.K.A. David and Cara Doyle.
We own and operate our business out of our circa 1915, former dairy barn in Northern Colorado. The cows have since been replaced with two darling girls, a handful of hens, and two feisty cattle dogs.
Since we can't operate alone, our certified installation crews are highly valued and genuine people who are professional in manner. Together, we regularly attend classes, conferences, and work with our vendors and manufacturers to keep up to speed with the latest trends the industry has to offer. In other words, we are passionate people who love to live outside the box.

Testimonials
What Our Clients Are Saying
Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Summit installed a large patio with a gas fire pit for us in 2020 and we were very happy with the service at the time and still incredibly happy with how it's held up! We worked with Shane who communicated well and was very knowledgeable. They also moved some of our sprinkler system underground so that the patio walkway didn't completely cover it and would still be accessible if need be. The owners Cara and David are also great people and I highly recommend their business to anyone!Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. David and his team built a creative and beautiful solution for The SAVA Center’s garden. He heard what we needed, designed it, and did what he said he’d do.

We provided them with our vision and they drew it all to scale, made sound suggestions to enhance our overall design and took extra care throughout the process to make us feel included. The crew was professional, reliable and so friendly. We had Summit install a Belgard Catalina Grana paver patio, bubbler rock water feature as well as full irrigation system, all plants, rock and mulch. We are SO happy!
