We had an incredible experience working with Marpa on our backyard project. It was a year-long 2025 project. Their taste and attention to detail are unmatched, and they were thoughtful and transparent about keeping the design aligned with our budget. The team stayed on top of the timeline and delivered exactly what they promised. Our project involved significant structural engineering and they pulled it off flawlessly. Special thanks to project managers Bodie and Casey, who were outstanding to work with, as well as the entire landscape management crew for their craftsmanship and care. If you’re trying to achieve something truly exceptional in your outdoor spaces, and you have the budget, this is the firm to work.
Martin was very generous in his time in agreeing to undertake a small project like ours. Not only did he design everything, he went out of his way to select the products that would work for our neighborhood and our budget. His design was so far beyond what we expected. Marpa Landscape treated us and our front yard project every bit as important as their large clients. Martin's unsurpassed vision and the ability to complete any type of architectural project they accept with full integrity is what keeps clients returning to Marpa Landscape Architecture and Construction.
I am extremely pleased with the beautiful design, landscaping and hardscaping work done by Marpa and their crews. I get compliments on their work from neighbors and guests all the time. We have a very awkward steep slope in the back and the Marpa team completely transformed it. Even though we did several walk-throughs to review the design, I have to say it was hard for me to imagine how stunning the result would be. Luke and his team are total professionals, straight forward, and have total integrity. I would recommend them to anyone for small or large jobs.
We hired MARPA in October 2018 for landscape architectural design and implementation management for our new home in Boulder, Colorado. Our decision to hire MARPA was based on the overall design concept and positive comments from earlier clients. Overall, we were particularly happy with the sand-finished concrete, custom spa and fire-pit areas. MARPA’s implementation partner (EDI) does a great job and were on-site reliably and consistently. The perennials and trees that were delivered were all top-notch nursery stock and have grown well since the project was completed in May 2019.
Marpa's beautiful designs speak for themselves. Their professionalism and ability to communicate with our architect, engineer, and general contractor were invaluable... especially on the front end as we pushed our project through planning and permitting. The installation crew made the plan come alive and we're looking forward to many years enjoying our new home and the landscape of our dreams! Thanks Luke, Forty, and Kate!
