Choose Your Style

Every package, three directions.

Before you pick a size or budget, pick a look. Each Anvil xeriscape starts from one of three signature collections — a curated palette we tailor to your property's sun, soil, and architecture.

Collection 01

Colorado Natural

Inspired by Colorado's foothills.

Native texture, soft movement, and understated color create a landscape that feels rooted in the Front Range — natural, durable, and never desert-like.

Mulch

1.5″ River Rock

Material distinction: the 1.5″ river rock creates a softer, more natural scale than the finer black granite used in Clean Modern. Landscape lighting available as an enhancement.

Native Character Soft Movement Year-Round Texture

Collection 02

Clean Modern

Architectural. Minimal. Timeless.

Strong repetition, clear height contrast, and restrained bloom color create a premium architectural landscape that reads cleanly from the street.

Collection 03

Color + Pollinator

Designed for season-long color.

Dense, layered perennial planting keeps the bed colorful and active from late spring into fall while creating a softer, garden-forward look.

Bloom is layered, not scattered. Plant density fills the visual gaps — no separate groundcover needed. Wood mulch keeps the garden-forward character distinct from both rock-based collections.
