Outdoor Lifestyles is an Arvada-based, family-owned and operated landscaping company dedicated to creating exceptional outdoor spaces that work in harmony with Colorado’s breathtaking natural environment. Founded in 1988 by Brandon Knight, a third-generation Arvada native and Certified Landscape Technician (CLT), Outdoor Lifestyles has been serving the community for nearly 40 years.
Brandon attended Fort Lewis College and began his career as a teenager mowing lawns to support his passion for football. What started as a summer job evolved into a lifelong profession built on craftsmanship, trust, and an appreciation for Colorado’s unique landscapes. In 2021, Walker Knight, Brandon Knight's son, joined the family business full time and now leads the Design, Sales and Marketing team. “I love that we're being of service to our customers, local businesses, HOAs, and the Arvada community where I grew up.” Walker shares.
Brandon leads a seasoned team of Certified Landscape Technicians (CLTs), designers, engineers, and irrigation and masonry experts. Together, they bring technical expertise and thoughtful execution to every project, while maintaining the care and pride of a family-run business.
Outdoor Lifestyles specializes in Colorado-native landscapes, low-maintenance and xeriscape solutions, real and artificial turf, and fully customized outdoor living environments. Their hardscape team designs and builds patios, retaining walls, walkways, and masonry features engineered to withstand Colorado’s demanding soils and changing climate—ensuring beauty that lasts. “I also take great pride walking clients through the entire process and seeing the lasting impact our work has for them, their friends, and family to enjoy,” Walker adds.
Proudly serving Arvada and surrounding Denver Metro communities, the company is guided by its core philosophy: Envision. Create. Sustain.
Envision begins with understanding how clients truly want to live outdoors. That vision may be a peaceful backyard retreat for quiet mornings, a welcoming space for family gatherings that stretch into warm summer evenings, or an active landscape where children climb hand-selected boulders and play on vibrant green turf. It could be the vision to swim in a private family pool or explore in their handcrafted custom water feature. Sometimes, it’s simply the joy of stepping outside and knowing everything is beautifully cared for with their full-service maintenance package. Outdoor Lifestyles helps clients define and refine that vision, making the process clear, collaborative, and stress-free.
Create is where professional expertise meets craftsmanship. Certified teams deliver the fit, finish, and attention to detail expected of premier landscape professionals, while preserving the personal service that keeps clients coming back year after year. “We take great pride in knowing that we have many clients we have served for over 25 years", the team shares.
Sustain focuses on ensuring each landscape continues to thrive long after installation. With engineering-driven planning, proper soil preparation, and climate-conscious plant selection, Outdoor Lifestyles builds for longevity and efficiency. Accredited designers and certified technicians install irrigation systems that reduce water and use long-term costs, while nursery experts carefully hand-select plants suited to Colorado’s ever-changing conditions. Every element is thoughtfully chosen to protect the investment and enhance the property over time.
As longtime Arvada residents, the Outdoor Lifestyles team understands the importance of giving back and staying connected to the community they serve, supporting local nonprofits while caring for their clients. They also understand Front Range weather and the need for landscapes that feel natural, functional, and enduring. Clients often describe the experience as collaborative, thoughtful, and refreshingly personal, resulting in outdoor spaces they’re proud to share with loved ones and truly enjoy every day.
"Outdoor Lifestyles doesn’t just build landscapes; we create outdoor environments rooted in Colorado, designed for living, and built to last for generations."
