Marpa is an award winning Landscape Architecture & Construction firm based in Boulder, CO. Our landscapes are defined by wondrous, contemplative designs. No matter the scale or complexity, whether it be a wildflower meadow or a highly detailed pool, we come back to the concept of the garden — a cultivated space where people can enjoy being outside, where the mind and body can rest, where habitat is restored, and the rawness of the earth and its materials are celebrated.

Ultimately, the garden is not simply a pretty space, but an expression of nature and the particular world-views of the client. All its fleeting phenomena — the fall of a leaf, the sound of water, shadows cast on a boulder — can engage our senses and bring us to greater awareness. In the garden, we can feel fully alive and connected to our history, community, and environment.

The garden is not just the finished product, but also the process and experience of creation. We take pride in providing our clients with an experience of utmost care, creativity, and quality — from concept sketch to built project.
