your Local Landscaper
Looking to get to know our team?!
Hey! I’m Karah, co-owner of Xeric (formerly Parrs) Landscapes. I am passionate about bringing creative xeriscapes to life through thoughtful designs and intricate installations. I was born and raised in Erie, Colorado, by my landscape-loving dad, George. He was a highly skilled landscaper who owned and operated his business in the Erie area for over 30 years. When I was finishing up my Environmental Design degree at the University of Colorado Boulder, my dad unfortunately passed away due to a sudden cancer diagnosis. Near the end of his time here on earth, he encouraged my partner and i to carry on his lifelong legacy: the love and artistry of landscape and landscape design. In continuing this cherished legacy, my passion for sustainable and creative landscaping continues to flourish and evolve, inspiring my work every day.
Meet Nigel. He is foreman and co-owner at xeric. He is our number one guy on site, from demolition to installation. His background in Environmental Science complements his passion for the outdoors and reinforces our pursuit of more sustainable and ethical building practices.
Nigel specializes in stone Masonry work and irrigation. From rock walls, to flagstone patios, to ponds, each stone is laid under his meticulous guidance.
REMEMBERING our founder GEORGE
You may remember the name George Parrs, he’s our founder and many of our favorite landscaping styles were originally dreamed up and executed by him! George was a one of a kind guy who loved people and plants. His love for trees far surpassed most, and he loved to be outdoors. Many of his days off were spent camping in the mountains, but many more days here on earth were spent in clients yards.
He had a passion for nature’s beauty, which led to his keen eye for landscape. OUr work today is still continually inspired his iconic natural water features, moss rock walls, flagstone patios and paths. We do our best to keep his passion for the outdoors and for people alive in our work everyday.
