Richard Gilbert
Former Marine Scout/Sniper & Landscaper
Welcome to Bighorn Landscapes, where we blend the beauty of nature with unwavering excellence in landscaping.
We are not just a landscaping company, we are a story, a testament to resilience, and a passion for creating outdoor spaces that reflect the very essence of life.
Our founder, Richard Gilbert, is more than just a landscaper. He’s a Marine Scout/Sniper who proudly served his country and overcame incredible odds.
After sustaining injuries while serving in Iraq, Richard spent two years in the hospital, fighting a battle of a different kind. It was during those difficult times that he discovered the therapeutic power of gardening and landscaping.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Richard realized that tending to the Earth’s wonders brought him solace and purpose.
It was a way to heal not just himself, but the world around him. It’s this profound connection to the Earth that defines Bighorn Landscapes and sets us apart.





Our motto, “Inspired by Nature, Defined by Excellence!” encapsulates our commitment. We draw our inspiration from the rugged landscapes of Colorado Springs, where nature’s beauty is our constant muse.
We’re inspired by the resilient bighorn sheep that navigate steep terrains with grace. It’s in the backdrop of these majestic mountains that our work truly comes to life.
Our commitment to excellence is unwavering. We bring the same determination, precision, and unwavering spirit that Richard displayed during his service to every landscaping project.
We believe that every garden, every landscape, has a unique story waiting to be told. Our team’s expertise, combined with Richard’s dedication, ensures that every project we undertake is a masterpiece of artistry, sustainability, and functionality.
At Bighorn Landscapes, we’re not just transforming landscapes; we’re transforming lives. We’re honored to serve the Colorado Springs community by creating outdoor spaces that bring joy, peace, and healing to those who experience them.
When you choose Bighorn Landscapes, you’re not just choosing a landscaping company; you’re choosing a legacy of resilience, passion, and a commitment to nature’s unparalleled beauty. Together, we’ll craft landscapes that are “Inspired by Nature, Defined by Excellence!”
