About the Owner

Lauren Riordan has been working in the construction and green industry for most of her life. Lauren’s love of getting her hands dirty comes from over 15 years of field experience. Having earned her Bachelor of Science degree in landscape architecture, Lauren brings 9 years of design knowledge to her projects. With time and firsthand experience, Lauren became aware of the disconnect and loss of information that often occurred between designer, contractor, and installer. With a vision for filling these gaps, she sought to create an intimate and professional company where all areas are overseen and completed by the same group of go-getters. Thus, Kaleidoscape began.

Lauren Riordan

Founder, Lead Designer & Project Manager

Lauren has a deep passion for the landscape industry and has always enjoyed working outdoors and crafting with her hands. Before founding Kaleidoscape, she spent over a decade gaining experience with landscape, construction, and architectural firms while earning her Bachelor of Science in Landscape Architecture. Lauren envisioned a company where all client needs could be addressed in one place. She recognized that poor communication between the designer, installer, project manager, and client often complicated projects. With this in mind, Lauren sought to build a company where every aspect of the project is managed by the same team, ensuring clear and consistent communication with unified goals.

Julia Riordan

Plant Specialist, Office Manager, Design Assistant

Julia has always had an affection for plants and been involved in the green industry in her own ways. She turned her passion into a career and has been a plant specialist for years. Julia is a certified Colorado Gardener with an emphasis on native and pollinator friendly plant palettes. Every plant proposed is chosen with intention. Her intentionality shines bright through her plant suggestions, and we wouldn’t be able to create beautiful softscapes without her.

Leo

Right-Hand Man

Leo is an irreplaceable Kaleidoscape original. He carries a deep and profound passion for the natural world, honoring the plants and animals that coexist in our landscapes. While Leo is certainly skilled in every aspect of landscape, his strongest qualities shine in the realm of softscaping and plants. His spirit is reliable, enduring, and sincere. Leo’s zest for life can be heard in his heartfelt singing as he lays patios or plants trees. Kaleidoscape is grateful to have such a positive, hard-working team member.

Alvaro

Left-Hand Man

Alvaro is a one of a kind, tried and true. He is a steady, focused, and determined presence on the jobsite. He quickly earned the nickname “Maestro,” meaning “teacher” in Spanish. His attunement to detail and quality are reflective of Kaleidoscape’s own values. He is renowned as king of stripstone and champion of hardscapes. Alvaro is a pivotal part to our solid foundation.
