Lakewood, Colorado
From Belmar to Green Mountain, we design and build patios, decks, pergolas, fire features, and water-wise landscaping for Lakewood yards. We build for the expansive clay and freeze-thaw under your yard, so it lasts. You see it in 3D first, then one team builds it, permits and HOA approvals included.
Quality work. Honest service. Built for Colorado.
Lakewood, Colorado
Lakewood is a short drive from our home base in Golden, and we build here all the time. Most Lakewood lots are flatter and more open than the foothill yards to the west, which makes for great backyards. But do not let the flat ground fool you. Under most of Lakewood is expansive clay, the kind that swells up when it gets wet and shrinks back down when it dries. That movement is what cracks patios, tips walls, and lifts posts when the work is done cheap. We build for the clay from the start.
The fix is not fancy, it is just done right. We dig deeper than a quick crew would, lay in a thick compacted base, and shape the ground so water runs away from your house instead of pooling against it. Lakewood sits about 5,400 feet up, so the ground freezes and thaws all winter, the sun is strong, and Front Range hail rolls through most summers. Footings for a deck or pergola go below the frost line so they do not heave. We pick materials that take the sun and the weather without fading or flaking.
Water is the other thing we plan for. Lakewood is dry and sunny, so a thirsty green lawn fights you all season. We love a water-wise yard here, built on tough Colorado native plants like blue grama, buffalo grass, yarrow, penstemon, and rabbitbrush, with mulch and drip lines that cut your water use. Up around Green Mountain some lots sit on a real slope, so we add retaining walls and steps where the land drops off. The City of Lakewood needs permits for many projects, and lots of neighborhoods have an HOA, so we prepare the plans and handle the approvals for you.
You see the layout, the materials, and the finished look in a realistic 3D design before we break ground.
One local team plans and builds the whole project, so nothing gets lost between a designer and a crew.
Deep base, real compaction, and drainage that keep your patio flat and level over Lakewood's expansive clay.
Colorado native plants, mulch, and drip lines that look great and use far less water than a thirsty lawn.

Local know-how
Lakewood yards are great to build on when the work is done for the local conditions. Here is what we plan for.
Lakewood's expansive clay swells and shrinks with water. We dig a deep base, compact it, and grade the ground so water drains away from the house and off the clay.
Front Range sun fades cheap materials and summer hail is hard on everything. We choose finishes that hold their color and take the weather.
Some Lakewood lots, especially near Green Mountain, sit on a grade. We add retaining walls and steps to make flat, usable space you can live on.
The City of Lakewood needs permits for many projects, and lots of neighborhoods have an HOA. We prepare the paperwork and handle both for you.
