Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Patios, decks, pergolas, fire features, and full landscape design for Wheat Ridge and Applewood homes. We design your backyard in 3D, build it on a proper base so it holds up to our clay soil and Colorado freeze and thaw, and handle your City of Wheat Ridge permits.
Quality work. Honest service. Built for Colorado.
Wheat Ridge, Colorado
Wheat Ridge sits at about 5,400 feet, just west of Denver, with Clear Creek running along the north edge of town. What I like about building here is the lots. A lot of Wheat Ridge and Applewood homes sit on big, established parcels with mature trees, the kind of yard you can really do something with. The catch is the ground under them. This is Front Range clay, which swells up when it gets wet and shrinks back when it dries out. That movement, together with the freeze and thaw we get all winter, is what lifts and cracks a patio that was set on a thin base. So on every Wheat Ridge job the base and the drainage come first, before anything pretty goes on top.
When I design a space here, I design it to fit the home and the lot, not just drop a stock patio in the yard. Many of these houses are older ranch and mid-century homes, and the trees are part of what makes the neighborhood. We plan around roots, we set the grade so water runs away from your foundation instead of pooling on a flat lot, and we pick materials that take the strong high-altitude sun, the chinook winds off the foothills, and the hail the Front Range is known for.
And I handle the paperwork. Building in Wheat Ridge means pulling City of Wheat Ridge permits and building to the current code. If your neighborhood has an HOA, I prepare that submittal too. You should be picturing how you will use the space, not chasing forms, so that part is on me.
We are based nearby in Golden and build all over Wheat Ridge, so you get a team that knows the area and shows up.
Big established Wheat Ridge and Applewood lots deserve a plan that fits the home, the trees, and the scale of the yard.
Proper base, real drainage, and materials that handle Front Range clay, freeze, thaw, and strong sun.
We pull City of Wheat Ridge permits and prepare any HOA submittal so your project is approved and built to code.

Local know-how
Wheat Ridge yards come with a few things that trip up out-of-town crews. Here is how we handle them.
Front Range clay swells and shrinks with moisture. We dig deeper, compact real road base, and set footings so your patio, wall, and posts do not heave.
Applewood and older Wheat Ridge lots have room and big trees. We design to the scale of the yard and build around roots so the trees stay healthy.
On flatter lots near Clear Creek, water pools. We grade and drain so runoff moves away from your foundation, not into it.
We pull City of Wheat Ridge permits, build to the current code, and prepare any HOA submittal so the project is approved.
