Outdoor Living Space in Lakewood, CO

If you live in Lakewood, you know what the weather can do to a yard. The sun fades, the snow shifts, and the wind finds every weak spot. We build outdoor spaces that hold steady through it all, with materials and design that make the space dependable.

Outdoor Living Spaces Built for Lakewood Homes

Building in Lakewood takes an understanding of the local ground, weather, and elevation. The soil can shift, drainage can get tricky, and the sun is strong. That’s why every project starts with a careful plan that accounts for your property, your layout, and your long-term goals. We focus on both design and structure, so your space looks polished and performs well for years.

You’ll see exactly what your project will look like before we start. Our team provides detailed 3D renderings, walking you through materials, finishes, and layout options. Throughout the process, we keep communication open, stick to the schedule, and treat your property with respect. The end result is a finished space that feels like it’s always been part of your home.

Jonathan, Flavia and their team did a wonderful job from landscape design to communication to installation and follow up support. They were all easy to work with, made good suggestions and gave us a fabulous backyard. Everything was installed in 5 days. We are excited to spend time in our new yard!

I had a great experience with Jonathan and his crew. They did a full landscape install in the front and side of my house.

It turned out perfect! They completed the job in one day and it’s beautiful. Everything was done following the quote I originally received, they were on-time and responsive through the whole process. Highly recommend!!

What Affects the Price

Staying on Budget and on Schedule

Budget and timing are the two parts of any project that matter most to homeowners. We plan carefully to keep both under control and transparent.

Budget

An outdoor living space is an investment in your home’s comfort and resale value. When you spread that investment over years of use, the cost becomes minimal compared to the daily value it adds. Whether it’s a $20,000 patio or a $100,000 outdoor kitchen, the key is that it enhances your lifestyle while strengthening your property’s appeal.

Schedule

We set timelines we can meet and communicate clearly about what to expect. Our crews work efficiently and keep the site organized and safe. At the end of each day, we leave your property tidy, and when the project wraps up, the space is clean, finished, and ready for you to enjoy immediately.

Lakewood sits along the base of the Rocky Mountain foothills, west of Denver. The city blends suburban living with quick access to trails, parks, and open space. The local climate brings wide temperature swings and intense sunlight, which makes durable materials and shaded areas smart choices for outdoor living. Nearby parks like Belmar Park and Bear Creek Lake Park show just how connected Lakewood residents are to outdoor life. Well-planned design helps local homes extend that same connection right into the backyard.
