Outdoor Living Space in Littleton, CO

Living in Littleton means strong sun in summer and cold winters that come fast. If your outdoor space isn’t built for both, it won’t get used much. We design and build spaces that handle the weather, match your home, and make it easy to spend more time outside.

Outdoor Living Spaces Designed for Littleton Homes

Littleton’s mix of hills, shade trees, and sun exposure means no two yards are the same. That’s why every project starts with a layout tailored to your property. We look at how water moves, where light falls, and how you live day to day. Our team blends solid construction with smart design to create a space that lasts and feels right from the start.

Before we dig, you’ll see everything in 3D. The design shows materials, spacing, and scale, so there are no surprises when the work begins. We keep the schedule realistic, stay in touch throughout the build, and leave the site clean. It’s a simple process that gives you a finished space built to last.

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!

FAQs About Outdoor Living Spaces in Littleton, CO

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines depend on the size and scope of your project. A small patio or pergola might take two to four weeks once construction begins, while a complete outdoor living area with kitchens, lighting, and landscaping can run a few months from start to finish. Before we begin, we’ll outline the full schedule so you know what to expect and when each phase will happen. We also build in time for inspections and weather changes, so there are no surprises.

Do you handle both design and construction?

Yes, our team manages everything in-house, from concept to completion. That means you won’t need to juggle multiple contractors or designers. We start with a 3D plan that helps you visualize the layout and finishes, then move seamlessly into construction with the same team that designed it. This approach keeps communication clear, eliminates gaps between design intent and execution, and ensures the final result matches what you approved.

Are permits required in Littleton?

Many outdoor projects in Littleton do require city permits, especially if they involve structural elements such as pergolas, decks, retaining walls, or outdoor kitchens with utilities. We handle the entire permitting process for you, from drawings to submissions and inspections, to make sure everything meets local building codes. This keeps your project compliant and protects your investment long term.

Can you create low-maintenance outdoor spaces?

Absolutely. We often design for homeowners who want a great-looking yard without spending every weekend maintaining it. In Littleton’s dry climate, that means choosing drought-tolerant plants, automated irrigation, and durable materials like composite decking or stone that resist fading and wear. We’ll tailor the design to your comfort level, so you get a space that’s easy to care for and built to last.
