Jon and Team were great to work with throughout the project. We had a few delays that Jon was more than willing to accommodate, and he was a great professional throughout. Our yard looks phenomenal and we haven’t had any follow-up issues since the installation.

Jon also went above and beyond and graveled our backup parking space because he had extra material.

The whole project was completed faster than I anticipated and completely on budget. I would HIGHLY recommend Land Designs to anyone in Denver. Great job and thank you!

John is a pleasure to deal with. His plant knowledge is extensive and his design eye is superb.

He has done many projects for us to include a paver patio, planting beds, garden design/planting and a French drain system, with several more projects scheduled for this Spring.

I recommend John and his company unreservedly.

How Much Does Deck Building Cost in Ken Caryl, CO

Basic deck designs start around $1,200, with added features and 3D renderings increasing the cost. Final construction pricing depends on your project’s size, materials, and site conditions. Any figures here reflect past projects, your investment may differ. Share your project details and we’ll provide a clear, customized quote.

Five factors that affect price

Size & shape – Larger footprints and complex forms increase material and labor.
Material selection – Composite, hardwood, or steel accents change cost, lifespan, and maintenance.
Height & structure – Elevated decks, stairs, and engineered footings for clay soils add complexity.
Features & utilities – Pergolas, lighting, privacy screens, gas lines, or drainage systems raise investment.
Permits & HOA – Jefferson County permits and Ken-Caryl Ranch approvals influence timelines and soft costs.

FAQs About Deck Building in Ken Caryl, CO

Do I need a permit for a deck here?

Most decks require a Jefferson County building permit, and many neighborhoods in Ken-Caryl Ranch need HOA approval. We handle drawings, submittals, and inspections as part of our professional practice, so you’re never bouncing between departments. You’ll always know what’s approved, what’s pending, and what’s next.

What materials stand up best to Colorado’s climate?

We often recommend high-quality composite decking with hidden fasteners and steel or pressure-treated framing—great against UV, snow, and the freeze–thaw cycle. Hardwood is beautiful, but needs maintenance. We’ll compare options for aesthetics, lifespan, and cost, then select functional elements—railings, lighting, screening—that fit your environment and vision.

How long does a typical project take?

Design and approvals can take a few weeks depending on HOA and permit timing. Once we break ground, most standard decks are built in a matter of weeks. We’ll give you a clear start date, daily updates, and a realistic completion date, then stick to it—weather is our only wild card.

Can you design the deck to integrate with my landscape?

Absolutely. As a landscape architecture firm, we connect the deck to planting, paths, and open spaces so it feels intentional. Think shade from a pergola, privacy from residential gardens, and lighting for visitors and family. It’s about sustainable, functional outdoor spaces that extend your home’s lifestyle—day and night.
