Hardscaping in Ken Caryl, CO
Turn “nice yard” into “let’s sit out here” - patios that invite, walkways that make sense, walls that feel built-in and a fire that keeps the night going.
Thinking about a paver patio that drains the right way, a retaining wall that stays put, and a layout that feels like it was always part of your yard? We start by reading your property—slope, soil, those Colorado freeze–thaw swings—then share clear 2D and 3D plans so there’s no guesswork.
Pricing is straightforward, the site stays tidy, and our work is covered by a 5-year workmanship warranty. We also handle permits, utilities, and code compliance, so you can focus on how good that first summer evening is going to feel.
- Size & layout – Larger footprints, L-shapes, or U-shapes require more framing, countertops, and utility runs.
- Appliances & fuel – Premium grills, side burners, smokers, refrigerators, and a sink (with hot/cold) add cost—especially with gas/electric plumbing.
- Materials & finishes – Stone veneer, porcelain, or Dekton-style countertops outlast basic options but increase material and fabrication costs.
- Utilities & permitting – Trenching for gas/electric/water, GFCI circuits, and local code approvals add time and trade labor.
- Site conditions & access – Slopes, retaining, drainage, or tight access can require additional prep and equipment.

The entire Land Designs by Colton team is amazing and we really enjoyed working with Flavia and Colton. We had french drains installed as well as some landscaping in our front yard and we are so happy with the results.
The team is professional, prompt, and kind. Can’t recommend them enough!!!

Land Designs by Colton were great. I was really trying to cut down the cost a little as well as utilize plants already on the property. They met with me several times to help meet my needs and requests.
The husband wife duo work really well together!
Furthermore, the individuals that did the installation were wonderful and did such a great job!
Thank you!
Hardscaping Costs: What to Expect
Every yard is different, so pricing depends on scope and site conditions.
We price line-by-line and explain the “why” behind each number. Share your must-haves and we’ll shape a design that meets the budget without cutting corners that matter.
What drives price (and why):
- Size & complexity – Bigger patios, curves, steps, and mixed patterns add labor and materials.
- Materials – Concrete pavers vs. flagstone, natural stone caps, and upgraded polymeric sand affect durability and cost.
- Base & drainage – Proper excavation, compacted base, geotextile, and grading keep surfaces stable through freeze–thaw.
- Walls & structures – Retaining height, footings, and engineering (when required) add blocks, caps, and reinforcement.
- Access & prep – Tight side yards, hauling distance, tree roots, or demo work can increase time on site.
Budget-Friendly & On-Time Completion
We plan thoroughly, price clearly, and schedule realistically—so there are no “surprises” hiding in the shrubs.
We know timelines and budgets matter, and we build to them while delivering some of the best hardscaping in Ken Caryl, CO.
On budget:
Spread a quality patio over 10–15 years of use and the “per day” cost often lands below a coffee run—except this upgrade adds resale value and real daily comfort. We’ll prioritize must-have items first (patio + steps) and phase extras (seating wall, lighting) so the numbers make sense.
On time:
We lock materials early, sequence trades, and keep the site clean from excavation to final sweep. You’ll get clear updates, firm milestones, and a finish date we aim to beat—not excuse. When we leave, the patio’s swept, edges are tidy, and you’re ready to set the chairs.

FAQs About Hardscaping in Ken Caryl, CO
How do you make patios last through freeze–thaw cycles?
We excavate to the right depth, install geotextile where needed, compact a graded aggregate base, and set pavers with proper edge restraint. Drainage is planned from day one—falls away from the house, tight joints, and polymeric sand. Done right, surfaces stay level and shed water instead of fighting it.
Pavers, concrete, or flagstone—what should I choose?
It depends on look, budget, and maintenance. Pavers offer consistent color, easy repairs, and strong warranties. Stamped concrete is seamless but cracks are harder to fix. Flagstone gives a natural look with more variation and labor. We’ll show you side-by-side samples and price impacts so the choice feels easy.
Do retaining walls need engineering?
Short garden walls usually don’t; taller walls, terracing, or walls supporting loads often do. When required, we involve an engineer, specify proper base, drainage rock, fabric, and geogrid, and follow manufacturer specs. It’s not just about holding back soil—it’s about moving water and relieving pressure safely.
How long does a typical project take?
Small patios can be a few days; larger builds with steps, seating walls, or utilities take a couple of weeks, depending on access and weather. We’ll give you a schedule before we start and update you as we hit each milestone—so you always know what’s next.
