Outdoor Living Spaces Built for Wheat Ridge Homes

Wheat Ridge yards come in all shapes and slopes. Some have mature trees, others have open sun, and each needs a slightly different approach. We start by looking at your property, how water drains, how you move through the space, and what you want to use it for. From there, we design a layout that feels balanced and holds up year after year.

We show every design in 3D before work begins, so you can see the plan clearly and make confident decisions. Our team handles construction with precision, keeps the site clean, and communicates throughout. The goal is a finished outdoor space that feels like a natural part of your home that’s built to perform and not just to impress.

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!
