Pavers and Hardscape Construction in Denver
Pavers and hardscapes last when the base is right. We plan grades, loads and drainage before choosing materials, then build patios, walkways and walls to handle Colorado conditions.
Service scope
What's included
Every project and service request starts with a written scope, so you know what is included before work begins.
- Paver patios and walkways
- Paver driveways
- Retaining walls and steps
- Fire pit and seating areas
- Grading and drainage
- Repair and releveling of existing pavers
Start with grades and loads
A patio, a walkway and a driveway carry very different loads. We size the base and choose pavers for what will travel on them, and set slopes so water runs away from the house.
Coordinate the finished outdoor space
Hardscape often connects to turf, decks, pergolas and lighting. Planning them together means conduit and drainage are in place before the pavers go down.
Retaining walls done properly
Walls need proper footing, drainage and, above certain heights, engineering and permits. We plan them to stay straight for decades.
Local knowledge
Hardscapes for Front Range soils
Expansive clay and freeze-thaw cycles are the main reasons pavers sink and heave in Colorado. A well-compacted base, edge restraint and good drainage are how we prevent that. Call 811 locates come first, and HOA approval may be needed in some neighborhoods.

Questions
Questions and answers
Pavers or concrete?
Pavers cost more up front but are easier to repair and handle movement better. We explain the tradeoffs.
Can you fix sunken pavers?
Yes. We lift, rebuild the base and relay them.
Do retaining walls need a permit?
Walls above a certain height usually do. We check your jurisdiction's rules.
How long does a patio take?
Often one to two weeks depending on size and site access.
