Pergolas, Fire Pits, and Outdoor Lighting

Shade during the day, heat in the evening, and light after dark. The features that get a Denver backyard used instead of looked at.

Use the Yard Longer

Shade, Heat, Light. Then You Stay Out.

Colorado gives you long evenings and cool nights. Without shade, an open patio is unusable from noon to four in July. Without heat and light, it empties out the second the sun drops.

​

These three features are what stretch a backyard from a few good weeks into most of the year.

SHADE

Shade That Survives Snow Load

Built and anchored to handle wind and snow load, sized to the patio underneath so it reads as part of the house rather than something dropped in the yard. We check footing depth and permit requirements before we quote.

HEAT

Fire for the Shoulder Seasons

Stone built pits sized for the seating around them, set at a safe distance from structures and overhead branches. Gas or wood depending on what your municipality allows and how you plan to use it.

LIGHT

Light Aimed at the Ground

Low voltage lighting on paths, steps, walls, and specimen trees. The goal is safe footing and depth after dark, not floodlighting the lawn. Fixtures are placed to keep glare out of sightlines and out of the neighbor's windows.

Build the Base First

Build the Floor First

These features sit on hardscape, so most projects start with a patio or retaining wall. If the surrounding yard is being redone at the same time, the planting and grading work happens in the same phase.

Plan the Whole Space at Once

Shade, fire, and lighting are cheaper to build together than to add one at a time. Let us price the full picture.
