Outdoor living space that survives Denver hail and high-altitude sun, in stamped, colored or broom finishes.
A concrete patio is the most durable, lowest-maintenance way to build outdoor living space in Colorado. No boards to rot, no pavers to shift and weed up, no annual staining like a wood deck.
We build patios sized and finished for how you actually use the yard, then seal them for our climate.
Hail, intense sun and freeze-thaw all take a toll. We use an air-entrained mix, a compacted base and proper joint spacing, then seal the surface so your patio holds its color and finish for years.
We can tie your patio into a matching walkway, pool deck or fire-pit pad so the whole space reads as one design.
The season is short and it books early. Usable outdoor weather runs roughly May through September, and everyone wants their patio finished before Memorial Day, so the April and early May calendar fills first. If you are thinking about spring, calling in February or March gets you a much better slot than calling in April.
Surface temperature is a real comfort issue at this elevation. Sun at 5,280 feet is intense, and a dark slab on a west or south facing yard gets hot enough to be unpleasant barefoot by late afternoon. Lighter colours stay meaningfully cooler. Worth thinking about before you pick a colour you liked on a sample board indoors.
Drainage matters more than people expect on clay. Water collecting against the house is bad on any soil and worse on expansive clay, which swells when it takes water on. Slope goes away from the foundation, always. This is not a place to compromise for the sake of a level-looking slab.
Freeze-thaw finds the joints first. The slab-to-house transition and the control joints are where water gets in and where damage starts, roughly a hundred cycles a winter. Detailing those correctly is most of what separates a patio that still looks good at year twelve from one that does not.
Size it to furniture, not to a number. A four-person table with chairs pulled out needs about twelve by twelve. Add a grill and a walking lane and you are at twelve by sixteen. Most people who regret their patio size went smaller, not bigger, and the cost per foot drops as the pour gets larger.
The most common request in Broomfield and Highlands Ranch, where a whole generation of houses got the same undersized builder slab.
Two honest things about extensions. The joint between old and new will be visible: we can place it deliberately so it reads as a design line rather than a repair, but it does not disappear. And the colour will not match exactly, because new concrete cures lighter and ages differently than a twenty-year-old slab.
If an invisible result matters more than cost, the answer is replacement, or resurfacing the whole thing after the extension so the entire surface matches.
We'll measure, talk through your options and hand you a fixed written price. No pressure, no hidden charges.
A plain broom patio starts lower; stamped and decorative finishes run $12–$22 per square foot. Size, finish and site prep set the price. We quote on-site for free.
Built right, cracking is minimal and controlled to hidden joint lines. We use reinforcement and correct joint spacing for Colorado's freeze-thaw.
Most patios are 2 to 4 days on site, plus cure time before heavy use.
