YOU ALREADY HAVE THE SPACE

Let’s give you
a reason to use it.

Maybe the patio is too small for the table. Maybe the slope eats up half the yard. Or maybe you’re starting with bare ground and don’t know where to begin.

You don’t need to figure it out alone. We’ll look at the whole space, listen to what matters to you and build a plan that makes the pieces work together.

As a Denver hardscape and landscape contractor, Ridgewell handles both sides of the project: the patios, walls and fire features that give a yard its structure, and the planting and irrigation that make it feel like part of your home.

HARDSCAPING IN DENVER, CO

Built for Front Range soil, sun and snow.

A patio or wall that looks good on day one is the easy part. Building one that still sits flat and drains properly after years of Colorado winters is where an experienced hardscape contractor earns its place.

Denver’s clay-heavy soils, freeze-thaw cycles and intense high-altitude sun are hard on outdoor surfaces. That’s why every Ridgewell project starts below the surface: grading, drainage and a properly compacted base come first, then the pavers, stone and finishes you’ll see every day.

One residential hardscape contractor for the whole yard

Many homeowners call us about one problem, such as a sinking patio or a slope they can’t use, and end up with a plan that ties the whole yard together. Because Ridgewell is a landscape and hardscape company, the patio, retaining walls, fire pit, planting and irrigation can be designed as one project instead of several jobs with different crews.

A backyard makeover in Denver, done in the right order

A full backyard makeover usually combines structure (patios, walkways and walls), comfort (shade, fire and outdoor cooking) and softscape (plants, mulch and water-wise irrigation). We sequence the work so each part supports the next, and so you always know what happens next.

Design, communication and the finished result.
Here’s what mattered to them.

★★★★★

“They are the best. We have a small backyard and needed it to reflect a relaxing and enjoyable space. Chris used our ideas and came up with the perfect design. Then Francisco came with the cost projections and worked to accommodate our budget. He and his team then used their considerable construction expertise to create a space that’s an extension of our home where we spend a lot of time. Thank you for creating such a welcoming space.”

Jane Linares
★★★★★

“I am new to Colorado and hired Chris and Francisco to design and implement a plan for my new build house. From design to finish and followup they were beyond my expectations. They are in constant contact throughout the project and their crew is very hardworking. They followup when the project is finished and are always available for whatever questions you may have. I would highly recommend them, and I get many complements on the work they have done for me.”

Karen Wentz
★★★★★

“We were thrilled with the end result of our brick paver patio refurbishment. We hired Chris, Francisco and their team to fix our sinking brick paver patio. It had been installed by a different landscaper, and after only 2 years it was collapsing. Boo hiss! Ridgewell Landscape and Design came in and saved the day! They discovered the original installation was done incorrectly, and that’s why it was collapsing. Their team worked hard and got the project done quickly and professionally. We are thrilled with the look and finish of the job! Bravo!!”

QUESTIONS DENVER HOMEOWNERS ASK

Hiring a hardscape contractor in Denver.

Straight answers about how we work, what it costs and where we build.

What does a hardscape contractor do?

A hardscape contractor builds the non-living parts of a landscape: paver patios, walkways, retaining walls, steps, fire pits, outdoor kitchens and pergolas. Ridgewell also handles the living parts, such as planting, irrigation and xeriscaping, so your hardscape and landscape are planned together.

How do I choose the best hardscape contractor in Denver?

Look for a contractor who explains the groundwork, not just the finish: how the site will be graded and drained, how deep the base will be and how it will be compacted. Ask who designs the project and who builds it, what the warranty covers and how payments are scheduled.

Ridgewell keeps design and installation in-house, backs pavers with a 5-year warranty and takes the final payment only after you’re satisfied with the finished project.

Are you a landscaping company or a hardscape company?

Both. Ridgewell is a Denver landscaping company with deep hardscape experience. Many projects combine a patio or retaining wall with new planting beds, irrigation or a water-wise xeriscape, and one team designs and builds all of it.

How much does a backyard makeover cost in Denver?

It depends on size, materials, access and site conditions such as slope and drainage, so we price every project from a design rather than a guess. After the design review you’ll receive a detailed quote, typically within five days, often with good, better and best options. For typical ranges, see our Denver paver patio cost guide.

Why do homeowners rate Ridgewell among the top landscapers in Denver?

Our reviews tend to mention the same things: a design built around their ideas, clear cost projections, steady communication during the build and follow-up after the project is finished.

Which areas do you serve?

We serve Denver and the Greater Denver Metro, including Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Parker, Lakewood, Arvada, Broomfield and Brighton. See all of our service areas.

What warranty do you offer?

Pavers are covered by a 5-year warranty and irrigation systems by a 1-year warranty. We’ll walk you through the coverage for your project before work begins.
