An uneven patio. An awkward slope.
Nowhere to bring everyone together.

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.
Fix the part that frustrates you.
Or rethink the whole outdoor space.
Replace an awkward or uneven patio with a paver patio made for gathering.
Give a sloped yard structure and usable levels, with drainage planned from the start.
Keep the cooking, conversation and company in one place with a custom grill island.
Gather around a gas or wood-burning fire when the evening cools down.
Give an exposed patio shade and a defined place to sit, eat and unwind.
Bring the planting, paths and outdoor living spaces together in one landscape plan.
Trade lawn upkeep and high water bills for a thoughtful, water-wise landscape.
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.
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 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.
A new outdoor space is a serious investment. You deserve to understand the design, the choices and the work before you commit.
A custom outdoor space starts with
a straightforward conversation.
Start with a free, in-person consultation. We look at the space and listen to what you want to change.
Francisco and the team develop a custom design around your property and priorities.
Review the design and material choices. A detailed quote follows, typically within five days of the design review.
The scope, contract and project timeline are agreed before the work begins.
Review the finished project with the team. Final payment follows your satisfaction with the completed project.
Payment schedule: 50% on the first day of work, 25% at approximately 75% completion, and the final 25% at completion and your satisfaction.
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.”
“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.”
“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!!”

What a paver patio costs in Denver per square foot, typical 12×12 and 20×20 patio prices, and what drives the price.
Compare cost, freeze-thaw durability, stamped concrete and maintenance to choose the right patio for your home.
Why pavers sink, how to fix them step by step, and how to stop it happening again after Colorado winters.
Straight answers about how we work, what it costs and where we build.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
We serve Denver and the Greater Denver Metro, including Aurora, Centennial, Littleton, Parker, Lakewood, Arvada, Broomfield and Brighton. See all of our service areas.
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.
