Conquering Slopes & Rocky Foothills Soils in Lakewood

Nestled right against Green Mountain and the foothills, Lakewood properties often showcase breathtaking views paired with steep backyard slopes and rocky subsoils.

Unusable sloping yards are one of Lakewood’s most common landscape challenges. Our team specializes in terracing steep slopes with structural retaining walls and cut-and-fill grading, carving out flat, expansive paver living spaces where steep drop-offs once made outdoor enjoyment impossible.

We complement our hardscapes with custom outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and water-wise native plantings that thrive in Lakewood’s rocky, fast-draining soils while holding slopes firmly against erosion.

THE RIDGEWELL CRAFTSMANSHIP STANDARD

Why Lakewood Homeowners Trust Us With Their Yards

We aren't a high-volume franchise. Francisco Garcia founded Ridgewell in 2011 to deliver meticulous craftsmanship, honest communication, and yards built to last.

5-Year Craftsmanship Warranty

We stand behind our work. All paver patios, walkways, and retaining walls built on our aggregate foundations include a 5-year warranty against settling and shifting.

In-House Dedicated Crew

No rotating day-labor or unvetted subcontractors. Francisco Garcia and our experienced full-time team manage every cut, excavation pass, and stone placement personally.

Colorado Climate Engineering

From extreme winter sub-zero freezes to 95° summer heat, our deep aggregate road-base excavation and geotextile separation prevent the frost heave that ruins standard concrete.

Water-Wise Efficiency

Save on high municipal water rates with smart xeriscapes, high-efficiency drip systems, and drought-tolerant native plants that flourish in Colorado's high-altitude climate.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Landscaping & Hardscaping in Lakewood

Helpful answers to common questions about outdoor living projects in your area.

How do you reclaim sloped yards in Lakewood?

We engineer multi-tier retaining walls and terrace systems that turn unusable hillsides into functional, level living terraces for patios, fire pits, and garden beds.

Do you install outdoor kitchens that can withstand cold Lakewood winters?

Yes. All our outdoor kitchens are built with concrete block masonry, natural stone or porcelain veneers, freeze-thaw resistant countertops, and marine-grade stainless steel components with integrated winterization drain valves.
