Custom paver patios, composite decks, and hardscaping for residential properties throughout Westminster and the north Denver metro. We install outdoor living spaces with proper base preparation, integrated drainage, and materials that handle Westminster’s climate without cracking or settling.
Base Preparation That Prevents Settling
- Excavate to stable soil and remove organic material that decomposes and causes sinking
- Install compacted base material in lifts to create stable foundation for pavers
- Grade base to direct water away from the patio surface and adjacent structures
Drainage Integration From the Start
- Plan drainage before laying the first paver to prevent standing water and ice buildup
- Slope patio surface properly so water moves off instead of pooling in low spots
- Connect patio drainage to yard systems or install separate drainage outlets
Materials Selected for Westminster’s Conditions
- Interlocking pavers from premium manufacturers rated for Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles
- Trex composite decking with reinforced support structures using 6×6 and 8×8 posts
- Edge restraints and joint sand that hold pavers in place through Westminster’s seasonal temperature changes
What Makes Our Westminster Patios Perform Long-Term
Most patio problems start below the surface. Inadequate base prep, poor drainage planning, or skipped compaction steps show up later as settling pavers, standing water, and uneven surfaces that worsen every season. Westminster’s clay-heavy soils hold moisture and shift with the seasons, making proper installation critical. Our outdoor spaces are built to avoid those issues from the start.
- Custom Paver Patios using Keystone, Belgard, Unilock, and premium interlocking pavers with proper edge restraints, compacted base, and integrated drainage
- Composite Deck Installation featuring Trex decking with upgraded support structures designed for longevity and reduced maintenance
- Outdoor Living Spaces including fire pits, seating walls, and outdoor kitchens built on stable foundations
- Walkways and Garden Paths constructed with proper base prep and materials that handle foot traffic without shifting

Why Base Prep Takes Half the Project Timeline
The pavers are the easy part. What takes time is excavating to the right depth, removing unstable soil, bringing in base material, compacting it in layers, and verifying grade and drainage before anything gets laid on top. Westminster’s expansive clay soils make this even more critical. That’s why every patio we install includes:
- 8-12 inches of excavation depending on soil conditions and what needs removal to reach stable ground
- Base material compacted in 2-3 inch lifts rather than dumping the full depth and hoping it holds
- Proper slope built into the base so the finished patio drains at 2% slope away from structures
- Edge restraint installation before pavers go down to prevent spreading and maintain tight joints over time
Skipping these steps saves a few days. It costs you a functional patio in three years when everything starts sinking and separating.
