Custom Paver Patios & Walkways
in Arvada & the Denver Area
Custom paver patios, stone walkways and gathering places with a mountain living feel — designed together for the way you live outside, and built to handle decades of Colorado freeze-thaw.
Hardscapes built for
Colorado's real climate
Colorado's outdoor lifestyle demands hardscapes that can handle real weather — blazing summer sun, dramatic temperature swings and hard freezing winters. Colorado Native Landscapes & Design designs and builds paver patios, stone walkways and hardscapes specifically engineered for Colorado's freeze-thaw cycles.
The difference between a patio that looks great for 2 years and one that lasts 30 years comes down to the base preparation, material selection and drainage design. We do it right from the ground up — proper excavation depth, compacted base material, correct sand bed and quality pavers or stone installed with precision.
From intimate front yard walkways to large entertaining patios with built-in seating, fire pits and pergolas, we design every project around how you actually want to live outdoors — not just how it looks in a magazine.

questions
More than a patio —
a gathering place
Our best patios are never just patios. They connect to fire pits and outdoor fireplaces, flow down custom steps past concrete pillars, tuck into retaining walls that turn a slope into usable ground, and glow after dark with integrated lighting. We design the whole space together — as one experience — then build it all at once or in planned phases.
What does a custom patio
project cost?
Most of our patio projects range from $35,000 to $200,000+, depending on size, materials (concrete pavers, flagstone, natural sandstone), site prep, and what the patio connects to — fire features, seat walls, steps, lighting, pergolas. After a site visit, you'll get a detailed proposal with a clear scope and a firm number.

Paver patio questions, answered
What does a paver patio cost in Arvada and the Denver area?
Most of our paver patios are part of complete outdoor living projects starting around $35,000, with final pricing set by size, materials, site access, and features like seat walls, fire pits, and lighting. You’ll receive a clear, itemized proposal after an on-site design conversation.
Are pavers better than stamped concrete for Colorado’s freeze-thaw?
Properly installed pavers have a real advantage in our climate: they flex with freeze-thaw cycles instead of cracking, and a single paver can be replaced without repouring a slab. The difference-maker is the base — we excavate and compact an engineered base so the surface stays level for decades.
How long does a paver patio installation take?
Once the design is finalized and materials arrive, most paver patios and walkways are installed in one to three weeks depending on scope — larger gathering places with walls, steps, or lighting run longer. We build the schedule with you before work begins.
Do you handle design as well as installation?
Yes — we’re a design-build team. The same owner-led crew that designs your patio engineers the base, sets the pavers, and finishes the details, so nothing is lost between the drawing and the finished space.
