Duration
Multi-phase build

A plain townhome backyard became a full outdoor entertaining space — a rich hardwood deck, a built-in grill station, a pergola, stamped concrete, and a cast-in-place concrete bar.

Small urban yards demand the most from a design. We used every foot of this Denver townhome lot, layering a hardwood deck, a stamped-concrete patio, an outdoor kitchen, and a pergola into one connected space — handling the grading, utilities, concrete, carpentry, and finishes from start to finish.

The Starting Point

A blank townhome backyard

The yard started as flat grass and tired edging with no real place to gather — a clean slate with tight access to work around.

Sitework

Graded, trenched, and prepped

We graded the yard, trenched in gas and water for the outdoor kitchen, and poured new concrete to build on — the groundwork that makes everything above it last.

Outdoor Kitchen

A built-in grill station

We framed and plumbed a built-in outdoor kitchen with a gas grill and counter space — a real cooking station, run to code and built into the deck.

Pergola

Shade and structure overhead

A cedar pergola frames the patio and adds shade and vertical structure, giving the open yard a sense of room and enclosure.

Surfaces

Hardwood decking and stamped concrete

A rich hardwood deck and a stamped, colored concrete patio define the two main zones of the yard — warm underfoot and built for Colorado weather.

Custom Concrete

A cast-in-place bar and bench

We formed and cast concrete counters and seating on site, tying the outdoor kitchen and patio together with durable, custom surfaces.

The Result

A backyard built for entertaining

What was empty grass is now a complete outdoor living space — deck, patio, kitchen, and pergola — that makes a small lot feel like an extra room of the home.
