Outdoor living spaces, built like rooms of your home

An outdoor living space is a room without a ceiling — floor, walls, warmth and shade, arranged around the way you actually spend time outside. Roots designs and builds complete outdoor rooms in Englewood and across the Denver metro: one team, one plan, from the first sketch to the last planting.

The pieces of a great outdoor room

• Patios & stoneworkPaver and natural-stone patios laid on properly built bases, sized for dining, lounging and gathering — the floor everything else stands on.
• Fire pits & outdoor fireplacesWood-burning or gas fire features that stretch the Colorado season from early spring to the first snow, and give the yard a natural gathering point.
• Retaining wallsStructural walls that tame slopes and level unusable ground into terraces and seating — engineered for drainage so they stand straight for decades.
• Pergolas & shadeTimber and modern pergolas that define the room, carry lighting and shade the afternoon sun without closing the sky off.
• DecksGround-level and raised decks integrated with the patio and plantings, built as part of the landscape rather than bolted onto it.

Built for Colorado seasons

Front Range weather is hard on outdoor construction: freeze-thaw cycles, expansive soils and intense sun punish shortcuts. Bases are compacted and drained properly, stone and pavers are chosen for freeze-thaw duty, and grades are set so water moves away from your home — not toward it. It's the unglamorous work underneath that decides whether a patio still looks right in ten years.

How a project comes together

Every build starts with a free walkthrough and quote. From there it's a thoughtful design built around your home and lifestyle, constant communication while our design-build team crafts the space, and — if you want it — ongoing care through our maintenance and Property Care programs. Most outdoor rooms combine several crafts: pair this page with our outdoor kitchens, water features and landscape lighting to see the full picture.
