Your Colorado backyard,built to be lived in.

We design and build custom patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire features for homeowners along the Front Range — engineered for our soil, our freeze-thaw cycles, and our short but spectacular summers. One team, from first sketch to final stone.

Who we are

Outdoor spaces designed around how you actually live outside.

Summit Ridge Outdoor Living is a Colorado Springs design-build studio focused entirely on the backyard. We handle the whole arc of a project — measuring your site, drawing the layout, pulling permits, setting the base, laying the stone, and planting the last shrub — so you work with one team instead of coordinating five trades.

Every project starts with a conversation about how you want to use the space. Do you want a shaded place to eat dinner after work? A fire feature the family gathers around in October? A kitchen that means you never carry a plate back inside? The plan follows the answer, not the other way around.

We build for the Front Range specifically: expansive clay soils that move with moisture, freeze-thaw cycles that undo shortcuts, and afternoon sun that makes shade a structural requirement rather than a decoration.

What we build

Six disciplines, one continuous backyard.

Most clients start with one element — a patio that floods, a bare stretch of lawn where a kitchen should be — and end up with a space that reads as a single idea. Here's what we design and build in-house.

Hardscape

Custom Patios

Paver, flagstone and poured-concrete patios set on a properly compacted base — because in Colorado, what's under the surface decides whether it still looks level in five years.

Structures

Pergolas & Shade

Cedar, steel and aluminum structures sized to the sun path across your yard. Slatted, louvered or solid-roof — built to handle mountain wind loads.

Kitchens

Outdoor Kitchens

Grills, pizza ovens, smokers, refrigeration and stone counters — plumbed and wired to code, arranged around how you actually cook and serve.

Fire

Fire Features

Gas and wood-burning fire pits, fireplaces and warming walls. Correct clearances, safe gas routing, and heat that reaches the seating instead of the sky.

Grade & Drainage

Retaining Walls

Engineered walls that hold a slope, manage drainage and create usable level ground where the site didn't offer any. Block, stone and boulder construction.

How it works

Five steps from first walkthrough to first fire.

01

Site consultation

We walk your yard, talk through how you want to use it, and talk honestly about what the site allows.

02

Design & rendering

A scaled layout with materials called out, plus a 3D view so you can see the space before committing.

03

Fixed-scope proposal

Line-item pricing tied to the approved design. Changes are quoted before they're built, not after.

04

Construction

Base prep, drainage, structure, stone and utilities — sequenced so the site stays workable throughout.

05

Final walkthrough

We review the finished space together, cover care and seasonal maintenance, and hand over the drawings.

Start with a free on-site consultation.

No cost, no obligation, and no pressure to commit to a design. We'll tell you what your space can realistically become and what it would take to get there.

Where we work

Serving Colorado Springs and the communities around it.

We build within a reasonable radius of Colorado Springs so we can stay hands-on through every phase of a project — not managing it from across the state. If you're nearby and not on this list, ask anyway.
