Services
Concrete Edging
Our concrete edging creates permanent landscape boundaries that withstand Colorado's extreme weather. Using a proprietary cement mix, we install custom-designed borders that prevent soil erosion and eliminate maintenance issues associated with plastic or metal edging. The solution integrates seamlessly with irrigation systems while enhancing property aesthetics through color and texture options.
Concrete Pathways
Durable concrete pathways combine functionality with visual appeal for residential and commercial properties. Our installations use climate-specific formulations to resist cracking from freeze-thaw cycles. Available in multiple finishes including stamped patterns and exposed aggregates, these pathways provide safe, long-lasting surfaces that complement architectural styles across Colorado's Front Range.
Retaining Walls
Engineered retaining walls address elevation changes while preventing soil erosion. Constructed with reinforced concrete and integrated drainage systems, these structures stabilize slopes and create usable terraced spaces. Our designs balance structural integrity with aesthetic elements like textured finishes and decorative caps to enhance landscape functionality.
Flagstone Installation
Concrete flagstone installations offer the natural stone look with enhanced durability. We create custom patios, walkways, and outdoor living areas using climate-resistant materials that withstand Colorado's temperature extremes. Options include permeable jointing systems and integrated features like fire pits and seating walls for complete landscape transformations.
Commercial Landscaping
Tailored commercial solutions enhance property appeal while reducing maintenance costs. Our services include large-scale edging installations, durable walkways, and erosion control systems designed for high-traffic areas. Projects incorporate ADA-compliant accessibility features and integrate with existing infrastructure to create professional, long-lasting commercial landscapes.

Questions
How do you handle existing irrigation systems during installation?
We adjust sprinkler heads by reshaping beds, relocating heads, or raising them to accommodate new borders without disrupting irrigation functionality.
Can concrete edging withstand Colorado's weather extremes?
Our proprietary cement alloy with specialized admixtures resists cracking from freeze-thaw cycles and UV degradation, proven through 23 years of local performance.
Is sealing required for concrete installations?
Most projects include protective sealant in the package, though periodic reapplication every 2-3 years is recommended to maintain optimal protection against Colorado's climate.
Do installations require permits?
Small-scale residential projects typically don't need permits, but commercial installations or those affecting public areas may require local approvals through municipal building departments.
What maintenance is needed?
Annual inspections, biennial cleaning, and sealant renewal every 3 years maintain appearance. Address cracks promptly and adjust sprinklers to prevent water contact with edges.

Report
Several years ago, we had Chad and his crew do our edging. They did an excellent job, and it still looks great. Two years ago, they did our concrete driveway and front walk way. They did a fantastic job. The crew was courteous and worked quickly. I received several bids, and their pricing was competitive.
