Castle Pines, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangFull backyard builds for Castle Pines — fire pits, decks and patios, seating walls and covers, built to keep your ridge and Pikes Peak views. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for Castle Pines
We've built backyards from the city streets of Castle Pines North to the gated estates in the Village — and a backyard up here is special. Castle Pines sits at about 6,400 feet, up in the ponderosa pines, where you can see from Pikes Peak all the way to Mount Blue Sky, and the cool mountain evenings beg for a fire.
So we don't just build a deck and walk away. We build the whole backyard — a place to gather around a fire pit, a spot to cook and eat, seating walls and shade — laid out around your big pines and your view, on footings set deep so the clay can't push them up.
“We were in desperate need of a new deck and patio (and just for fun we decided to throw a custom fire pit into the mix)... The estimate was reasonable and their work was excellent. Our backyard has been transformed and we have John and Janessa to thank for that.”

Most outdoor builds fail here over the soil, the sun, or a skipped permit. We build for all three.
The clay under Castle Pines swells up when it gets wet. That's what pushes a deck or patio up over time. We set the footings down deep to solid ground, so a wet spring can't lift your build.
We size everything for Castle Pines snow, and for the way it freezes cold at night and thaws by day at 6,400 feet. That back-and-forth slowly loosens a build made for warmer places.
Castle Pines sits at 6,400 feet right in Hail Alley, where the sun and hail are hard on a backyard. We use tougher boards and build covers and shade so you can enjoy the space without baking in the sun.
If you're in the City of Castle Pines, the work needs a city permit. If you're in the gated Village, the permit goes through Douglas County and the design review has to approve your plans — fire features included — first. We sort out which one your home is in and handle it.
“Colorado Elite knocked it out of the park. Amazing service and by far the hardest working crew, Derik is the man! Every hole plugged and not a detail overlooked.”

After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from this town are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
On the ridge-top lots you can see all the way from Pikes Peak to Mount Blue Sky. We lay out the whole backyard to face that view and use thin, low railing so it almost disappears — and the view doesn't.
The cool mountain evenings up here beg for a fire. A fire pit or an outdoor fireplace is the heart of most backyards we build — the spot everybody ends up gathering around.
Deck, patio, fire pit, and seating — all built together by one crew, so the pieces fit and you're not lining up three contractors. One plan, one schedule, one backyard you actually use.
Castle Pines is a real ponderosa-pine forest. We lay out the space around the big trees you want to keep, so the pines stay and the backyard works around them.
Built-in seating walls give you a place to sit without hauling out chairs, and an outdoor kitchen means you can cook and eat outside all summer. We add the pieces that fit how you'll use the yard.
In the gated Village, nothing gets built until the design review approves your plans, materials, colors, and any fire features. We've done that paperwork before and handle it for you.

“My wife and I hired John and Janessa to build our deck and fence for our house. Colorado Elite went above and beyond with their flawless work. We are so happy. I would keep recommending them to all my friends and family.”
“These guys are awesome! We have a real estate company and several investment properties. We use them personally and refer them out for decks, fences, barns and sheds and often remodels. Always willing to do what it takes, on time and enthusiastic.”
