Larkspur, CO · Family-owned
Owner-built by Jon & Janessa LangFire pits, outdoor kitchens, seating walls, covered patios, and full backyard builds — outdoor rooms built to frame your Larkspur view and stand up to heavy snow and the pines. Built by Jon & Janessa Lang.
Built for Larkspur
We've built outdoor spaces from the red rocks of Perry Park to the golf homes at Bear Dance and the one-acre lots of Sage Port — and up here, your backyard isn't a small city patio. It's big, treed acreage at 6,700 to 7,000 feet, with views of Pikes Peak, Devil's Head, and the Perry Park red rocks. We build outdoor rooms that frame that view, not block it.
The trick up here is the weather and the pines. Heavy Palmer Divide snow will crush a flimsy cover, and the ponderosa pines mean fire pits and fireplaces have to be placed and built smart. We design for all of it — so you get a backyard you actually use, three or four seasons a year.
“We were in desperate need of a new deck and patio (and just for fun we threw a custom fire pit into the mix)… Our backyard has been transformed and we have John and Janessa to thank for that.”

Most backyard builds up here run into the same four things: the snow, the pines, the rocky ground, and the well and septic. We build for all of them.
You're up high, so the snow piles deep — 75 to 90 inches a year, more than down in town. Above 6,000 feet a roof has to hold a very heavy snow load. We engineer every covered patio and pergola to carry it, so your outdoor room stands up all winter.
Your home sits in the ponderosa pines, so a fire pit or fireplace has to be done right. We set fire features on stone, place them a safe distance from the house, trees, and decking, and help keep a clear, safe space around your home. Douglas County even helps pay to clear brush.
In Perry Park, Bear Dance and Sage Port the whole reason you bought the land is the view — Pikes Peak, Devil's Head, and the red rocks. We lay out seating walls, fire features, and covered patios with low walls and open sight lines, so the view stays the star.
The ground here is red rock, clay, and hard decomposed granite, so we dig footings down to solid ground. Permits come from Douglas County (303-660-7497), not a town. And before we dig, we find and mark your well, septic tank, and leach field. We handle all of it.
“The inspector was impressed by their system and mentioned this deck is built to withstand a hurricane.”

After a few hundred Front Range builds, the requests from up here are predictable in the best way. Odds are yours is on this list — and we've already solved it.
Folks want a fire pit to gather around on a cool mountain night, but they're surrounded by ponderosa pines. We build it on stone, set it a safe distance from the house, trees, and decking, and keep a clear, safe space around it — so it's the good kind of fire.
Out on acreage you cook for a crowd. We build outdoor kitchens with a built-in grill, counters, and storage, and we mark your well and septic lines before we run gas or water — so the kitchen never lands on a buried line.
In Perry Park, Bear Dance and Sage Port the view is everything. We build low seating walls in stone that ring a fire pit and give everyone a place to sit — low enough that Pikes Peak, Devil's Head, and the red rocks stay in full sight.
Folks call after a flimsy cover sagged under a heavy Palmer Divide snow. We build covered patios and pergolas engineered for the snow up here, so you get shade in summer, shelter from the storms, and a solid roof all winter.
A lot of folks want a fire pit, an outdoor kitchen, seating walls, and a covered patio all together as one outdoor room. One family-owned crew, one schedule, one bill — and it all matches when we're done.
Most acreage homes here run on a well and septic. Before we dig a single footing or fire-pit base, we find and mark your well, tank, and leach field — so a new outdoor space never lands on a line.

Real, verified reviews from real Colorado yards. The same names come up again and again: Jon, Janessa, and a crew that takes pride in the details.
“We were in desperate need of a new deck and patio (and just for fun we threw 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.”
“After researching several local companies, they were the clear winner. While they were not the cheapest, the quality of their work far exceeded the cost. Their attention to detail and extraordinary craftsmanship were evident in every square inch.”
“Jon also designed a very creative and functional privacy wall for us. After hiring him, he was extremely communicative and on top of it. He built a cozy deck for us and completely delivered on all his promises. We enjoy it every day!”
