Hard to Beat Hardscape… but Why Choose?
We’re known for our natural wood decks However, decks aren’t the only way DeckTec creates stunning outdoor living environments. One aspect of our work that has increased in demand is our paver patio designs. For years, DeckTec has done more deck and patio combinations than any other company. Similar to our wood decks, we prefer natural materials for our patios. We believe the authentic stone blocks provide the most elegance and appeal. Additionally, the larger, interlocking stones handle settling and expanding Colorado soil much better than a static patio material.

To his surprise, he found that DeckTec had anticipated the storm and made arrangements to clear a path through the feet of snow so that the job could start[...]

We Demand S’more!
Warm, gooey, crunchy s’mores are staples of camping trips and backyard BBQs stretching decades. Early recipes of the campfire treat first appeared in Boy and Girl Scout publications in the 1920s. Over time the unique blend of flavors has been incorporated into everything from pop tarts, ice cream, craft beer, even English muffins!
