Why Choose Christie's For Your Outdoor Living Project
Because The Space Where Colorado Living Happens
Deserves The Right Team

At Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling, we look beyond what you want to build. We look at how your family actually spends time outside, what feels awkward about your current yard, and what would make getting outdoors feel effortless. When you choose Christie’s, you are choosing a team with the experience, clear communication, and proven process to turn an underused backyard into an outdoor space your family reaches for every single season.

What Makes a Great Outdoor Living Space
A Great Outdoor Space
Is More Than How It Photographs
A great outdoor living space should feel like a natural extension of your home from the moment you step outside. It should make weekend hosting easier, give everyone somewhere comfortable to land on a warm evening, and make Colorado summers feel like they are actually yours to enjoy. At Christie’s Design/Build Remodeling, we look at how your family uses the backyard, then bring together the layout, shade, cooking areas, seating, and surfaces that make the space feel livable, inviting, and worth stepping into every day.
.01
Thoughtful Layout
A well-designed outdoor space should move easily from cooking and dining to lounging, even when the whole crew is over.
.02
Shade & Shelter
The right pergola, covered patio, or shade structure keeps your outdoor space comfortable through Colorado’s sunny afternoons and cool evenings.
.03
Built to Bring People Together
From covered patios to open-air dining areas, your outdoor space should give family and friends a natural reason to gather outside.
.04
Finishes That Feel Like Home
Stone, lighting, tile, and built-in details should work together so your outdoor space feels cohesive, comfortable, and unmistakably yours.
Outdoor Living Space Design And Construction Services
Everything Your Outdoor Living Space Needs
To Become Your Favorite Place To Be
An outdoor living space project can transform the entire back half of your home. Christie’s helps Northern Denver and Front Range homeowners rethink how their yards, patios, and decks actually function, from the layout and structure to outdoor kitchens, shade features, lighting, and the finishing details that tie it all together. The goal is not just to add square footage outside. It is to create a space your family genuinely uses, a place that fits the Colorado lifestyle and feels like a natural extension of your home.
Outdoor Space Layout Planning
A Backyard That Finally Works The Way You Actually Live
When your outdoor area feels disconnected, underused, or just awkward to navigate, it tends to go ignored even on beautiful Colorado evenings. Hosting feels uncomfortable, the kids drift back inside, and the potential of that space never gets realized. Christie’s helps Northern Denver homeowners rethink how their outdoor areas are organized so every zone, the cooking area, the seating, the shade structure, the fire feature, flows naturally into the next. Whether that means reconfiguring a patio, building out a deck, or designing an entirely new layout from the ground up, the goal is a backyard that your family actually wants to spend time in.
Outdoor Kitchens & Grilling Stations
Outdoor Kitchens That Make Backyard Entertaining Easy
An outdoor kitchen transforms the backyard from a place you occasionally visit into a space your family actually lives in. Christie’s designs and builds outdoor kitchens tailored to how you cook and entertain, whether that means a built-in grill station with counter space, a full outdoor kitchen with a refrigerator, sink, and bar seating, or a compact grilling area that fits a smaller patio. Every element is selected for Colorado’s climate and your family’s routines. The result is a cooking and gathering setup that makes hosting feel easy and backyard evenings feel a whole lot better.
Patios & Hardscaping
Solid Foundations for Every Season of Colorado Life
The right patio surface sets the tone for everything that happens in your outdoor space. It is where morning coffee turns into conversation, where kids play after dinner, and where friends pull up a chair without being asked. Christie’s helps homeowners select and install patio materials built to handle Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles while still looking sharp year after year. Whether you want a natural stone patio, concrete pavers, or a custom hardscape layout that connects your home to your yard, we design surfaces that are durable, beautiful, and ready for real outdoor living.
Outdoor Lighting & Fixtures
The Lighting Choices That Make Or Break The Evening
Outdoor lighting changes how your space feels the moment the sun starts to set. It can make a patio feel warm and welcoming for evening dinners, highlight the structure and landscaping around it, and keep things functional long after dark. Christie’s looks at how you use your outdoor space throughout the day and evening, then helps bring in the right combination of task lighting near the cooking area, ambient lighting for seating zones, and accent lighting that makes the whole space feel finished. These details are what separate a functional backyard from one that genuinely feels like an outdoor room.
Surfaces, Materials & Finishes
An Outdoor Space That Feels Like It Was Always Part Of The Plan
The materials you choose for your outdoor space are what make it feel cohesive and intentional rather than thrown together. Pavers, decking, stone, stucco, tile, and trim work together to create a look that either connects to your home or competes with it. Christie’s helps Front Range homeowners choose finishes that hold up to Colorado weather, complement the architecture, and feel personal. The result is an outdoor space that looks like it was part of the original design, not an afterthought added in the backyard.

An outdoor living space project involves a lot of moving pieces, but the process should feel straightforward from start to finish. Christie’s Design/Build guides Northern Denver and Front Range homeowners through every phase with honest communication, thoughtful planning, and a team that understands how much this kind of investment matters. From your first conversation to the final walkthrough, our process is built to take the guesswork out and help you enjoy the results sooner.

Initial Consultation
We start with a phone call or an in-person visit to learn what is not working about your current outdoor setup, how your family wants to use the space, and what you hope the project will make possible.

Design & Development
Once you are ready to move forward, we develop the full details of your outdoor living space. This includes the layout, structure, outdoor kitchen configuration, decking or paver selections, lighting plan, shade features, and finish choices. You will be able to see how everything comes together before construction begins, so you feel confident the plan reflects how your family actually wants to use the space.
.04
Permits & Project Preparation
Before construction begins, Christie’s takes care of the behind-the-scenes groundwork that keeps your outdoor project on track. From pulling the right permits and ordering materials to coordinating trades and protecting your property, we make sure everything is lined up so your outdoor living space build can move forward with confidence and minimal disruption.
.05
Outdoor Construction
This is where your outdoor space starts to take shape. Our crews arrive prepared, treat your property with care, and keep things moving with clear communication along the way. We know construction affects your daily routine, especially when it is happening right outside your back door, so our goal is to keep the process organized and as smooth as possible from first day to last.
.06
Final Walk-Through
Once construction wraps up, we walk through your completed outdoor space together and review every detail. This is the moment when all the planning, selections, and hard work become real, a backyard that is ready for summer cookouts, quiet mornings with coffee, Colorado sunsets, and every spontaneous gathering that happens in between.
