5 stars are simply not enough. Period. With both the final product and throughout the entire process of getting there, from start to finish Patrick (and his crew) were a showcase in excellence. Honest, fair, organized, easy to work with, and driven by a commitment to the highest level of craftsmanship and quality, it was an absolute pleasure working with these guys. Patrick came strongly recommended from three different, independent sources. We're SO glad we listened. Wow! Thank you Patrick. Thank you Creative Outdoor Living.

Patrick with COL is a skilled and precise craftsman. We were needing a structure to provide shade to our west facing patio to make it habitable during the afternoon sun. Our goal was also not to obstruct the view of the yard and beyond. Patrick listened to our wishes, communicated with us multiple times and came up with a solution to provide both shade and view. His engineering and design also provided capabilities of future improvements. The roof COL installed appears like it was part of our original home. The cost was comparable or less then others and the jobsite was clean and organized daily. The workmen were polite and personable. We would definitely recommend COL for improving your outdoor living.

Patrick did exceptional work on our deck replacement and deck cover project. I quoted 5 builders and Patrick provided the best value with best price and exceptional quality of work. He gave us detailed explanations for the project, what the process would be, and then executed exactly what he told us with no surprises. We are very pleased with the results.

Creative Outdoor Living is the company you should hire. Patrick has decades of experience and knows his stuff. His attention to detail is outstanding and a rare trait these days. I screened four other deck builders and Colorado Outdoor Living listened to what we said, suggested improvements where necessary, and delivered an outdoor space better than we expected, which we use almost every day, on time and on budget. Totally worth the waitlist! Two thumbs up!

When researching options for replacing our deck, the top priority was to find the best quality construction. We wanted quality first and were willing to pay a fair price. We got that with C.O.L. Great experience, from custom design to a beautiful finished product.

How much does a stamped concrete patio cost in Colorado Springs?2026-05-01T18:15:21-06:00

Stamped concrete patio costs in Colorado Springs typically ranges from $15–$30 per square foot, depending on the size, design complexity, site conditions, and prep work required. Features like custom patterns, color treatments, and grading can impact the final price.

At Creative Outdoor Living, the focus is on delivering high-quality stamped concrete patios without luxury-level pricing, so homeowners get long-lasting results without paying for unnecessary overhead. Every project starts with a clear, detailed quote so you know exactly what you’re getting—and what you’re not overpaying for.

What is the best decking material for Colorado Springs weather?2026-05-01T18:14:23-06:00

For Colorado Springs’ intense sun, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles, composite decking like Trex is one of the best long-term options. Unlike traditional wood used for deck construction, Trex decking won’t warp, crack, splinter, or require ongoing staining and sealing.

As an experienced Trex deck builder in Colorado Springs, Creative Outdoor Living installs composite decks designed specifically for durability and low maintenance. The result is a clean, modern outdoor space that holds up to the local climate and looks good year after year with minimal upkeep.

How long does it take to build a stamped concrete patio in Colorado Springs?2026-05-01T18:13:30-06:00

For many projects, poured concrete patios can be completed in as little as one to two weeks, depending on size and weather conditions. This is significantly faster than paver or flagstone patios, which require more labor-intensive installation and can take several weeks to complete. Because poured concrete is installed as a single, continuous surface, the process is more efficient while still delivering a durable, long-lasting result—so you can start enjoying your backyard much sooner without sacrificing quality.

Creative Outdoor Living uses a streamlined process—consultation, design, and build—to keep projects moving efficiently without cutting corners. The goal is simple: deliver a finished outdoor space quickly so you can start using your backyard sooner, instead of waiting months like you might with larger contractors.

How do I choose the right stamped concrete patio contractor in Colorado Springs?2026-05-01T18:12:29-06:00

Choosing the right stamped concrete patio contractor in Colorado Springs comes down to a few key factors: proven local experience, transparent pricing, realistic timelines, and a portfolio of completed work. You also want a contractor who understands how to build for Colorado’s unique climate conditions.

Creative Outdoor Living is led by a local builder with 20+ years of experience, specializing in concrete patio installation in Colorado Springs that’s built to last. Instead of upselling or overcomplicating the project, the focus is on straightforward recommendations, solid workmanship, and results that hold up over time.

Does a stamped concrete patio hold up in Colorado Springs climate?2026-05-01T18:11:30-06:00

Yes—when they’re installed correctly. A properly built stamped concrete patio is designed to handle Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles, high UV exposure, and daily wear and tear without cracking or failing prematurely.

Durability comes down to proper base preparation, quality materials, and experienced installation. Creative Outdoor Living builds stamped concrete patios specifically for local conditions, helping homeowners avoid common issues like cracking, fading, or surface damage. The result is a patio that not only looks great but continues to perform for years.

How long does it take for a Trex deck installation project?2026-05-01T18:25:13-06:00

Trex Deck Installation Timeline in Colorado Springs

Most Trex deck installation projects take 4 to 8 weeks once construction begins, depending on the size, layout, and site conditions. Larger or more complex decks—especially those with stairs, railings, or custom features—can take a bit longer to complete properly.Worker installing wood floor for patio

A professional Trex deck installation also includes planning, permitting (if required), and material prep, which can add to the overall timeline but ensures the deck is built to last in Colorado’s climate.

Trex decking is designed for durability and low maintenance, so while installation may take longer than a basic wood deck, the long-term payoff is fewer repairs and no staining or sealing.

We provide a clear, upfront schedule during your estimate so you know exactly what to expect from your Trex deck installation from start to finish.
