Built for Slopes, Snow & Everyday Use

Hardscapes That Solve Grade and Create Real Places to Be.

Many Broomfield yards have slope, small flat pads or builder-concrete that doesn’t match how you actually want to live outside. The right combination of walls, steps and flat spaces turns a tricky yard into a series of outdoor rooms.

At FRSR, we look at existing grades, drainage paths, downspouts, foundation lines and how snow and rain move through your property. Then we design hardscapes – walls, steps, fire pits and landings – that manage that water correctly and give you usable, comfortable spaces.

Because we also install FieldTurf-based lawns, stamped concrete patios, pergolas & roof covers and outdoor kitchens, your hardscapes are laid out with the whole outdoor living plan in mind from the very beginning.

Hardscape & Outdoor Living Elements

Walls, Steps, Fire Pits, Boulders and More – All Working Together.

Great hardscapes don’t feel like separate pieces. They look and function like they were all designed at the same time. We help you choose the right elements to match your house, your grade and your wish list.

Retaining & Garden Walls

Block, stone or boulder walls to hold grade, create terraces and define planting beds. We design wall height, batter and drainage to handle Colorado soil movement and freeze–thaw cycles.

Seat Walls & Fire Pit Circles

Curved or straight seat walls wrapped around gas or wood-burning fire pits, giving you built-in seating that doesn’t blow away and always looks tidy.

Steps & Transitions

Wide, comfortable steps that connect doors, patios, turf and side yards. We think through tread depth, riser height and rail needs so movement feels natural and safe.

Boulder Work & Outcroppings

Strategic boulder placement for retaining, seating, visual anchors and natural-looking slopes – especially when paired with ColoradoScaping.

Edging, Borders & Pathways

Steel or concrete edging, slab steppers and pathways that guide traffic and keep rock, mulch and turf where they belong.

Fire Features & Gathering Zones

Custom gas or wood-burning fire pits and fireplaces integrated into walls, patios and seat walls to create a true evening destination in your backyard.

Our Design–Build Process

From Sloped Yard to Finished Outdoor Living Space.

Hardscapes touch everything: drainage, access, planting, turf and shade. That’s why having one team design and build the entire plan is so important.

On-Site Walk & Grade Review

We walk your Broomfield yard, note slopes, existing walls, downspouts and problem areas. We also talk about where you naturally want to sit, eat, cook and play so walls and steps support real use.

Design, Layout & Proposal

Next we lay out walls, steps, patios and turf to scale, tying everything into your doors, property lines and utilities. You’ll see how hardscapes connect to shade structures, outdoor kitchens and planting.

Build, Finish & Walkthrough

Our crews handle excavation, base prep, wall construction, compaction and finishes with careful attention to drainage and transitions. At the end, we walk the project with you and review how everything works together.

Built Around the Whole Plan

Hardscapes Integrated with Turf, Concrete & Shade.

A wall in the wrong place can ruin a great patio. A step in the wrong spot can make a beautiful yard feel awkward. We design your hardscapes at the same time as your patios, turf and pergolas so everything lines up.

That means thinking through where you’ll grill, where furniture will sit, where fire pits make the most sense, and how people will move from the back door to the yard. It also means planning your turf seams, irrigation and ColoradoScaping around walls and steps instead of fighting them later.

If you’re comparing lawn options as part of the project, our Colorado Artificial Turf Guide is a great resource while we finalize your hardscape design.

Hardscape & Outdoor Living FAQs

Questions We Hear Most Often in Broomfield.

Every yard is different, but these answers will give you a good sense of what to expect from a hardscape and outdoor living project with FRSR.

Can you fix drainage and slope issues with hardscapes?

Yes. Many Broomfield projects start with drainage problems or unusable slope. We use retaining walls, terraces, swales and proper base prep to manage water and create flat, usable spaces that won’t cause issues later.

Do you handle both design and construction?

We do. FRSR is a design–build company, which means the same team that lays out your hardscapes is responsible for building them. That keeps layout, drainage and finishes aligned from concept through completion.

Can hardscape work be combined with turf and planting?

Absolutely. Most of our favorite projects combine walls, steps, patios, turf, ColoradoScaping and shade structures as part of one coordinated plan.

What about HOA approvals for walls and fire pits?

Many neighborhoods want to see locations, dimensions and materials for visible walls and fire features. We can provide the drawings and product information you need to submit with your application and adjust if your HOA requests reasonable changes.

How long does a hardscape project usually take?

Timelines depend on scope, weather and approvals, but many hardscape-focused projects follow a 2–4 week design and planning window, followed by a clearly scheduled construction phase. We’ll review current lead times during your consultation so expectations are clear.
