Concrete Patio, Redwood Deck, and Pergola Design in Brighton

The Schultz Project in Brighton was designed to create a backyard that combines the durability of concrete with the warmth and character of natural wood. A gray concrete patio provides a clean, low-maintenance hardscape surface that anchors the outdoor space and creates a functional area for everyday use and gathering.

Adjacent to the patio, a redwood deck with rails adds another layer of outdoor living space while introducing a rich natural material that contrasts beautifully with the concrete. The deck creates a more elevated and comfortable transition from the home to the backyard while adding visual warmth and structure to the overall design.

A natural cedar pergola completes the project by defining the main outdoor living area and adding architectural interest, partial shade, and a stronger sense of enclosure. Together, the gray concrete, redwood deck, and pergola create a balanced Brighton backyard that feels polished, functional, and built for long-term enjoyment in Colorado’s climate.
