Good, better, best: the three brands we install most for Castle Rock projects, and where each one earns its place.

Better
A step up in finish: crisper color, engineered stain resistance, and stronger surface performance through repeated freeze-thaw. Unilock covers both modern and traditional looks for homeowners who want a more refined result.
Best
The designer tier: HD2 surface technology and sharp contemporary textures that hold their color for years. As a certified Techo-Bloc contractor, we install it when the project calls for a top-end result.
The pattern is the part you see. The performance comes from everything underneath it, which matters most on rocky or clay-heavy Castle Rock ground.
3/4-inch angular gravel is compacted in lifts and screeded dead flat with string lines. On rocky or clay-heavy Castle Rock ground, this base is what actually carries the drainage and stability the finished surface depends on.
Pavers are set one at a time against string lines so courses run straight across the whole patio. Even joint spacing leaves room for jointing sand, which locks the field together through winter freeze-thaw.
A tight, level field with clean borders and smooth transitions into turf, steps, or the surrounding beds. Because the base and joints do the real work, the surface is built to hold its lines through decades of Castle Rock seasons.
A paver patio rarely stands alone. Fire features and seat walls turn it into a gathering space, walkways connect it to the rest of the yard, and on Castle Rock's sloped lots retaining walls step it cleanly into the grade. We design the surface around how you will actually use it: dining, evening fires, play space, or all three.
Because a Castle Rock lot often carries real grade change, the patio footprint and any retaining work are usually decided together, before fire features, lighting, or planting close in around the finished slab.
Because a paver patio is hardscape, not lawn, it does not count against the town's new-build turf limit, which makes it a practical way to add usable outdoor space beyond the capped 500-square-foot backyard lawn. On sloped or hillside lots, the compacted angular-gravel base and joint-sand system described above matter more than the pattern you pick, since freeze-thaw and rocky ground put real stress on anything built without it.
Many Castle Rock master-planned communities review exterior changes through an HOA, and a patio is commonly part of that submittal. We provide the layout and material selections in a form you can hand to your association, and if the plan grows to include a fire feature or retaining work, we scope those requirements during design.
Certification supports informed product selection and installation planning for paver patios, walkways, and connected outdoor living spaces.
View our Techo-Bloc contractor profileA properly based and edge-restrained paver patio is built to hold its lines through repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Because individual pavers can be lifted and re-set, small settling issues on rocky or clay-heavy ground are a repair, not a full replacement, unlike a poured slab.
Budget and the look you want drive the decision more than the town does. Belgard is the reliable value option, Unilock steps up finish and freeze-thaw performance, and Techo-Bloc is the premium designer tier. We bring samples to the estimate.
Yes. On a lot with real grade change, the base depth and drainage route are set for the actual slope rather than a flat-lot assumption, and steps or a retaining solution may be part of the same project.
No. Paver patios and walkways are hardscape, not lawn, so they are not counted against the town's backyard turf cap. Many homeowners use paver space to make up for the limited live-grass area.
Many master-planned communities here operate design review for visible exterior work. Requirements are property-specific, so we help document the proposed layout and material for that review.
We will measure the site, check the ground, and give you a straight answer on scope and cost.
