Custom Deck Builder in
Littleton, CO
Transforming Backyards Into Gathering Spaces
As Tekton Outdoor Living’s home base, Littleton, Colorado holds a special place in what we do. We’ve built dozens of projects right here — from modern composite decks in the suburbs to rustic outdoor living spaces in the foothills. Our Littleton decks are designed to fit seamlessly with your home’s character while standing up to Colorado’s changing seasons.
Why Littleton Homeowners Choose Tekton
Littleton offers a mix of established neighborhoods, newer developments, and homes that border scenic foothill views. Whether you’re near downtown Littleton, in Ken Caryl, or nestled closer to the mountains, your deck needs to handle it all — sun, snow, and everything in between. Tekton’s deep local experience ensures your project benefits from proven materials, sound engineering, and craftsmanship built to last.
We’re not just deck builders — we’re your neighbors. And we take pride in building decks that enhance Littleton homes one backyard at a time.

What We Built:
This Littleton home already had a beautiful backyard — but the outdoor space didn’t live up to its potential. The homeowners loved entertaining but were working with an old, uninviting deck that was falling apart. They wanted something warmer, more functional, and truly connected to how they live.
After several design iterations (and one big save for a beloved ash tree), we created a custom deck that wrapped around the existing tree — keeping its shade and character as a centerpiece of the new space. The result is a backyard that feels natural, intentional, and built to bring people together.
Key Features:
Deckorators Voyage Sierra decking with a Dark Slate border
Custom design built around the existing ash tree
Button lighting for soft evening ambiance
White-painted pergola with black decorative hardware
Outdoor kitchen with grill, griddle, and built-in refrigerator
Spa pad for a new hot tub
Large pass-through window by Strutter Windows with granite countertop — connecting the kitchen to the outdoors
Why It Matters:
This project highlights what makes Tekton unique — the ability to adapt design around your lifestyle and environment, not the other way around. Instead of cutting down the tree, we made it part of the experience.
Now, this Littleton family has a space that celebrates the outdoors, connects seamlessly to their home, and invites everyone to gather — under the shade of the same tree they couldn’t imagine losing.
What We Built:
This Littleton home faced a common Colorado challenge — a south-facing backyard that received full sun all day. The homeowners loved the open feel but needed relief from the heat without losing the light.
To strike the perfect balance between sun and shade, we built a Western Red Cedar pergola, stained with a shingle oil finish to enhance the wood’s natural tones and bring out its warmth and texture. The result is a space that’s bright, comfortable, and connected to nature year-round.
Why It Matters:
Colorado’s high-altitude sun can make outdoor spaces tough to enjoy in the summer. This custom pergola solution lets the homeowners enjoy their backyard throughout the day — keeping things cool and shaded while preserving the natural light they love.
Simple, beautiful, and built to last — the kind of thoughtful design that makes outdoor living feel effortless.
