Built to Last in Your Outdoor Space
Custom woodworking services in northern colorado for fences, pergolas, gates, and more
When you need a fence that follows the exact slope of your yard or a pergola built to cast shade over your patio during afternoon heat, you need work done by someone who understands how wood responds to Northern Colorado conditions. Valencia Landscape builds fences, gates, pergolas, gazebos, privacy screens, garden beds, railings, ramps, porches, and decks that hold up through freeze-thaw cycles and summer sun.
Each structure is custom-built to match your property layout and design preferences. Whether you want to block a sightline from the street, add seating around a fire pit, or create raised planting areas, the design starts with how you use your yard. Materials are selected for durability in Johnstown weather, meaning fewer repairs and longer service life. Woodworking installations are frequently paired with hardscapes and turf to create cohesive outdoor areas.

What Gets Built and How It Fits
Your project begins with a site visit to measure the space, assess grade and drainage, and confirm placement of posts or footings. In Windsor and surrounding areas, soil compaction and frost depth both influence how structures are anchored. Pergolas are typically set with concrete footings, while fences may use a combination of post anchors and gravel depending on terrain.
Once the structure is in place, you will notice defined edges where there were none before. A new fence line stops wind and adds separation. A pergola casts patterned shade that moves with the sun. Garden beds create planting zones at a comfortable working height. Privacy screens block views without closing off light.
All fasteners and finishes are chosen to resist moisture and UV exposure. Structures can be stained, sealed, or left to weather naturally depending on your preference. The work is coordinated with other site improvements when applicable, so grading, irrigation, and landscaping align with the new woodwork.
Questions People Ask Before They Build
Homeowners often want to know what is possible on their specific lot, how long the work will take, and what kind of upkeep to expect once the structure is finished.
What types of wood are used for outdoor structures?
Cedar and pressure-treated pine are the most common. Cedar resists rot naturally and weathers to a silver-gray tone. Pressure-treated lumber is more affordable and holds up well when sealed or stained regularly.
How long does it take to build a fence or pergola?
Most fences take one to three days depending on length and terrain. Pergolas and gazebos typically require two to four days including footings, framing, and finishing. Weather and site access can affect timing.
What maintenance is required after installation?
You should inspect fasteners and joints annually and reapply stain or sealant every two to three years if you want to preserve the original color. Untreated wood will fade and may develop surface cracks but will still remain structurally sound.
Can structures be built on sloped or uneven ground?
Yes. Fences can be stepped or racked to follow grade changes, and pergolas can be built on leveled footings even when the surrounding yard slopes. Site grading may be adjusted as part of the project.
How are posts set to prevent shifting or leaning?
Posts are typically set in concrete below the frost line, which is around 36 inches in Northern Colorado. Gravel is added at the base for drainage, and the concrete is sloped at the top to shed water away from the wood.
