Boulder & western foothills
Plan shade around changing ground levels and western views.

Start with the site
Lakewood lies west of Denver toward the foothills. For an outdoor-living project here, the important distinction is the actual site: a level patio, an elevated deck and a sloping yard need different mounting and access discussions.
01
Bring a photo showing the house wall all the way down to the deck or patio. Door clearance, railing height and the position of stairs can limit where an awning or screen housing will fit. A view you want to preserve is worth marking on that photo before comparing fabrics or roof coverage.
02
For a proposed pergola, ask where drainage will discharge and whether it conflicts with steps, walkways or a lower seating area. An adjustable roof is not a substitute for a site-specific drainage and structural review. Discuss attachment conditions before selecting finishes, and obtain the applicable approval requirements for your address.
Read before your consultation
Use the cooler months to plan awning size, mounting, fabrics and installation timing, without relying on promised lead times or a guaranteed spring date.
