Stone that sits right. Yards that drain. Builds that belong on the lot.

SANTILLAN CONSTRUCTION INC works Denver and the Front Range: veneer and cladding, landscape and hardscape, walls and drainage on country lots. We price after we walk the site — not from a photo.

Three trades. One crew sequence.

Most yards fail where stone meets dirt or where a wall meets water. We keep those joints in one plan.

Stone

Veneer, cladding, fireplaces, and interiors detailed for freeze-thaw — not a sticker of rock.

Landscape

Patios, native planting, walls, and drainage that match Colorado clay and dry summers.

Hillside retaining wall and native planting

Site & drainage

Retaining walls, gravel, pipe, and grade on lots we have actually stood on — not a pretty face with water behind it.

How the work goes

No marketing funnel. Four steps from the first walk to the last broom.

Walk the site

Measure, substrate, slope, access, and weather exposure.

Set the scope

Written proposal: materials, prep, and what is not included.

Build the work

Same contact from first stone to last joint. Yard protected.

Walk it again

Punch list, care notes, and a clean site before we leave.

On the job

Process photos — measuring, lath, setting stone, grout, planting.

Measuring a patio layout — Layout and measure before any mortar.

Scratch coat on metal lath — Lath and scratch coat so stone has something to grip.

Setting veneer pieces — Pieces set like a puzzle, corners first.

Grouting stone joints — Joints filled and haze wiped the same day.

Xeriscape planting — Native plants after the hardscape is locked.

Selected work

Denver metro and nearby — courtyards, ranch facades, outdoor kitchens, hillside walls, country lots.
