A small Colorado company that takes the long view.
Diamond Blazer Outdoors was founded in Cascade in 2011 by Brandon McCarthy. Fourteen years and 620+ projects later, we still answer the phone ourselves and we still finish every job with a written warranty.
From one truck in Cascade to three crews across the Pikes Peak region.
Brandon McCarthy grew up working summers on his uncle's hardscape crew in southern Ohio. After a decade of building patios and porches in the Midwest, he moved his family to Cascade in 2010 and immediately noticed how few local outfits really understood high-altitude soil, freeze-thaw cycles, and the way a Colorado afternoon storm tests every piece of flashing on a porch.
Diamond Blazer Outdoors started in 2011 with one truck, one apprentice, and a simple promise: fixed pricing, written warranties, and a clean job site every night. The team has grown to three small crews — but the promise hasn't changed.
We are deliberately a regional company. Almost every project we take is within a 35-mile drive of our shop on Pikes Peak Highway, which means our foremen can swing by your property a year, three years, or five years later if anything ever needs attention.
Four values, written down because they matter.
Integrity
Fixed-price quotes. Written warranties. Honest answers when a project isn't a fit for us.
Craftsmanship
We hire slowly, train in-house, and we'd rather lose a job than rush the work.
Reliability
We show up when we say we will. If weather or supply changes that, you hear it from us first.
Local
We live, hire, and shop here. Our crews are W-2 employees, not day labor.
Licensed, insured, and accountable.
