Paver patios and hardscaping in Wellington
Patios, paths and parking pads for Wellington's newer neighborhoods and larger lots north of Fort Collins.
Wellington is a statutory town about 10 miles north of Fort Collins and the northernmost Colorado town on I-25. It's grown fast as a bedroom community for Fort Collins, from 6,289 residents in 2010 to 11,047 at the 2020 census. At about 5,194 feet, it sits a little higher than Fort Collins, on open plains with long views and not much shade.
What do Wellington homeowners ask for?
- Patios and pergola pads to create shade on open lots
- Paver pads beside the driveway for a trailer, camper or extra car
- Walkways from the driveway to the back gate
- Phased projects that start small and grow over a few seasons
Planning a yard in phases
Many Wellington homes were built in the last two decades, and owners often finish the yard a piece at a time. If you think you'll want a fire feature, a path or a parking pad later, tell the contractor now. They can set grades and drainage for the full plan so later phases tie in cleanly and water doesn't end up trapped between sections.
Open ground and exposure
With few trees to break wind or sun, lighter paver colors stay cooler in summer, and anything tall, like a pergola, needs solid footings. Footings should reach below the 30-inch minimum frost depth that applies across Larimer County. Check with the Town of Wellington about permits for structures and gas appliances.
Common questions

Can pavers handle a camper or trailer pad?
Yes, when the base is built for the weight. Tell the contractor what you'll park so they can size the base.
