Meet Your Backyard Builder, Eric Van Dixhorn


I'm Eric Van Dixhorn and my wife, Ashley, and I are the proud owners of Archadeck of Northern Colorado! With a background in structural engineering, I’ve spent much of my career building bridges and managing large infrastructure projects for a heavy-highway general contractor.


Here at Archadeck, I’m thrilled to bring my love for construction, project management, and design to your backyard. Helping homeowners create their perfect outdoor oasis is truly rewarding. I’m committed to guiding my clients through the delicate balance between functionality, their wish list, and budget, ensuring a satisfying and successful project.


When I’m not working, you can usually find me enjoying the great outdoors—whether it's mountain biking at Horsetooth Mountain Open Space, coaching my son’s soccer team, or camping with our three kids and dog in the beautiful landscapes of Colorado.


I can't wait to bring your backyard dreams to life.
