Deck design considerations

We desire to make this whole process easy for you and ultimately construct the gorgeous deck you have been hoping for. Here are a few items that we feel deserve attention when planning out your new deck.

Your Voice Matters

Carefully listening to you is a must. If we build you a deck that doesn't suit what you need then what's the point? If we don't listen to you, we are only doing half the job. We believe that your input is the most important part of the planning stage.

Old Deck Removal

Before getting started on your new deck we must remove your old one. In order to ensure we don't damage your home during this process we carefully inspect your old deck to make sure it can be removed without and issues. We take care of this whole process so you can rest easy.

Proper Sizing

We make sure that your new deck has adequate sizing so that you can enjoy your new deck. If it's too small, you will be limited and won't be able to enjoy things like deck furniture, storage, family space and the BBQ might be squished in. We plan ahead so that you can enjoy this new space. 

Perfect Fit

Your home exterior needs to be planned around and we want to perfectly fit your new deck to the contour of your home and to use the space effectively. If the shape and location of your deck is not carefully thought out things like basement windows can be blocked.

Full Access

We try to minimize how many transition zones your deck has so that the space can be used more effectively. In the planning stage, we carefully plot out where the steps go so that you won't be tripping on stairs and can access the deck easily.

Composite or Traditional

Wood decks are great but there are other options that we like to work with. Composite deck materials are great as they are long lasting and require very little maintenance. Composite is great because it doesn't fade, need to be painted or cause splinters.

Add Ons

There are many extra considerations to think about before building a new deck. You may want railings, step lighting and maybe even an arbour over the top of the deck to give you some shade. We will give you a list of extras for you to consider before we start building.

Final Touches

The small things make all the difference. Laying down some fresh sod to freshen up some areas or similar details are all part of what sets us apart. All the loose ends should be tied up before we can be finished. Your new deck should be a thing of beauty from all angles.

One time install

Once they are done, you don't have to worry about them anymore. You won't have to worry about maintenance and the materials are designed to never break down. You can enjoy your new deck uninterrupted for years to come.

No More Slivers

Walking barefoot on your deck on a warm summer day is awesome but there is the risk of slivers. Composite is great because it does not break down and cause splinters. Now you can enjoy barefoot without the risk.

Always the same

Composite deck materials are designed to always look the same. You won't have to spend time or money on maintenance. You deck will look the same for years to come. No more fading or chipping to worry about.

Other services to consider

Deck building isn’t the only thing we do. We offer complete backyard construction no matter what your need is. Here are a few other services that might interest you to make your backyard a true oasis from the business of our daily lives.

Gorgeous Privacy Screens

Do you want more privacy in your backyard? Privacy screens are a perfect solution to tastefully keep your neighbours from peering into your backyard and letting you enjoy some peace and quiet uninterrupted.

Tasteful Arbours

The sun is great but maybe you need a break from the rays and still want to enjoy the outdoors. Arbours are a great solution to block out the sun in the heat of the day while allowing you to fully enjoy the outdoors as well.

Beautiful Gazebos

The ultimate outdoor living space. Gazebos are great for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors with friends and family. Gazebos can still be enjoyed in the rain so you can use your outdoor living space nonstop.
