If your deck is above ground level, you need a railing. Several types of railings are available. Composite railings require a much larger footprint so they are only suitable for very large decks. Custom made and coloured aluminum railings suit some deck designs, especially if you have young children. Glass railings are elegant and allow an unobstructed view, especially with frameless glass.

Curved deck designs can add a unique and aesthetically pleasing element to your outdoor space. They break away from the traditional straight lines, creating a more organic and fluid look. When it comes to incorporating built-in bench seating into a curved deck, there are several design options to consider. Professional consultation and careful planning will help you create a functional and visually stunning curved deck that meets your requirements.

We use low-voltage LED lighting for decks and stairs. LED lights boast great longevity as well as stability and have an exceptionally low energy draw. An entire deck of lights will have the same power consumption as a pair of LED light bulbs in your home. We can even connect your lighting to a smart plug so that you can easily control your lighting directly from your mobile device.

Decks can be constructed from various materials such as pressure-treated wood, cedar and redwood, composite, PVC, bamboo and exotic hardwoods. Each with its own set of advantages, disadvantages, and aesthetic qualities. The choice of material often depends on factors such as budget, maintenance preferences, climate, and the desired look of the deck. When choosing the material for your deck, it’s crucial to consider your specific needs, budget, and the climate in your region.

We can add a hot tub, fire pit and gas-fired barbeque to further enhance your deck space. Maybe your deck surrounds a pool area. Safety considerations such as weight and heat are paramount, as well as the ability to run natural gas lines, water or electricity to areas of your deck. You also have the option of adding an overhead pergola to provide shade and protection from weather conditions.

Adding stairs and landings to a deck is an important aspect of its design, ensuring safe and convenient access between different levels. Some key considerations are the location of the stairs, the type of stairs and if you will need to install railings. Adding stairs and a landing to your deck should be a thoughtful process that prioritizes safety, functionality, and aesthetics.
