Timeless and Natural
Cedar and pressure-treated lumber remain popular choices for Ottawa homeowners who appreciate the natural warmth of wood. With proper design and finishing, a custom wood deck blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape and offers years of enjoyment.
Composite Decks
Low Maintenance, Long-Lasting Beauty
Composite decking has become a top choice for Ottawa homes due to its durability and low maintenance. Available in a range of colors and textures, these decks resist fading, warping, and moisture, making them ideal for Ottawa’s changing weather.

Covered decks and pergolas extend your living space outdoors while providing shade and shelter. Ottawa homeowners love adding these structures to enjoy the outdoors comfortably throughout spring, summer, and fall.
