What’s included

What a deck project
includes.

As a deck builder in Holland Landing we show you the deck in a rendering, with its height, stairs and railings drawn, and you approve it before anything is bought. Underneath go footings and a pressure-treated frame; on top, cedar or composite boards and railings in cedar, aluminium or glass.

  1. Wood decks

    Cedar or pressure-treated lumber, stained in the tone you choose or left to weather.

    • Cedar or pressure-treated boards
    • Single and multi-level layouts
    • Stain and sealer
    • Wide steps down to grade

  2. Composite decks

    The surface needs little beyond a wash: composite boards laid over a wood frame.

    • Composite decking
    • Cedar posts and rail caps
    • Aluminium balusters
    • Raised decks with stairs

  3. Stairs, railings and lighting

    You touch them every day. They are picked and built along with the deck.

    • Cedar, aluminium or glass railings
    • Stairs and landings
    • Lights set into the risers
    • Decks around an above-ground pool

  4. Design and rendering

    A rendering and a measured layout come first, and only then is lumber ordered.

    • Site measure and levels
    • Layout and material choices
    • A rendering to review

  5. Repair and renovation

    Decks that are sound underneath get brought back, and for the rest there’s honest advice.

    • Frame and joist repairs
    • New boards on an existing frame
    • Railing replacement
    • Deck waterproofing

Cedar deck behind a brick house with broad stairs leading to the lawn and a black metal railing.

Cedar, black metal

From the deck to the lawn

Broad cedar steps and a slim black railing connect the deck to the yard.

The steps span the width of the seating area above them, and a flagstone landing meets them at the lawn.

Cedar, pale stone

A connected backyard

Cedar decking steps down to a stone patio and a garden beyond.

The back door, the table and the garden work as one space, and a slim black railing keeps the view from the deck open.

Pale stone, charcoal band

Stone beneath the table

A pale stone patio with a charcoal border and a green garden edge.

The slabs run from the back steps to the dining table, and planted beds soften the line where the patio meets the garden.

Pavers, stone steps

A clear path to the door

Interlocking paving and broad stone steps shape the front entrance.

The darker border keeps the walk crisp against the lawn, and planting softens both sides of it.

Cedar, stone terrace

An open frame for the garden

A cedar pergola frames a sitting area, with a slatted screen for privacy.

Open rafters let the light through, and the screen shelters the back of the terrace, so the seating stays part of the garden.

Cedar, shingles

Room under the roof

A cedar pavilion makes space for dining outside, under a timber roof.

The shingled gable rests on heavy timber posts, set on stone paving among the planting.

Good to know

Deck Builder in Holland Landing:
good to know.

Holland Landing deck permits and the exemption’s conditions

The Town’s exemption has more conditions than height. A deck beside a required exit needs a permit however low it is, and so does one that clears the height limit only because the ground within 1.2 m (4 ft) was built up. The Site Alteration By-law is a separate track: it names adding a deck as work that calls for a Site Alteration Permit application. We confirm both while the deck is still a drawing, and help with the applications.

Deck builder in Holland Landing for riverside and wetland lots

Lots that run down to the river, or sit by a stream, a wetland or a steep slope, may be regulated by the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, which then has to permit any structure and any grading. For a deck that affects placement as much as paperwork: footings, a regraded slope and stairs toward the water all count. We keep the footings where the approvals allow.

Septic tanks and older frames on Holland Landing lots

If the house is on septic, find the tank before you picture the deck. The Town of East Gwillimbury asks owners not to build a deck over it, so we locate the lid and draw around it, which can mean a narrower section on that side or a stair that lands clear of it. An existing deck may not need replacing: on an older deck whose frame is still sound, new boards, joist repairs or new railings can be enough, so we check the frame before quoting a rebuild.
