Decks, Fences & Pergolas
Custom decks, pergolas, patio covers, fences, and gates that add shade, privacy, and usable space.
Shade, Privacy, and Usable Space
Decks level out sloped yards and connect the house to the garden. Pergolas and patio covers make a hot patio usable on summer afternoons. Fences and screens add privacy. We design them to fit your home and the rest of the yard, then build them with our own crew.
Decks
Redwood decks for dining, lounging, hot tubs, and sloped lots.
Pergolas & Arbors
Open-rafter shade structures, arbors, and swing arbors.

Solid covers for year-round shade and rain protection.

Wood and hog wire fences, gates, and privacy screens.
Built-Ins
Custom benches, planters, and railings that finish the space.
Prewire for Lighting
Wiring planned in so lights and fans can be added cleanly.
How We Build Decks and Structures
Wood is a natural material that moves, checks, and weathers, so the framing, hardware, and details matter.
- Select grade or better redwood for visible deck boards
- Pressure-treated Douglas fir under-framing, with supports spaced about 3 feet or closer
- Galvanized hardware, and deck boards screwed down
- Redwood safety railing on decks more than 18 inches above the ground
See all of our construction standards on our How We Build page.

What Affects the Cost
Every yard is different, so we price each project after a site visit. Your proposal lays out options so you can choose what matters most.
Deck & Structure FAQs
Do decks and pergolas need permits?
Many raised decks, attached structures, and patio covers need a permit. It depends on size, height, and your city. Permits are usually additional, and we can help with the process.
Redwood or composite?
Redwood has a natural look and lower upfront cost but needs resealing every 1 to 3 years. Composite costs more and needs less upkeep, but can scratch.
Is sealing or staining included?
Sealing and staining are additional unless your proposal includes them.
What warranty do structures have?
Decks and structures carry a 2-year warranty. Natural wood checking, cracking, and fading are normal and not covered.
