Toronto Deck Builder

Elevate Your Outdoor Space with Expert Deck Building

Many of us say, "I will have that deck rebuilt or repaired this spring," or "I'm going to have a deck built this year." Decks add that relaxing, homey feeling to your outdoor space, so this is the year to take the leap. Call Luke's Landscaping, and we can provide you with an estimate for your new or improved space. With an elevated deck (at the level of your second floor, for example), you can have a bird's eye view of your yard, the landscape, and the neighborhood. With one closer to ground level, you have a designated space for enjoying the outdoors, sipping your tea or coffee, and relaxing.

Having a designated outdoor space for parties and gatherings is another reason to add this great feature to your backyard. They keep people gathered in a cozy space, and those lounge chairs don't wobble as they do on the grass. Patio furniture, umbrellas for shade, potted plants, and maybe an overhang of some kind make the new addition an extension of your home.

Benefits of Decks

Not only is this hardscaping feature a beautiful aesthetic, but it can also increase the value of your property. According to the CBC, a $10,000 wood deck (cheaper than using composite material) will yield an 81.8 percent return on investment (i.e., it will add $8,600 to the value of your home). Remodeling Calculator provides an excellent tool for estimating the cost of building different decks. You should consider other factors when planning your project, and our experts can help you.

There are a variety of materials, from real wood and composites to durable plastics, that can be used. You can have it painted or ordered in a specific color or texture. The plastics that look like wood, such as PVC (polyvinyl chloride), are especially popular now. These materials are easy to power wash and are highly durable.

It is a great idea to read up on deck maintenance and begin your building adventure. This includes controlling unwanted plants and keeping it clean and resilient to weather damage. A variety of interesting plants can thrive underneath. To combat invasive plants and weeds, you can have the area underneath sprayed by a gardening and landscape professional. Luke's Landscaping can take care of that as well.

Just picture yourself out on your deck on a clear summer night, watching for shooting stars during a meteor shower; hosting a fall get together with friends when the leaves have turned gold and red; or playing with your kids when the spring weather starts to break through, and there is excitement in the air. Fill it up with a swing or some rocking chairs. Make it look beautiful and be creative. It can be just what you need to change your family's routine and environment.
