Custom Decks & Gazebos in the Twin Cities
Built for Minnesota frost
The reason so many decks heave and lean here is footings set too shallow. We dig footings below the Minnesota frost line so your deck or gazebo stays level and solid through every freeze-thaw season.
What we build
- Decks in low-maintenance composite or natural cedar, sized and shaped to your home.
- Pergolas & gazebos for shade and a defined outdoor room.
- Integrated outdoor living — decks that connect seamlessly to a paver patio and fire feature.
Design that flows
Because we also handle your hardscape and plantings, your deck isn't a bolt-on — it's designed as part of the whole yard. See all design & build services →

Decks & Patios
Deck vs. Patio in Minnesota: Which Is Right for Your Yard?
Choose a deck for sloped or raised yards, second-story access, and a wood/composite look; choose a paver patio for ground-level spaces, lower long-term maintenance, and durability against Minnesota freeze-thaw. Many Twin Cities homes combine both.
