Custom Decking solutions Designed for Your Outdoor Space

A deck adds livable space to your property. In Alberta, where summer is short and outdoor time is precious, the design and materials behind that deck matter more than they might in a milder climate. At Salisbury Landscaping, we build custom decks as part of your full outdoor landscape, not as a standalone structure dropped into the yard. Our team has served the Greater Edmonton Area for over 60 years, and every deck project is led by a dedicated designer from the first conversation through final walkthrough.

We’re a family-owned, licensed, and insured company. Deck building sits within our carpentry service line, which means your deck is scoped, designed, and built with the surrounding landscape in mind. We consider how the deck connects to the home, stairs, grade changes, planting areas, hardscaping, and the way you plan to use the space. Financing is available through Financeit for qualifying projects.

Ready to turn your backyard into a space you’ll actually use? Call us at (587) 741-8719 or fill out our online contact form to book your consultation.

Landscape-Integrated Deck Building

Our deck designs connect with the rest of your outdoor space. We plan for the relationship between the deck and your lawn, garden beds, existing hardscaping, and future improvements so the finished layout feels intentional rather than pieced together.

Our deck-building approach includes:

Dedicated Team, Start to Finish: One team manages your project from the initial site visit through the final walkthrough. Our team remains involved as the project moves from consultation and design into installation.
Warranty and Aftercare Included: Warranty and aftercare services are part of every project.
Landscape Integration: Your deck is designed to complement what’s already there and what’s planned. Pergolas, planting areas, and other outdoor features can be considered during design rather than addressed as afterthoughts.
Environmentally Responsible Options: We recommend sustainable, environmentally responsible products where the project allows.

Start Your Sherwood Park, Edmonton, or St. Albert Deck Project

The first step is a property consultation where we discuss your goals, budget, site conditions, material preferences, and opportunities to integrate the deck with your landscape before design work begins. This conversation also helps us confirm the project scope and identify factors that may affect planning.

Building a Deck in Edmonton: Planning Considerations

Edmonton deck projects need to account for site conditions, municipal requirements, and seasonal exposure before construction begins. The City of Edmonton’s deck guidance helps determine what information may be needed for a proposed build, while the final requirements depend on the property and project details.

Deck Foundations & Site Conditions

Deck foundations need to extend to undisturbed soil and below the frost level appropriate to the site. The City of Edmonton describes 1.2 metres as typical in Edmonton, depending on soil conditions. Frost heave is seasonal ground movement caused by freezing soil, and it can affect footings and supporting components when foundations are not planned for local conditions.

Edmonton Deck Permits & Design Review

Permit requirements can vary based on yard location, deck height, property conditions, and the work proposed. Some projects may require plan review or engineer-stamped foundation designs, including decks above 1.8 metres, unusual structural materials, multi-level configurations, top-of-bank locations, or designs carrying extraordinary loads. We can discuss the proposed scope during your consultation, but you should confirm current permit requirements with the City of Edmonton.

Materials, Stairs & Railings

Composite and PVC products may require supplier documentation or other evidence of code compliance as part of a permit application. Deck stairs, guards, and handrails must also meet applicable building-code requirements for dimensions, support, and safety. Material selection should account for drainage, moisture exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and the support system beneath the deck surface.

Deck Material Options for Edmonton Builds

Material choice drives both the look and the long-term performance of your deck. During project scoping, we walk through the options with you based on your style preferences, budget, and how much ongoing maintenance you want to take on. We also consider moisture exposure, drainage, UV exposure, and the installation requirements for the selected product.

Common decking materials we discuss include:

Pressure-Treated Wood: A practical choice for a natural wood surface and lower upfront investment.
Cedar: A natural-looking wood with resistance to decay and insects.
Composite Decking: A lower-maintenance option that doesn’t require routine sealing or staining.

Lighting integration and other built-in features can also be scoped into the project during design.

How Decking Materials Perform Through Edmonton Seasons

Repeated freeze-thaw cycles, moisture, sun exposure, drainage, and installation details can affect decking surfaces and supporting components differently over time.

Material-specific considerations include:

Composite Decking in Cold Climates: Composite decking can reduce routine sealing and staining requirements for homeowners who prefer lower-maintenance care. Composite products have their own expansion, contraction, fastening, and joist-spacing requirements, so installation should follow the applicable manufacturer documentation.
Pressure-Treated Wood Considerations: Pressure-treated wood is often the most affordable option upfront, but it generally requires more maintenance than composite decking. Periodic staining and sealing can help manage moisture exposure and surface wear through changing seasons.
Cedar’s Natural Advantages: Cedar offers a natural appearance and resistance to decay and insects. It still needs ongoing protection and maintenance to preserve its condition through wet spring thaws, summer UV exposure, and regular use.

How a Deck Build Works with Salisbury Landscaping

Our process moves through four steps from the first site visit to the final walkthrough.

Step 1: Consultation & Planning

We visit your property, listen to your goals, and work through budget and scope together. Design direction is established before any commitments are made. This is where material options, site conditions, intended use, and landscape integration opportunities are first discussed.

Step 2: Project Preparation

Once design and scope are confirmed, we coordinate scheduling, material sourcing, and pre-start site checks. Project details are reviewed before crews arrive so the installation phase can proceed with a clear plan.

Step 3: Installation

Our licensed, insured crews carry out the build. Your dedicated designer stays connected throughout and discusses any scope changes with you as the project progresses.

Step 4: Warranty & Ongoing Care

After completion, we walk through the finished deck with you, provide care and maintenance guidance specific to your materials, and back the project with our warranty and aftercare services.

Deck Project Scope, Add-Ons & Pricing Factors

Every deck project is custom-designed, so investment varies. Here’s what’s included, what’s optional, and what shapes the final cost.

Deck project details include:

What’s Included: Deck projects include custom deck design, material recommendations tailored to your goals and budget, installation by our insured crews, and integration with your existing or planned landscape elements.
Optional Add-Ons: Staining and finishing, lighting integration, and other built-in features can be scoped in during the design phase, priced based on the specifics of your project.
What Shapes Your Investment: The main variables are material selection, structural complexity, integrated features, staining and finishing choices, and site-specific factors such as access and grade. Preparation, stairs and railings, drainage considerations, and demolition work may also affect the proposed scope when applicable.
What We Don’t Build: Our carpentry service doesn’t include fence repairs, railing fixes, handyman carpentry, one- or two-panel fence sections, or complex multi-level deck structures. If your project falls outside this scope, we’ll tell you at the consultation stage.

Financing is available through Financeit for qualifying projects. Ask about this option when you call us at (587) 741-8719 or book your consultation online.
