Custom Decks Built into Your Landscape. 55 Years of Edmonton Experience.

A deck adds genuine livable space to your property. In Edmonton, 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 a designed part of your full outdoor landscape, not as a standalone structure dropped into the yard. Our team has served Edmonton and St. Albert for over 55 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. Financing is available through Financeit for qualifying projects.

What Sets Salisbury Landscaping Apart from Deck-Only Contractors

Most deck contractors build and move on. Our approach is different because the deck is part of the full story. It connects to your lawn, your garden beds, your existing hardscaping. We design with that full picture in view, and our aftercare relationships mean the deck and landscape can evolve together over time.

Dedicated Designer, Start to Finish
One designer manages your project from the initial site visit through the final walkthrough. You aren’t handed off between departments or left to coordinate between a salesperson and a build crew.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Every project we complete is backed by our satisfaction guarantee. We don’t consider a job finished until you’re confident in the result.

Warranty & Aftercare Included
Once your deck is built, we stay available. Warranty and aftercare services are part of every project, giving you long-term confidence in the investment.

Landscape Integration
Your deck is designed to complement what’s already there and what’s planned. Lighting, grade transitions, and plantings are considered during design rather than addressed as afterthoughts.

Eco-Friendly Materials
We recommend sustainable, environmentally responsible products wherever the project allows, consistent with our commitment to the Edmonton community and the broader environment.

Start Your Edmonton Deck Project

The first step is a consultation where we visit your property, listen to your goals, and align on budget before any design work begins. No obligation, no pressure. Call Salisbury Landscaping at (587) 741-8719 or reach us through the contact form to schedule your visit.

Building a Deck in Edmonton: What You Need to Know

Edmonton’s climate and municipal rules shape every deck project in ways that aren’t obvious until you’re mid-build. Understanding these factors before your consultation helps you ask the right questions and set realistic expectations.

Frost Line & Structural Foundations

Edmonton’s frost line runs deep. Structural posts and footings must extend well below grade to prevent frost heave, the seasonal movement that occurs when frozen ground pushes foundations upward. This is non-negotiable for any permanent deck structure and is a primary reason local experience matters on these builds.

Permits & Zoning

Most Edmonton decks require at least a Home Improvement Permit. Decks built higher than 0.6 metres above grade generally require a full building permit. A development permit is typically not required when the deck sits entirely within a back or interior side yard, rises no higher than 1.2 metres above ground at any point, and the property isn’t a corner lot. Decks exceeding 1.8 metres in height or located near top-of-bank areas may also require an engineer-stamped design. These requirements apply to the homeowner; working with a team already familiar with Edmonton’s zoning bylaws and Alberta Building Code can reduce the risk of permitting delays.

Temperature & Material Performance

Edmonton temperatures range from roughly -40°C in winter to +30°C in summer. That’s a 70-degree swing that every decking material must survive, repeatedly. Materials that can’t handle freeze-thaw cycles can crack, warp, or deteriorate well before their rated lifespan. Material selection is one of the first conversations we have during project scoping.

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.

Pressure treated wood: The most accessible entry point on cost. It resists moisture and rot but requires periodic staining and sealing to hold up through Edmonton’s wet springs and dry winters.
Cedar: A natural, premium look with inherent rot resistance and aesthetic warmth. Still requires regular staining and sealing to maintain performance through Alberta’s seasonal extremes.
Composite decking: Engineered to mimic natural wood with significantly less upkeep. Resists rot, moisture, and UV exposure without annual sealing, making it a strong choice for homeowners who want the look without the recurring maintenance.

Optional staining and finishing are available as project add-ons. Lighting integration and other built-in features can also be scoped into the project during design. Structural complexity and site-specific conditions affect overall project investment, and we discuss all of this during the initial consultation.

How Each Material Holds Up Through Edmonton Winters

Choosing a decking material for an Edmonton property isn’t just about appearance. The ability to expand and contract through repeated freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or splitting is one of the primary selection criteria for any build in this climate.

Composite Decking in Cold Climates
Composite decking is engineered to perform through Edmonton’s extreme temperature swings without becoming brittle or cracking. For homeowners prioritizing long-term durability with minimal seasonal maintenance, composite is typically a strong performer.

Pressure Treated Wood Considerations
Pressure treated wood is the most affordable option upfront, but Edmonton’s dry winter air accelerates surface cracking and splitting. A regular maintenance schedule that includes staining and sealing is necessary to keep it performing well over time.

Cedar’s Natural Advantages
Cedar’s natural oils provide inherent resistance to decay and insects, making it a preferred natural wood option across Alberta. Annual staining and sealing are still required to maintain its integrity through wet spring thaws and summer UV exposure.

The right material depends on your priorities. We help you weigh upfront cost against long-term maintenance so the choice fits your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.

How a Deck Build Works with Salisbury Landscaping

Our process moves in four clear steps, designed to keep you informed and in control from the first site visit through the day you start using your new outdoor space.

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, and landscape integration opportunities are first discussed.

Step 2: Project Preparation

Once design and scope are confirmed, we handle scheduling, material sourcing, and pre-start site checks. Everything is coordinated before crews arrive so the build phase can move cleanly.

Step 3: Installation

Our licensed, insured crews carry out the build. Your dedicated designer stays connected throughout, and any scope changes are handled clearly rather than left to sort out after the fact.

Step 4: Warranty and 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. The relationship doesn’t end at installation.

Project Scope, Add-Ons, & Pricing Factors

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

What’s Included
Every project includes custom deck design, material recommendations tailored to your goals and budget, professional insured installation, 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 (wood versus composite), structural complexity, integrated features, staining and finishing choices, and site-specific factors like access and grade. We work through all of these during the consultation so there are no surprises.

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.
