I had a great experience with XP Decking company. They were on time, friendly, and the deck looks amazing. I definitely recommend them if you need a new deck.
Decking and Landscaping for Your Yard
We design and build decks for homeowners from Newmarket to Muskoka. Every deck we build is designed for comfort, long-term durability, and local code compliance. From solid framing and proper drainage to the landscaping around the deck, we handle everything, so the finished space looks good and stands up to Ontario weather.
Deck Design, Installation & Landscaping Services We Provide
From the initial sketch to the last landscaping detail, we handle every part of your outdoor project. Here’s what we offer to homeowners looking for smart, lasting outdoor upgrades.
Custom Deck Design
We design decks that fit your space, style, and your daily life. Using layout planning, 3D visuals, and zoning knowledge, we create practical, code-compliant designs that blend form and function from the ground up.
Deck Installation
Our team handles the full deck build: footings, framing, decking boards, railings and stairs. Ground-level or multi-tier, the deck is built to the Ontario Building Code and inspected at footing, framing and final.
Trex & Composite Decking Installation
As certified Trex® installers, XP Decking builds low-maintenance decks that resist rot, fading and splintering. Composite gives you the look of wood without the upkeep, which suits busy homeowners who would rather enjoy the space than maintain it.
Traditional Wood Decking
We build with pressure-treated lumber, cedar and exotic hardwoods like IPE. Wood offers natural beauty and strength when it is installed with proper spacing, sealing and ventilation, and our crew has refined that process over many builds.
Deck Landscaping
We create smart transitions between deck and yard using gravel, mulch, garden beds, stone edging, and drainage solutions. Whether under a raised deck or around a ground-level platform, we make the whole space work together.
Custom Features & Finishes
From built-in benches and pergolas to lighting, privacy screens, and planter boxes, we build features that boost comfort, style, and usability. These final touches turn a good deck into your new favourite place.
Types of Decks We Build
Every backyard is different, and so is every deck we build. Whether you want a raised layout, a wraparound deck or a private enclosed space, we build it properly and to last.
Well suited to split-level homes and sloped yards, our multi-level elevated decks use precise framing and well-planned transitions to create separate areas for dining, relaxing and entertaining while making the most of the space.
We install second-story decks with engineered support posts, proper footings, and safety railings. These decks are ideal for walkouts and elevated access and are built to meet Ontario building code standards.
Our double-decker decks give you two levels of functional outdoor space. Whether it’s a lounge above and hot tub below or a private retreat up top, we build them with structure, style, and real long-term strength.
Attached decks connect directly to your home, giving you quick access to outdoor space. We install flashing, anchors and support to keep water out of the frame.
Simple, sleek, and solid, our ground-level decks suit flat yards and give easy indoor-outdoor access. They are built with composite, PVC, or treated wood over levelled gravel and solid base supports.
Also called freestanding decks, these are not anchored to the house, so they can go anywhere on the lot. We build strong, secure floating decks with solid footings even on tough terrain.
Our wraparound decks expand your outdoor living space along multiple walls of your home or cottage. They are designed with consistent height, drainage and access to suit your layout.
Add visual interest with a curved deck. We shape composite materials to create smooth curves backed by strong framing and weatherproof finishes. Great for custom designs and standout backyards.
Our custom-built pool decks use slip-resistant composite or PVC with proper drainage and spacing. They are designed for safety, comfort and everyday use, and can include fencing and seating areas.
Enjoy your space, rain or shine, with a covered deck. We build everything from simple roofed structures to fully integrated shade systems with lighting, fans, and ceiling features.
Turn your outdoor space into a three-season room with an enclosed deck. We offer screen rooms, partial walls and fully glazed options, designed for comfort, privacy and all-weather use.
Deck Landscaping: Style, Function & Low-Maintenance Beauty
We also make the space around the deck work. From drainage and lighting to planting beds and privacy screens, we create low-maintenance deck landscaping that looks good and lasts.
Landscaping Under Raised Decks
We install clean, functional under-deck landscaping using gravel, stone, or weed barrier fabric to prevent moisture issues and unwanted growth. It’s the smart way to finish off raised decks and keep everything neat underneath.
Planting Beds Around Low Decks
We create garden beds that work around the shape of your deck, using low-profile shrubs, perennials, and mulch for a polished look. It adds curb appeal with little maintenance.
Edging and Borders
Define the transition between your decking and landscaping with stone, aluminum, or timber edging. Our installations prevent plant overgrowth, protect materials, and give your backyard a crisp, finished edge.
Retaining Walls & Garden Walls
For sloped yards or uneven ground, we build retaining walls that protect your structure and shape the outdoor space. We use pressure-treated timbers, interlock and natural stone.
Privacy Screens and Fence Transitions
We design and install privacy screens that match your deck and tie into the surrounding fencing or gardens. Cedar, composite or framed panels give you shade and separation without closing in the space.
Drainage & Water Management
We install clean, functional under-deck landscaping using gravel, stone, or weed barrier fabric to prevent moisture issues and unwanted growth. It’s the smart way to finish off raised decks and keep everything neat underneath.
Deck Lighting
Add safety and atmosphere with custom deck lighting. We install low-voltage LED lights on stairs, posts and under rails for evening use, entertaining, and highlighting the deck’s design.
Decking Materials We Use for Lasting Outdoor Beauty
We build with materials that hold up to Ontario weather, offer design flexibility and suit a range of budgets, from classic wood to composite decking.
Pressure Treated Decking
A cost-effective, durable choice for many homeowners, pressure treated decking is resistant to rot and insects. We install it with proper ventilation and seal it so it lasts in Ontario’s climate.
Composite Decking
Made from recycled wood fibre and plastic, composite decking gives the look of wood without the upkeep. It resists moisture, splintering and fading, which makes it a strong choice for low-maintenance decks that keep their appearance for years.
PVC Decks
Fully synthetic and highly durable, PVC decking resists water, stains, mildew, and UV damage. It’s a smart choice for humid or wet environments, especially around pools or in shaded backyards with limited airflow.
Vinyl Decks
Vinyl decking is continuous, waterproof and easy to clean. Thanks to its protective coating and built-in durability, we often recommend it for second-story decks or walkouts where moisture control is critical.
Softwood
Softwoods like cedar and pine offer a natural, warm finish. Installed correctly and sealed, softwood decking gives a timeless look with solid weather performance, and it suits traditional backyard styles.
Hardwood
Hardwoods like redwood, mahogany, or tigerwood offer exceptional strength and a rich finish. We use hidden fasteners and pre-drilled ends so the boards do not split.
Fiberon Decking
We install Fiberon composite decking for clients who want eco-conscious performance with modern textures. It resists fading, staining, and cracking, offering great value for high-traffic areas and long-term curb appeal.
AZEK Decking
Part of the TimberTech family, AZEK is a top-tier PVC decking. It is lightweight, strong and almost maintenance-free, a good fit for homeowners who want durability and a modern look.
IPE Wood Decking
Known for its strength and lifespan, IPE decking is a dense hardwood with natural resistance to rot, fire, and insects. We precision-cut and pre-drill IPE to avoid splitting, and finish it with high-performance oil for an even, durable surface.
Trex Decking
We’re proud to be Trex-certified installers. Trex decking gives you low maintenance, a wide range of colours and durable, recycled-content boards for backyards that see heavy use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Across our service area, most deck installations range from $35 to $65 per square foot, depending on material, size, elevation, and design complexity. Add-ons like lighting, railings, or landscaping can raise the cost.
At XP Decking, custom deck design is part of our service. If you’re only looking for standalone plans, basic design starts around $500–$1,500, depending on layout and whether 3D visuals are required.
Yes. A basic ground-level pressure-treated deck of about 120 to 150 sq ft can be built for around $5,000. Larger or raised decks and Trex decking installations typically cost more because of the framing and materials involved.
The most cost-effective option is a ground-level deck using pressure-treated lumber. Simple layouts, limited add-ons, and using existing access points can also help you stay within budget.
A landscape deck is a deck designed to integrate with its surroundings. This includes under-deck landscaping, garden beds, stone borders, and privacy features that connect the structure to the yard naturally.
We help you plan zones for dining, lounging, and access points. Good deck design includes proper flow, shade placement, and optional features like lighting, planters, waterproofing or built-in seating to maximize usability.
Yes. Gravel provides drainage and helps prevent frost heave in Ontario’s climate. We install gravel under deck footings and posts to meet structural and building code standards.
Usually. A permit is typically required if your deck is more than 24 inches high or larger than 108 sq ft. We handle the entire process, including drawings, engineering where needed, and dealing with the town.
Decks must comply with the Ontario Building Code, including proper footing depth (minimum 4 ft. to reach below frost), guardrail height (minimum 36–42"), and load capacity. We ensure every build is fully code-compliant.
Design and drawings, the building permit, footings poured below the frost line, pressure-treated framing, the decking boards you choose (composite, cedar or pressure-treated), railings and stairs, and the final inspection. One crew handles all of it.
Every deck is drawn for the lot and the house. We plan the layout around doors, grade, sun and sightlines, and provide layout plans or 3D renderings before anything is ordered.
