The last deck you'll put on your house.
Composite or thermally modified wood · Built to last 50+ years
Designed with the yard. Built to last 50 years.
A Father Nature deck starts with the design, not the lumber list. Chris or Cameron walks the property with you, and the deck gets planned with everything around it: the doors it steps out from, the patio and planting below it, the lighting, the drainage, and how you want to use the back of the house in January as well as July. Whether it goes in on its own or as part of a renovation, it's sized to the lot and the light instead of being bolted onto the siding.
The spec is non-negotiable. Synthetic composite or thermally modified wood only, never cedar, never treated lumber. Railings are aluminum systems or cable rail. That combination is why we call it the last deck you'll put on your house, not as a slogan but because the materials deliver a 50-year life with almost no upkeep.
Most of our decks go in with the rest of a redesigned yard: a covered, heated room off the kitchen, a deck that steps down to a patio and fire feature, a structure that ties into an outdoor kitchen or hot tub. We build outdoor systems, not just components. If you want one permanent structure instead of a series of repairs, and a yard designed around it, that's what we build.
Our decks go in across the South Sound, on their own and as part of renovations. There is finished work on the ground in Gig Harbor, where an Arrowhead Drive backyard went from a small deck over swampy ground to a covered, heated outdoor room, and in Puyallup, where a South Hill lot that fell three feet to the fence line became level, retained rooms. A deck designed with the yard fits the blank new-construction lots in Auburn and Yelm, the entertaining lots in Bonney Lake, the established yards in Federal Way, the wet season in Olympia, and the wooded and bluff lots on Vashon. Same spec everywhere: synthetic composite or thermally modified wood, aluminum or cable rail, never cedar and never treated lumber.
Design, build,
then walkthrough.
- I.
Design + materials
When the deck is part of a renovation, conceptual landscape design comes first, and the deck is drawn into one scaled plan with the yard around it. A deck on its own skips that paid step. Either way, the composite or thermally modified wood is specified by exposure, and the rail system is chosen for the view, the code, and the upkeep you want.
- II.
Build
Foundation, framing, deck surface, railing, and integrated lighting where the plan calls for it, built by our own crew along with anything else going in around it. We go over the estimate and the schedule at the kitchen table before the contract, built from real data, never off the hip.
- III.
Walkthrough + care plan
A final walkthrough with you, then the care guide: what to do, what not to do, and what to expect after the first PNW winter. Weekly or biweekly maintenance is there for our design and renovation clients who want the whole yard kept right.
Built for the last deck, not the cheapest one.
Most of our decks go in as part of a whole-yard or back-of-house renovation. Those projects begin with a paid conceptual landscape design, which starts at $2,500 and can run higher, so the deck, the patio, the planting, and the lighting are planned together before anything gets built.
We also build decks on their own. A deck-only project doesn't need the paid design.
If you're after a quick cedar or pressure-treated deck at the lowest bid, we probably aren't the right fit for you, and there are lots of local companies that specialize in that. If you want one deck that outlasts the house, that's exactly what we build.
What the build looks like
from your side.
Most of our buyers have been burned before — by a quick-quote contractor, a vague estimate, a crew that vanished. Here's what to expect, step by step.
- I.
The first meeting
Chris or Cameron shows up. It's not a sales pitch — it's both sides deciding whether the fit is right. Bring your questions. We'll bring ours. If it's a fit, we keep going. If not, you've lost nothing.
- II.
See it before the shovel
Your conceptual landscape design is a real plan — materials, layout, planting, lighting, and a clear cost estimate — worked out at the kitchen table before the first day of work. No lowball quotes that balloon later. You see the project, then decide.
- III.
Real numbers, walked through line by line
No off-the-hip estimates. We sit with you and explain what each line item buys and where the cost comes from. From there the work runs on time and materials — you pay for the actual hours on your property and the actual materials used, never a guess that balloons later. It's the fairest model for both sides.
- IV.
Same crew, every week
The same crew builds your project start to finish. Same names on site through the whole build. Changes aren't arguments — they're conversations, talked through and approved before anyone swings a tool.
- V.
We don't disappear at the end
Walkthrough, punch-out, follow-up. Many projects roll naturally into a maintenance contract because the team you've worked with for weeks is the same team you'll see next spring. Most of our clients come back for a second or third project.
Custom Deck Builder, answered.
What decking materials do you use?
Synthetic composite or thermally modified wood only. We don't build with cedar or pressure-treated lumber, and railings are aluminum systems or cable rail. That spec is what gives you a 50-year deck with almost no maintenance, and it's the main reason our decks cost more up front and far less over their life.
Will you build just a deck?
Yes. A deck on its own doesn't need a paid design, and it's built to the same spec as every deck we put in. If you later want a cover over it or a plan for the rest of the yard, we can pick it up from there.
What does a deck cost?
It depends on the size, the height, the railing, whether it's covered, and what else is going in around it, so we don't quote deck prices off the hip. You get an estimate built from real data, and once you go ahead, we bill actual time on site plus actual materials.
How long does a deck take to build?
It depends on the deck and on anything else being built with it. We work out the schedule from real data once the design and materials are set, and we go over it with you at the kitchen table before the contract. The same crew is on site every day.
Can you build a covered or multi-level deck?
Yes. We build multi-level decks, covered and heated sections for year-round use, and decks that tie into an outdoor kitchen, fire feature, or hot tub as one structure rather than separate add-ons.
Do you handle permits and railing code?
Yes. We manage the permitting a deck requires and build the railing and structure to current code, sized for the height and the view.
Do you build decks in the winter?
Yes. We design and build through winter, so you can design now, build through winter, and enjoy it by spring.
