Composite Deck
Our composite decks are incredibly durable and resistant to fading, staining, and mold, making them perfect for busy families. With minimal upkeep required, you can spend more time relaxing and less time maintaining your deck.
Overview
Composite decking has become the top choice for GTA homeowners who want a beautiful outdoor deck without the annual sanding, staining, and sealing that traditional wood demands. At Pedra Landscaping, we design and build custom composite decks using industry-leading brands that resist fading, staining, scratching, and mold -- even through Ontario's harsh winters and humid summers. Our decks are engineered with proper structural framing, joist spacing, and ventilation to meet Ontario Building Code requirements and stand the test of time.
Whether you need a simple single-level platform off your back door in North York or a sprawling multi-level entertainment deck in Markham with built-in planters, benches, and privacy screens, we handle every detail from design to final inspection. We offer a wide range of composite board colours and textures that mimic the look of natural hardwood, along with matching railings and fascia for a polished finish. Every deck we build includes hidden fasteners for a clean surface, proper ledger board connections, and code-compliant guardrails -- giving you a safe, stunning outdoor space that requires nothing more than an occasional soap-and-water wash.
