Seize the Day

Don’t wait for next summer to improve your outdoor living space. There’s no time like the present to get a jump on next year’s projects. Go big with a spacious deck, landscaped concrete seating area, or improved grilling zone, or keep it simple with a fire pit or heating lamp to extend the stay-outside season.

Get Decked Out

The secret to getting a jump on next summer? Build your deck now. Once the weather warms up, simply furnish, pot some plants, fire up the barbecue and relax—the hard part’s already done.

Under Pressure

Looking for a deck that goes the distance? Pressure-treated wood offers the look and feel of natural wood with the weather-tested toughness of synthetic materials.

Classic Cedar

Rich and robust, cedar is a low-maintenance decking choice for purists who love the durability (not to mention the smell) of this wood, making it a natural for city and cottage. Bonus: it’s a natural insect repellent, too.

Pine Design

Solid Scandinavian pine owes its warm, welcoming colour and long lifespan to its chemical-free thermal milling process. The clear, minimal graining makes pine a more modern alternative to cedar.

Stepping Stones

Don’t underestimate the impact of stone hardscaping on your front and back yards. These low-maintenance walls and walkways provide structure for the natural elements and are a lasting investment. Install your concrete and stone projects now for a tidier, more tailored yard without delay.
