Calgary homeowners! Let’s talk about decks. Not just any decks, though. We’re talking about transforming your outdoor space into a personal retreat that screams you. At Project Landscape, we believe your backyard should be more than just a patch of grass—it should be an extension of your home, a place where memories are made, and let’s be honest, a spot to make your neighbors a tad envious.

1. Decking
Imagine a space where your indoor comfort meets the beauty of the outdoors—a deck that not only adds value to your home but becomes your go-to spot for relaxation and entertainment. Think sizzling BBQs, serene afternoons with a book, poolside laughter, and starlit relaxation. Dreaming of designing your new deck? You’re in the right place! We’ve gathered a treasure trove of ideas to kick-start your project.
2. Incorporating Everything but the Kitchen Sink
When it comes to deck design, the sky’s the limit. Here are a few features to consider making your deck truly your own:
- Railing: Safety meets style. Choose from a variety of materials and designs to complement your home.
- Deck Lighting: Set the mood and extend your deck’s usability into the evening.
- Cook Stations/Outdoor Kitchens: Bring the heart of the home outdoors. Ideal for the family chef and entertaining.
- Hot Tubs and Saunas: Create a spa-like retreat steps from your back door.
- Deck Skirting: Conceal the space underneath and add a polished look.
- Inlay Deck Patterns: Add visual interest and a personal touch with unique decking patterns.
3. Add a Pergola or Gazebo
A pergola or gazebo not only adds visual interest but provides a shaded sanctuary to enjoy your outdoor space, rain or shine. Whether you’re looking for a cozy spot to unwind or an elegant space for outdoor gatherings, these structures offer both beauty and functionality. Dive deeper into how a pergola or gazebo can enhance your deck at Project Landscape’s Pergolas and Gazebos page.
4. Consider Screening In Your Deck
Embrace the outdoors without the bugs. A screened-in deck offers the best of both worlds: enjoying the beauty of your surroundings while keeping unwanted guests out. It’s perfect for those long Calgary summer evenings.
5. Deck Layouts and Shapes
Forget the basic square. Today’s decks can be tailored to fit your space and lifestyle perfectly. From multi-level decks for varied activities to bump-outs for a dedicated grilling spot, we can design a deck that feels like it was always meant to be a part of your home. Let’s get creative and make your deck a true extension of your living space.
6. Don’t Forget Premium Materials
- Composite Decking: For a durable, low-maintenance option that mimics the look of real wood, composite decking is hard to beat. It’s built to last, resist fading, and won’t splinter, crack, or rot.
- PVC Decking: If you’re looking for the ultimate in low maintenance, PVC decking is your go-to. It’s moisture-resistant, making it perfect for Calgary’s weather, and comes in a variety of styles and colors.
