Outdoor Living
Decks, patios, pergolas, and outdoor kitchens designed for Chicago's four seasons.
Our approach
Outdoor living that survives a Chicago winter. Composite decks, paver patios, pergolas with integrated lighting, and outdoor kitchens plumbed with year-round gas and water shut-offs.
Ground is frozen from December through March, so we sequence excavation and footings in spring or fall. Composite deck framing gets stainless fasteners to outlast the boards. Paver patios sit on four inches of compacted base with polymeric sand joints — not the sand-set patios that heave every spring.
What's included
Structural footings
Frost-depth footings (42 inches in Chicago) for every deck and pergola.
Drainage
Surface grading and French drains to keep water away from the house.
Year-round utilities
Gas shut-offs, GFCI outlets, and insulated water lines for outdoor kitchens.
Plant-friendly lighting
Low-voltage landscape lighting layouts that don't interfere with trees or garden beds.
