Custom Deck Builders in Oakville
Decks designed around your home, your budget and how you want to use your backyard.
Royal Decks and Landscapes is an Oakville deck and landscaping company that has designed and built decks for Oakville homeowners since 2005. Our showroom is here in Oakville, and our in-house team handles design, permits and construction, from deck replacements and repairs to pool decks, covered decks and complete backyards. Every project is backed by our five-year workmanship warranty.
Many Oakville projects start with one clear need: a deck around a new pool, a walkout from the kitchen to the yard, or shade over the dining table. We plan the deck around how you will use it, then help you choose materials you can see and touch at the showroom.
Decks We Build in Oakville
Pool decks and hot tub decks
Oakville backyards often combine a deck with a pool, hot tub or swim spa. We plan heights, steps and transitions so the deck meets the water safely, carries the weight of a hot tub where needed, and leaves room for lounging and dining. We install pool decks around new and existing inground pools. Explore pool decks.
Patio decks and deck replacements
A low deck off the kitchen or family room is the project we build most often. For a replacement, we check the existing framing and footings before deciding what can stay. New boards cannot fix a failing structure.
Elevated and second-floor decks
Many Oakville homes have a walkout basement or a raised main floor. An elevated deck extends that floor outdoors and can keep the space below dry and usable. Explore second-floor decks.
Covered decks, pergolas and pavilions
A pergola filters the sun, while a solid roof or pavilion lets you use the deck in the rain. We design the structure to suit the house and how much light still reaches indoor rooms. Explore covered decks.
Front porches
A porch rebuild changes how your home looks from the street and how you arrive every day. We build open and covered porches with steps, railings and columns that suit the house, from older homes in Old Oakville to newer subdivisions. See our porch work.
Deck repairs
Loose boards, wobbly railings, failing stairs or soft framing can often be repaired without replacing the whole deck. We assess the structure first and tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or whether replacement is better long-term value.
Popular additions include glass or aluminum railings, built-in lighting and lit stairs, privacy screens, skirting and planters.

How Much Does a Deck Cost in Oakville?
Installed deck prices in Oakville start at about $37 per sq. ft. for a simple pressure-treated platform. Composite and PVC cost more upfront but need far less upkeep. Starting rates in Canadian dollars, before taxes:
| Deck type | Pressure-treated wood | Composite | PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple platform deck | from $37/sq. ft. | from $48/sq. ft. | from $56/sq. ft. |
| Main-floor deck, about 2 ft. high, including railings, stairs and skirting | from $54/sq. ft. | from $74/sq. ft. | from $83/sq. ft. |
| Second-floor deck with aluminum railing (no stairs) | from $55/sq. ft. | from $64/sq. ft. | from $71/sq. ft. |
| Stairs for a second-floor deck, if needed | from $6,850 | from $10,200 | from $10,300 |
For example, a 300 sq. ft. composite main-floor deck starts at about $22,100. Smaller decks cost more per square foot, and larger simple layouts can cost less.
Permits, demolition, lighting, waterproofing below the deck and other upgrades are extra.
Pool decks, hot tub supports, covered structures and complete backyards are priced individually based on scope. Your quote will list the selected materials, layout and inclusions. Smaller projects are always welcome.

Choosing Your Decking Material
Most decks we build today are composite or PVC. Here is how the options compare.
- Composite: a wood look with little upkeep. We install Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon and Canadian-made TruNorth. Prices have come down enough that composite is now close to wood on many projects. Composite decking
- PVC: the premium low-maintenance choice, lighter and more resistant to moisture. We install AZEK, Wolf, Fiberon, Zuri and Vekadeck. PVC decking
- Pressure-treated wood: the lowest-cost option for a simple deck. Expect to stain it every one to two years, depending on the product, sun and wear. We recommend Cutek.
- Cedar and ipe: we still build them on request, but rising prices and limited supply of quality wood mean most homeowners now choose composite or PVC.
Building around a pool or in full sun? We usually recommend PVC: it is resilient, slip-resistant and easy to clean. Choose a lighter colour, because dark boards get hot in direct sun.

How We Design and Build Your Deck
Every project starts with a conversation. From there it follows one of two paths, depending on how complex your deck is.
Most decks: design and quote in one step
- Meet on site. We look at your yard, doors, deck height and access, and talk through how you want to use the space.
- Choose materials and options. We compare decking, railings, stairs and lighting with you, on site or at our Oakville showroom.
- Get drawings and a quote. You receive a simple 3D drawing and pricing based on the options you chose, so you see the deck and its cost before deciding.
- Permits and construction. Once you approve, we handle the Town of Oakville permit where needed and build your deck.
- Final walkthrough. We walk through the finished deck with you and register your products with the manufacturers so your warranties are in place.
Larger or more complex projects: design first
Multi-level decks, roofs, pools or complete backyards need more planning than one site visit allows. For these we offer a paid design service: detailed 3D renderings, layout options and the construction drawings needed for permits. You get a design you can trust and accurate pricing that comes from it. Learn about our deck design services.
Deck Permits in Oakville
The Town of Oakville requires a building permit for any deck attached to a house, and for a freestanding deck larger than 10 square metres (about 108 sq. ft.) that is more than 61 cm (2 ft.) above the ground. Zoning rules on setbacks and lot coverage also apply.
Some properties also need Heritage Planning or Conservation Halton approval and a tree protection declaration, which is common near ravines and in older neighbourhoods. See the Town of Oakville’s deck permit page, and talk to us before starting work. We prepare the drawings and handle the application.

Questions About Building a Deck in Oakville
Do you build pool decks and hot tub decks in Oakville?
Yes. Pool, hot tub and swim spa decks are a large part of our Oakville work. We plan the structure for the extra weight and the transitions to the water, and coordinate with the pool or spa installer.
Can you build a simple deck without landscaping the whole yard?
Yes. We welcome deck-only projects as well as decks within larger backyard renovations. Tell us the space you need and we will suggest a suitable scope.
Do I need a permit for a deck in Oakville?
You need one for any deck attached to the house, and for a freestanding deck over 10 square metres that is more than 61 cm above the ground. We confirm the rules for your property and handle the application.
Can I keep my existing deck frame?
It depends on its condition and suitability for the new work. We assess the framing, supports and connections before recommending resurfacing, repair or replacement.
Can I visit your showroom?
Yes. Our showroom is in Oakville. Contact us to book a time to compare decking, railings and lighting.
How long will the project take?
Timing depends on design, permits, materials, site conditions and our construction schedule. We map out the stages for your project rather than quoting one timeline for every deck.
