Toronto Deck Builder for Custom Residential Decks
Design-build deck construction tailored to Toronto properties.
Royal Decks & Landscapes is a professional Toronto deck builder specializing in custom decks designed for the realities of Toronto homes. Since 2005, we have built thousands of decks across Toronto, working with tight access conditions, smaller urban lots, older homes, and complex permitting requirements.
As experienced deck builders in Toronto, we manage the entire process — design, engineering coordination, permits, and construction — so homeowners receive a deck that is structurally sound, compliant, and built for long-term use.
Why Toronto Homeowners Choose Royal Decks
Building a deck in Toronto requires more planning than in many surrounding areas. Property constraints, zoning rules, and neighbouring homes all affect how a deck must be designed and built.
As a trusted deck contractor in Toronto, we understand the challenges that come with urban construction, including:
- Narrow side yards, limited backyard access, tree preservation zones, and setback restrictions
- Smaller lots and setback restrictions
- Older homes with structural limitations
- Ravines, slopes, and changing grades
- Neighbour proximity and shared boundaries
- Toronto permit and inspection requirements
Our role as a professional builder in Toronto is to anticipate these conditions early and design decks that work within them, rather than forcing generic solutions onto complex sites.
Custom Decks Built for Toronto Properties
We design and build custom decks in Toronto that respond to the layout, structure, and lifestyle needs of each property. Our experience with deck building in Toronto includes a wide range of project types, from compact urban decks to large multi-level outdoor spaces.
Our services include:
- Ground-level backyard decks
- Second-floor and elevated decks
- Waterproofed decks with usable space below
- Rooftop and terrace decks
- Pool and hot tub decks
- Pergolas and covered deck structures
Each project is planned with structural performance, long-term durability, and day-to-day usability in mind.
Deck Permits & Building Code in Toronto
Many homeowners ask: “Do I need a permit to build a deck in Toronto?”
When building a deck in the city, understanding building permits and the local building code is essential. Many decks in Toronto require permits, structural review, and inspections—especially when they are elevated or attached to the home.
We guide homeowners through:
- Determining whether a permit is required
- Zoning and setback compliance
- Structural load and footing requirements
- Inspection coordination and approvals
By addressing these requirements early, we help prevent delays, redesigns, and costly corrections during construction.
Deck Materials That Perform in Toronto’s Climate
Toronto’s climate places unique demands on outdoor structures. Freeze-thaw cycles, moisture exposure, and sun all affect how a deck performs over time.
Proper material selection is critical, and we help clients choose each deck material based on durability, exposure, and maintenance expectations. Options are selected not only for appearance, but for how they will perform over many seasons of use.
We regularly build with composite, PVC, and natural wood systems selected for Toronto’s freeze-thaw cycles and moisture exposure.
How Much Does It Cost to Build a Deck in Toronto?
Many homeowners ask: “How much it costs to build a deck in Toronto?” The answer depends on several factors, including:
- Deck size and height
- Structural complexity
- Material choices
- Permit and engineering requirements
- Access conditions and site constraints
Rather than offering generic pricing ranges, we provide clear, site-specific estimates so homeowners understand the scope and requirements of their project before construction begins.
Homeowners looking for early budget guidance can also explore our deck project budgeting tool to understand typical cost ranges before a site visit.
