Choosing DECKING MATERIAL
Most new decks are built using a combination of Wood and Composite materials. Although Composite decking has a larger initial cost, it does make sense when you are looking at the maintenance and deck costs over the lifespan of the deck.
We recommend composite for Calgary decks if you are going to own your deck for more than 7 years. Composite offers reduced maintenance costs, higher resale or appeal value and longer total lifespan.
(Note: * Not all composite materials are created equal. As one of the best deck companies in Calgary we can help you select the perfect materials for your project.)
Composite Decks
Composite deck products have become a great way to build a maintenance free deck.
With advancements in colour stabilization and wood grain texturing this decking has the appearance of real wood without the work to keep it looking new.
There are a variety of manufacturers and not all composite materials will perform the same.
Our Top Composite Picks:
-Fiberon
-Timbertech
-Trex
Both come with a manufacturer 25 year limited warranty.
Red Wood Cedar Decks
Cedar has a comparable life span to treated lumber.
Mother nature has provided this wood with a natural acid that protects it like the man-made ACQ solution.
This wood deck is meant to have a clear or semi transparent stain or oil applied to it so that the natural grain of the wood is visible.
ACQ Treated Decking
Treated spruce has a long life span and requires little maintenance.
It is a spruce wood that has been treated with a copper solution called ACQ.
Thoroughly tested, ACQ can be used in any of our decking designs that require treated lumber, even in sensitive areas such as wetlands and playgrounds.
Malaysian Hardwood Decks
Hardwoods come in Red Maranti, Red Balau, Yellow Balau and Ipe have an extended life span.
The Malaysian hardwoods have been used for years on bridges, wharves, flooring, heavy-duty furniture and decking applications.
With extreme durability and fire resistance this hardwood truly outperforms any domestic wood.
*Note: Calgary Landscaping only purchases hardwoods for our Calgary Decks, that are sourced from countries that are leaders in ecological, sustained forestry practices.

When do you need a Deck permit?
Drawings, Permits and a deck inspection are required for decks over 600mm (2′). Railings are also required at this height and must not be easy to climb.
Deck resurfacing may be permitted, but any changes to the shape or structure will require a new permit for the work.
This applies to The City of Calgary, M.D. of Rocky View, M.D. of Foothills and the Town of Okotoks.
As a full service design and construction company we can generate all drawings and help obtain permits to complete this process.
How close to property lines can i build a deck?
Depending on your location By-Laws will vary. The best practice is to contact your municipality for the most up to date information.
For general planning your deck should be at least 20ft from the back of the property line and 4ft from the side property line. The City of Calgary offers additional information.
What additional things do i need for composite decking ?
Composite Decking is a great option but not all manufactures intended their products to be used in a cold climate or for permitting requirements.
A certified composite material must have a CCMC certification for permits.
(Contact Us with any questions & we will Book A Free Site Visit to go over the details.)
TIP: It is a nice finishing touch to request that your composite deck be picture framed to hide any cut edges. This does require a small amount of material and some labor, but improves the look of all composite decks.
