OUTDOOR
Custom decks and patios designed especially for you!
You will not find any cookie cutter decks here and why should you?
At Outdoor Ingenuities we pride ourselves in not only taking the time to really listen to what our customers want but also knowing, (because of our vast experience) that a good deck design is essential to adding value and enjoyment for years to come.
Each project that we design is carefully laid out and planned as dictated by 5 very important factors:
- Customer desire
- House design & elevation
- Form & function using industry standards
- Aesthetics
- Budget
Just as no two families are exactly alike and live in the exact same house with the exact same needs, no two decks should be either. Each design is customized utilizing the 5 factors creating a project as individual as you!
Have your own design?
Great, we can build it! And we will be happy to review it to make sure that form & function are not compromised by factors such as tight budgets or lack of design experience. It never hurts to get a second opinion or have someone proof your work. Our skilled carpenters, with their years of experience, will bring your vision to fruition, beautifully.
Want to build it yourself but need help with design?
We can do that too! Since 1987 our talented designers have helped many 'do-it-yourselfers' create projects that they are proud to say I built it myself! Let us take care of the rest. We will supply you with a custom design based on your input and ours, framing plans and a materials list.
As always you are welcome to visit our showroom to get ideas, discuss options and view samples of materials that are available to you. We can even have your materials delivered to you! Now how helpful is that?

What would it take to turn your yard into a place you can call your backyard retreat?
We think we know the answer, but maybe you have a different idea. Since 1987 Outdoor Ingenuities has grown and expanded its services to accommodate the requests and expectations of our clients.
We will admit, there have been times when a customer would ask can you do that? and wed truthfully respond with, well we have not yet, but yes we can!
For every creative design company there was always a first time for everything. So if we come across the opportunity to try something new and expand our creative abilities, we are eager to reach a new level of excellence, and are happy to say it turns out great every time!
This motivational bit of truth, brings us to the topic of landscaping and the great little retreats we have been able to create with it. We did not start out as a landscape company, and truthfully, we do not even call ourselves one either (we prefer creators of amazing backyard retreats) but we love having the opportunity to put the lush finishing touches on all our hardscape projects with the softening effects of landscaping.
We have had so much fun creating the perfect backyard oasis with so many of our customers that they would request that only Outdoor Ingenuities finishes the job. The requests and referrals kept coming and coming so we had no choice but to equip ourselves with all the necessities to do a great job and we do!
We have been asked to do unique projects such as bird sanctuaries, kids retreats, picnic areas and reflecting spaces. If you can dream it, we can do it!
Whether starting with a clean slate, adding to, or replacing an existing landscape area, we can help. The landscape can make or break a perfectly executed project, so we make sure to finish it off right and avoid cookie cutter designs to provide you with years of enjoyment.
Whatever your landscape and backyard retreat dreams are, we would like to be the company that will make it a reality. All our work and plant materials are backed by a one year warranty and expertly installed by our hardest working and most conscientious crews. We pride ourselves in the fact that we install a truly custom landscape project.
We are not high production installers! All Outdoor Ingenuities projects are approached with the same individual approach we use when designing all our hardscape projects. No two should ever look the same and we install them as if we were doing it for our own mothers!
One thing you can always be sure of is that when you hire Outdoor Ingenuities, we will be accommodating and flexible! Just one call to our custom design team then you can relax and trust that your job will be done right.
Its your backyard retreat, tell us what you see.
