Ground-Level PVC Deck with Glass Railing

Caledon
Completed August 2024

This project involved the construction of a custom ground-level PVC deck designed to enhance rear yard access while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic for a Toronto residential property. As a trusted Caledon deck builder, ATBCON constructed a low-profile deck system installed directly over an existing lawn area, creating a seamless walkout-style backyard transition. The design features a full two-step configuration across the front and left perimeter, providing open and inviting access to the surrounding yard. Aluminum glass railings were installed along non-stair sections to maintain safety while preserving unobstructed sightlines and a refined architectural finish. Due to the deck’s proximity to grade and enclosed base structure, specialized ground preparation was required. A heavy-duty weed barrier fabric was installed beneath the deck footprint, followed by compacted gravel to prevent vegetation growth, moisture retention, and long-term settlement. The final result is a durable, low-maintenance outdoor platform that reflects the precision and structural awareness expected from an experienced Caledon deck builder.

Scope

Design and construction of a ground-level PVC deck featuring a full two-step perimeter layout, aluminum glass railing installation, and complete sub-base preparation including weed barrier fabric and compacted gravel foundation.

Challenge

Constructing a near-grade deck with a closed base required preventative measures to control vegetation growth and moisture buildup beneath the structure. The site was excavated and stabilized with compacted gravel, and a heavy-duty weed barrier fabric was installed to prevent grass intrusion, ensure proper drainage, and protect long-term structural stability.

Result

A premium ground-level PVC deck with full two-step perimeter access and aluminum glass railing, built over a stabilized gravel foundation with integrated weed control — delivering a modern, durable, and low-maintenance backyard upgrade.

Downtown Backyard Wood Deck with Privacy Screens & Fence Upgrade

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden deck for a downtown Toronto home situated on a narrow urban lot with a compact backyard. Designed to maximize functionality within limited space, the deck provides structured outdoor living while maintaining privacy and accessibility. A side-entry staircase allows access from the front passageway, while a rear staircase with integrated gate provides direct backyard exit. To enhance privacy between closely spaced neighboring properties, privacy screens were installed along both sides of the deck. The rear boundary was enclosed with new fencing, creating a defined and secure outdoor area. Additionally, the left-side property line fence was replaced and upgraded to improve visual consistency and structural integrity alongside the new deck build. The result is a refined urban backyard solution that balances space efficiency, privacy, and durable wood craftsmanship within a tight downtown setting.

Composite Deck with Aluminum Picket Railing

This project involved the construction of a custom composite deck designed to provide a balanced and functional outdoor living space. Built using high-performance composite decking boards, the structure offers long-term durability, moisture resistance, and low-maintenance performance. The perimeter is finished with aluminum picket railing, combining structural strength with a clean and timeless appearance. While moderate in size, the layout was carefully planned to maximize usable space without overwhelming the backyard. The result is a refined and practical deck that enhances everyday outdoor living. This project reflects a well-proportioned residential deck solution — not oversized, not minimal — but thoughtfully built to suit the home’s scale and lifestyle needs.

Custom Wooden Ravine Staircase with Intermediate Deck

This project involved the construction of a custom wooden staircase system designed to provide safe and structured access from a backyard overlooking a ravine. The natural slope of the property created a steep and challenging descent that would have been difficult and unsafe without a formal access structure. To resolve this, a fully framed wooden staircase system was installed, incorporating multiple landings to break the vertical drop and improve comfort during descent. Partway down the staircase, a small intermediate deck platform was integrated on the left side. This landing deck creates a pause point within the descent and offers a usable outdoor space without requiring full access to the lower grade. The staircase continues beyond the deck platform, allowing direct access to the flat area at the bottom of the ravine slope. The railing system combines wood framing with aluminum pickets, delivering structural strength while maintaining visual openness. The result is a functional and aesthetically refined grade-transition solution that transforms a steep backyard into a safely accessible and usable landscape.
