Custom decks and outdoor living, built for Bonney Lake.
Design-build since 2006 · up on the plateau
Up on the plateau around Lake Tapps, outdoor living is the whole point. Lakefront and view lots here are built for summer, and the right deck and patio turn a good lot into the place everyone ends up.
We build for that kind of entertaining: a composite or thermally modified wood deck sized for a crowd, an outdoor kitchen with a grill and a smoker, a fire feature for the shoulder seasons, and lighting that carries the evening past sunset. On a view lot, the retaining and the sight lines matter as much as the deck itself, and we plan both from the start.
Bonney Lake's newer developments tend to come with large, blank backyards and even bigger potential. We design and build the whole outdoor space as one project, so the deck, the patio, and the planting belong together instead of arriving piecemeal.
We are a short drive up the plateau from our Tacoma shop and have built across Pierce County since 2006.
Outdoor living, end to end.
-
Custom decks & covered structures
Low-maintenance composite and thermally modified wood decks, pergolas, and covered, heated areas sized for entertaining.
-
Outdoor kitchens & fire features
Grills, smokers, fire pits, and fireplaces built into the space from the start, not bolted on after.
-
Paver patios & retaining walls
Retaining and hardscape that make a view or lakefront lot into level, usable outdoor rooms with the sight lines intact.
-
Conceptual landscape design
A scaled, buildable plan for the whole yard, phased to your timeline and budget before a shovel moves.
Built for a real project, not a quick fix.
Most of our Bonney Lake projects start around $25,000 and land north of $50,000: full outdoor rooms with the design, hardscape, planting, and lighting handled together.
If you are after weekly mowing or a quick one-off fix, you are probably not looking for our full design-build service. But if you are ready to turn the yard into the best room in the house, that is exactly what we build.
What the build looks like
from your side.
Most of our buyers have been burned before — by a quick-quote contractor, a vague estimate, a crew that vanished. Here's what to expect, step by step.
- I.
The first meeting
Chris or Cameron shows up. It's not a sales pitch — it's both sides deciding whether the fit is right. Bring your questions. We'll bring ours. If it's a fit, we keep going. If not, you've lost nothing.
- II.
See it before the shovel
Your conceptual landscape design is a real plan — materials, layout, planting, lighting, and a clear cost estimate — worked out at the kitchen table before the first day of work. No lowball quotes that balloon later. You see the project, then decide.
- III.
Real numbers, walked through line by line
No off-the-hip estimates. We sit with you and explain what each line item buys and where the cost comes from. From there the work runs on time and materials — you pay for the actual hours on your property and the actual materials used, never a guess that balloons later. It's the fairest model for both sides.
- IV.
Same crew, every week
The same crew builds your project start to finish. Same names on site through the whole build. Changes aren't arguments — they're conversations, talked through and approved before anyone swings a tool.
- V.
We don't disappear at the end
Walkthrough, punch-out, follow-up. Many projects roll naturally into a maintenance contract because the team you've worked with for weeks is the same team you'll see next spring. Most of our clients come back for a second or third project.
Bonney Lake outdoor living, answered.
Do you build lakefront and view-lot outdoor spaces?
Yes, that is a lot of our plateau work. On a Lake Tapps or view lot we plan the retaining and the sight lines first, then build the deck, patio, and outdoor kitchen so the view and the entertaining space work together.
Can you build a deck sized for entertaining?
Yes. We build composite and thermally modified wood decks scaled to how you host, single or multi-level, with room for seating, cooking, and a fire feature, engineered for the grade and the weather.
What does a Bonney Lake outdoor living project usually cost?
Most start around $25,000 and average $50,000 or more, depending on scope. We build full outdoor rooms, so the number reflects a finished space rather than a single element.
Do you handle permits and HOA design review?
Yes. We manage the permitting a project needs and work within the HOA and design-review requirements common to Bonney Lake's newer developments.
Are you local to Bonney Lake?
We are a short drive down the plateau from our Tacoma shop and have built across Pierce County since 2006.
Start with a site walk.
Chris or Cameron walks the property with you, listens to how you want to use it, and together you decide whether it is the right fit. We take on a limited number of builds each season.
