The Orillia build context.
Orillia is a city that notices when work is done right — and notices, even more, when it isn't. Heritage homes, Couchiching waterfront, a downtown that takes pride in how things look. If you live here, you've probably already seen what bad landscaping does to a beautiful property. We're here to make sure that's not what happens to yours.
The terrain
Lake Couchiching and Lake Simcoe shoreline plus mature urban neighbourhoods. Older homes mean older drainage systems that need careful integration with new hardscape.
The soil profile
Lake-influenced clay loam common across the city, with sandy pockets near the shoreline. Older established neighbourhoods often have surprise utility runs that excavation must respect.
Common project types we build here
- Heritage home walkway and step restorations
- Couchiching shoreline patios
- Downtown courtyard redesigns
- Modern decks for waterfront cottages

Quick answers about
composite decking in Orillia.
TimberTech vs. Trex — which is better?
Both are product options worth comparing. Manufacturer warranty availability, duration, exclusions, and transferability depend on the selected product and current manufacturer documentation; confirm them before purchase.
Will composite get hot in summer?
Surface temperature depends on the product, colour, sun exposure and ambient conditions. Review manufacturer temperature guidance and samples for your location before selecting a board.
Do composite boards fade?
Modern capped composites (TimberTech AZEK, Trex Transcend) have engineered UV-stable surfaces. Expect minimal fade in the first 5 years, slight mellowing thereafter — far less than wood.
How long does construction take?
A 300–500 sqft deck typically takes 7–10 working days from footings to railing. Larger multi-level decks run 2–3 weeks.
