The Wasaga Beach build context.
Building on Wasaga sand isn't like building anywhere else in Ontario — and contractors who don't understand that leave behind patios that disappear into the dunes by year three. We've put in the years to learn how to build on this stuff properly: deeper bases, stabilizing geotextile, the patience to do it right. So your space stays where you built it, every winter, every spring.
The terrain
Sand. The world's longest freshwater beach defines the geology — most of the town sits on deep sandy soils with very high drainage capacity but unique base-prep considerations.
The soil profile
Pure sand throughout most of the town. Excellent natural drainage but requires properly compacted aggregate base — sand alone will not support a paver patio long-term.
Common project types we build here
- Beach-house patios with sand integration

Quick answers about
composite decking in Wasaga Beach.
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.
