Enjoy Durable, Lasting Quality
Oregon’s weather is diverse, from the sunny, dry summers of Central Oregon to the wet winters of the Portland Metro. We build decks to withstand it all. By using premium materials and proven construction techniques, we build structures that are resistant to the elements. Our commitment to quality ensures you can enjoy your beautiful new deck for years with proper care and minimal stress.
Decking Materials Tailored to Your Style & Needs
Choosing the right material is a critical step in creating a successful deck. The material dictates the look, feel, and long-term maintenance requirements of your outdoor space.
Our experts will help you navigate the options to find the perfect balance of aesthetics, maintenance, and budget for your home, whether you’re in Sunriver or Sherwood.
Classic Wood Deck Design: For Timeless Beauty and Natural Appeal
There is an undeniable, timeless beauty to a real wood deck. We specialize in custom wood deck design for the Portland Metro, Central Oregon, and beyond. We use high-quality, durable lumber such as cedar and redwood, which are naturally resistant to rot and insects and are prized for their rich color and beautiful grain patterns. A natural wood deck offers endless possibilities for custom stains and finishes, allowing you to perfectly match your home’s exterior aesthetic. While it requires periodic maintenance to preserve its beauty, many homeowners find the authentic look and feel of real wood to be worth the effort.
Low-Maintenance Composite Decks: For Lasting Durability with Minimal Upkeep
For homeowners seeking a beautiful deck without the annual sealing and staining, composite decking is an exceptional choice. As expert composite deck builders in Central Oregon and Portland, we frequently recommend these advanced materials for their superior durability and low-maintenance convenience. Made from a blend of recycled wood fibers and durable plastics, composite decking effectively resists rot, warping, splintering, and insect damage. It is available in a wide variety of colors, finishes, and textures that convincingly mimic the look of natural wood, providing a beautiful, long-lasting outdoor space that you can enjoy more and maintain less.

We have meticulously refined our process to ensure your deck construction project is smooth, transparent, and completely stress-free. From the initial idea to the final inspection, we manage every detail so you can be confident in the outcome.
Step 1: Initial Consultation & Vision
It all begins with a free, on-site consultation at your property. We take the time to listen to your ideas, understand your goals, and see how you plan to use your new deck. We’ll discuss material options, design possibilities, and budget considerations, and we’ll take precise measurements of your space to ensure a perfect fit.
Step 2: Custom Design & Proposal
Using the information from our consultation, our design team creates a detailed plan and a comprehensive, transparent proposal. You will be able to visualize exactly how your new deck will integrate with your home and landscape. Our proposals are clear and itemized, with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what your investment includes.
Step 3: Professional Construction
Once the design is approved, our skilled craftsmen get to work. We handle every aspect of the build, from securing all necessary permits in your municipality to meticulous site preparation and the final outdoor deck construction. We treat your property with respect and ensure every board is placed and every detail is executed to meet our uncompromisingly high standards.
Step 4: Final Walkthrough & Satisfaction
Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal. When the construction is complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you to inspect the finished product and ensure every detail is perfect. We don’t consider the job done until you are completely happy. Our work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee, giving you total peace of mind.
Our Commitment to Quality Deck Construction
Unlike many contractors who simply build, Landworks NW was founded on a deep, holistic understanding of the entire outdoor living lifecycle. With over 25 years of hands-on experience in design, build, and maintenance, owner Dan recognized a critical gap in the industry: creating beautiful spaces that are truly built to last. Our approach to deck building is rooted in this comprehensive philosophy.
We don’t just assemble materials; we engineer a cohesive part of your home’s ecosystem. This means carefully considering factors like property drainage, material longevity in the Oregon climate, and how your family will actually live on and use the space for years to come. This combined design/build and restoration expertise means we have the foresight to build your deck right the first time, proactively protecting your investment from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Custom Deck Building
What's the difference in maintenance between a wood and composite deck?
A wood deck requires periodic maintenance to stay beautiful and protected. This typically includes cleaning, light sanding, and re-applying a sealer or stain every 1-3 years to protect it from moisture and UV damage. A composite deck, on the other hand, is much lower maintenance. It requires only occasional cleaning with soap and water to keep it looking its best, with no need for the sanding, staining, or sealing that wood demands.
How long does a typical deck installation take?
The timeline for an outdoor deck construction project can vary based on the deck’s size, the complexity of the design, material availability, and specific site conditions. A standard, straightforward deck can often be completed within one to two weeks. More complex projects, such as those involving multiple levels, built-in features, or challenging terrain, may take longer. We provide a detailed and realistic project timeline with your official proposal.
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Bend or Portland?
In most municipalities in Oregon, including Bend and Portland, a building permit is required for deck construction. This is especially true for decks that are attached to the house or are over a certain height above the ground (typically 30 inches). As your professional deck installation contractor, Landworks NW simplifies the process by handling the entire permitting application and inspection process for you.
Which service areas do you cover?
We design and build custom decks for clients across two major regions in Oregon. Our Central Oregon service area includes Bend, Sunriver, Redmond, La Pine, Sisters, Black Butte, and Prineville. Our Portland Metro service area includes Portland, Beaverton, Tualatin, Sherwood, West Linn, Lake Oswego, and Happy Valley.
