Outdoor Contractors in Olds, Alberta

Olds sits just off Highway 2, about 50 minutes south of Red Deer, and is best known as the home of Olds College, Alberta's agriculture and horticulture school. That shows up in the work: a lot of Olds homeowners and acreage owners in Mountain View County have a real interest in landscape design, not just a deck bolted onto the back of the house.

What We Build in Olds

Custom decks in composite and pressure-treated wood, cedar and composite fencing, segmental block and armour stone retaining walls, cedar and aluminum louvred pergolas, interlocking paver patios and walkways, privacy screens, outdoor fireplaces, hot tub surrounds, and landscape lighting. We serve both town properties in Olds and surrounding acreages in Mountain View County.

Designing for Phased Builds

Every project starts with a site visit and a 3D design before a fixed-price proposal. A lot of Olds clients build in phases, a deck this year, a pergola or patio the next, so we design the full picture upfront: footings get sized for the eventual load, electrical conduit goes in during excavation, and later phases don't require tearing anything apart to correct for a decision made in phase one.

Composite vs Pressure Treated

Olds sees the same freeze-thaw pattern as Red Deer. Composite decking (Eva-Last, TimberTech, TruNorth) handles it better than pressure-treated wood because it doesn't absorb water, so there's no seasonal staining or board replacement. PT wood is still the right call for homeowners prioritizing the lowest entry cost; we build both to the same structural standard.

Permits in Olds

Deck permits in the Town of Olds are typically required for structures above grade. The homeowner is the permit applicant; we prepare the documentation and guide you through submission. The site consultation is free with no obligation before the proposal.
