Best Deck Builder in Calgary: Designing the Perfect Outdoor Living Space with A Green Future

 When it comes to creating the ultimate outdoor retreat, a deck is more than just a platform—it's a lifestyle upgrade. At A Green Future, Calgary’s trusted name in landscaping and deck construction, we believe that a well-designed deck should reflect your personality, meet your lifestyle needs, and withstand the test of time.

Whether you're looking to entertain guests, relax with family, or enjoy quiet evenings under the stars, the planning process is key to a space that works for you—now and in the future.


Inspired by Outdoor Originals: Planning with Purpose

In the Trex x Dacotah Studio Outdoor Originals Series, designers Shawn and Christina Taylor highlight the importance of building with intention. In Episode 2, they walk viewers through how to define the purpose of your deck—whether it's for dining, lounging, or entertaining—and how to balance comfort, function, and beauty.


A deck isn't just about now—it's about creating a space you'll love for years. At A Green Future, we make that happen." — A Green Future, Lead Consultant & Designer

Here’s what we took from their approach—and how we apply it right here in Calgary:

  • Define the Purpose: Is your deck a cozy retreat, an outdoor dining area, or a multi-zone entertaining space?

  • Think Long-Term: Plan for changes in lifestyle. Whether it’s growing kids, retirement comfort, or mobility considerations—future-proof your deck.

  • Choose Durable Materials: We often recommend composite options like Trex decking for their low maintenance, longevity, and stunning appearance.

  • Blend Style & Function: Railings, built-in seating, lighting, and planters elevate the experience while serving practical needs.

Deck Drainage: Build Smart, Stay Dry

One of the biggest overlooked elements in deck construction is proper drainage. At A Green Future, we build decks that last—not decks that rot.

Key Drainage Considerations:

  • Grading Around the Deck: We make sure the surrounding soil slopes away from your home and deck to prevent water pooling.

  • Under Deck Drainage Systems: Especially for second-story decks, we install systems that divert water away from the structure, keeping the area below dry and usable.

  • French Drains or Drywells: Where needed, we incorporate French drains or drywells around the deck to protect your home’s foundation and landscaping.

  • Fabric and Gravel Layers: For ground-level decks, we add a base layer of landscape fabric and gravel to promote water flow and reduce weed growth.

Deckscaping: Merging Nature and Structure

Deckscaping is where landscaping meets decking—and we specialize in it.

Want your deck to feel like a seamless extension of your garden? We integrate:

  • 🌿 Raised garden beds beside or built into the deck

  • 🌾 Natural privacy screens with cedar panels or living walls

  • 💡 Outdoor lighting to enhance safety and ambiance

  • 🌸 Rock gardens and mulch borders for low-maintenance beauty

This is where your outdoor living space becomes an experience, not just a structure.
