We bring over 20 years of experience to the art of designing and building custom decks and outdoor living spaces across the West Metro and Lake Minnetonka. Guided by our "4 C's" - Communication, Creativity, Craftsmanship, and Community - we treat every project with the same care and attention, no matter the size or scope.
From low-maintenance PVC and composite decks to custom features like built-in seating and sunken swims-spas, we create spaces that elevate the way you live outdoors. As a full-service design-build firm, we combine 3D planning tools with expert craftsmanship to deliver results that are both visually stunning and built to last.
We're Lakeside Decking, a design-build firm creating high-end outdoor spaces.

"By FAR the best experience I’ve had with any contractor of any service! The price was an incredibly great value with the materials, craftsmanship, and results being top notch."
Will in Plymouth
The team demonstrated strong planning skills and excellent communication, completing the project on
schedule and within budget.
Sheila in Excelsior
"They impressed from the get-go, giving us a clear picture of what to expect in terms of end result, timing and cost - and ended up
delivering on all fronts, as well as being super-communicative every step of the way. The whole process was so worry-free and our new deck looks AMAZING. We couldn't be happier."
Tal in Minnetonka
Adele’s is a cornerstone of the Excelsior community, serving incredible frozen custard and drawing crowds throughout the year. We were fortunate to work with Adele’s to replace their crumbling deck with one that is as beautiful as it is durable. Using TimberTech Advanced PVC Harvest Collection in Slate Grey, this deck is sure to serve Adele’s and their customers for many years to come.
Adele’s opted for some smart enhancements that make the most of their outdoor space and allow us to comfortably host lots of customers at a time. Some of these enhancements include:
Integrated lighting
Built-in benches
Built-in planters
Drink rail
