Outdoor Projects
Decks, fencing, landscaping, pools and sheds for yards across Durham Region and the GTA.
The work
Outdoor space has to handle weather that swings from minus-twenty winters to humid summers. Decks, fences and landscaping that are built for that range hold up; ones that are not, do not.
HomeStead GC builds decks, fencing and landscaping, and also handles pools and sheds, coordinating the trades each project needs.

What to know in Durham Region and the GTA
Frost depth across Durham Region and the GTA means footings for decks and similar structures need to reach below the frost line to avoid heaving. This is a code requirement and one of the most important parts of the build.
Decks above a certain height, pools and some fences or sheds can require permits or follow municipal by-laws, and these differ between municipalities across Durham Region and the GTA. We check before building.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Do I need a permit to build a deck in Durham Region and the GTA?
Often. Permit requirements depend on height, size and whether the deck is attached to the house, and they vary by municipality. We confirm the requirements for your property.
Can you build pools and sheds?
Yes. Pools and sheds are part of our verified residential services alongside decks, fencing and landscaping.
Why do footings matter so much?
Soil freezes and thaws during winters across Durham Region and the GTA, and footings that sit above the frost line can shift. Properly placed footings keep decks and structures level.
