OUR SERVICES
Custom Composite Decks
We design and build premium composite decks using TimberTech and other high-performance materials that are perfect for Rathdrum's mix of sunny summers and snowy winters. Our decks resist fading, moisture, and warping, and are crafted to complement natural views and backyard layouts—whether you're on a hillside or in a cul-de-sac.
Paver Patios
Our paver patios are built to handle freeze-thaw cycles common in the Rathdrum Prairie area. Low-maintenance and timeless in appearance, they’re perfect for grilling, lounging, or gathering with family. Add lighting or a fire feature for year-round use.
Brighten up Rathdrum’s dark evenings with app-controlled, low-voltage LED lighting. We install high-end in-lite systems into your landscape, patios, and stairways—offering safety, visibility, and ambiance, even in more rural settings with limited street lighting.
Outdoor Kitchens
Rathdrum’s open lots are perfect for outdoor kitchens built to entertain. We install fully custom setups—grills, burners, lighting, countertops, and seating—tailored for Idaho weather and year-round cooking. Designed to last and built to impress.
Fire Features
Extend your evenings with a wood-burning or gas fire pit, table, or fireplace. All our fire features are built with fire-rated materials and designed to be a centerpiece of your patio or outdoor seating area. Perfect for relaxing under the stars in Rathdrum.
Design Services
From flat prairie land to sloped lots near the base of Rathdrum Mountain, we create functional, beautiful spaces with decks, retaining walls, turf areas, steps, and pathways. If your yard feels underutilized, we’ll help you reclaim it with a cohesive plan.

Benefits of Having Outdoor Living in Rathdrum
Rathdrum is made for outdoor living. With space to stretch out, changing seasons, and mountain views, your yard can become a true extension of your home. Whether it’s a deck for watching sunsets, a patio for entertaining, or a fire feature for chilly nights, a well-designed space enhances your quality of life—and your property value.
Outdoor Living Tips For Rathdrum Homeowners
Our local insight means smarter designs and better results. These tips are tailored for Rathdrum residents and North Idaho’s unique conditions, helping you plan your project with confidence.
In Rathdrum, it's common to have large, open lots or sloped terrain. We recommend clearing debris and checking for underground sprinklers or drainage before work begins. During our consultation, we’ll help you assess access points, sun exposure, and yard grade to avoid surprises later.
Not every Rathdrum home sits on a half-acre—especially in newer developments. We use design tricks like multi-level decks, integrated seating, and smart flow planning to make smaller backyards feel spacious and functional. Every square foot is planned with purpose.
To handle Rathdrum’s snowfall, our decks are built with the right spacing and support to shed snow efficiently. Just use a plastic shovel to remove buildup, avoid using ice melt that contains harsh chemicals, and rinse off grime in the spring. We design our decks for simple, low-effort upkeep.
Rathdrum gets snow, sun, wind, and sometimes all in one week. For decks, we recommend TimberTech’s PVC decking lines, which handle the full range of weather with ease. They resist cracking, fading, and moisture better than traditional composites—keeping your space looking great longer.
Rural or semi-rural homes in Rathdrum can be dark at night. With low-voltage lighting built into stairs, rails, and landscape beds, you’ll improve safety while adding a polished look. We install in-lite smart lighting that you can control with your phone—perfect for convenience and security.
