Chesapeake Deck Builders

A great deck changes how you use your home. It's where summer dinners happen, where the grill lives, where the backyard actually earns its keep. Andrae's Landscaping designs and builds custom decks throughout Chesapeake and the surrounding Hampton Roads area, from simple platform decks to multi-level outdoor living spaces. And because we're a full-service landscaping company in Chesapeake, your deck doesn't get built in isolation — we can shape the patio, planting, and lawn around it so the whole backyard works as one space.

Deck Types We Build

Every property and every family uses a deck differently, so we build to fit. Our work includes pressure-treated wood decks, composite decks including Trex, multi-level decks that work with sloped or tight lots, pool decks built for sun and water exposure, and screened decks that keep Chesapeake's mosquitoes on the right side of the mesh. Whether you want a straightforward grilling platform off the kitchen or a two-tier entertaining space with room for the whole crew, we'll design something that fits your home, your yard, and your budget.

Chesapeake Permits and Code

Most new decks in Chesapeake require a building permit, and every deck must meet Virginia building code — footing depth, ledger attachment, railing height, stair dimensions, all of it. That's not red tape to fear; it's what keeps a deck safe for decades. We build to code on every project and will walk you through what your specific build requires before work begins, so there are no surprises mid-project or when it's time to sell your home.

Materials and Cost

The two biggest cost drivers are size and material. Pressure-treated wood is the budget-friendly starting point, though it needs regular staining and sealing to stay sharp. Composite decking like Trex costs more up front but shrugs off Chesapeake's humidity, resists fading and rot, and asks for little more than an occasional rinse. Multi-level designs, built-in benches, and railing upgrades add cost but also add function.

Our Build Process

Deck projects follow the same process as everything we build: clear plan, clean execution, no surprises.

1. Consultation

We look at your property, talk through how you'll use the space, and discuss materials and budget.

2. Design and planning

We develop the layout and walk you through material options, dimensions, and timeline before anything is ordered.

3. Construction and installation

Our crew handles the build from footings to final board — no subcontractor roulette.

4. Ongoing care

We're not done until you've walked the finished deck and you're happy with every detail.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in Chesapeake?

In most cases, yes. Chesapeake requires a building permit for new deck construction, and decks must be built to Virginia building code. We build every deck to code and will walk you through what your project requires before work begins.

Should I choose composite or wood for my deck?

It comes down to budget and upkeep. Pressure-treated wood costs less up front but needs regular staining and sealing. Composite decking like Trex costs more initially, but it resists fading, rot, and insects, and needs little more than an occasional wash. In Chesapeake's humid coastal climate, that low maintenance is a big part of why many homeowners go composite.

How much does a new deck cost in Chesapeake?

It depends on the size, the material, and the design. A simple pressure-treated platform deck costs far less than a multi-level composite deck with built-in features. The best way to get an accurate number is a free quote based on your property and your plans. Call 757-908-3855 to set one up.

Can you build a deck around my pool?

Yes. Pool decks are one of our specialties, alongside paver pool surrounds. We design them for safety, drainage, and comfort underfoot, using materials suited to constant sun and water exposure.

Can you landscape around the new deck too?

Absolutely, and that's the advantage of hiring a full-service landscaping company in Chesapeake as your deck builder. We can design and build the deck along with the planting beds, walkways, patio, and lawn around it, so the whole space works together.
