The Framework of a Project

Structuring in a landscaping project can have many factors to take into account such as privacy, overhead cover, useable space, local bylaws, and more. Visionary Landscaping can answer your questions as to how we can include crucial yard elements such as fencing, decks, shade structures, and more, all while considering the overall final look of your backyard sanctuary at the culmination of a project.

Lumber & Composite Decking

Decks have been an essential part of yard design as an economic alternative to backyard patios, stairs, and landings since the early 20th century. Today, we enjoy extended lifespans for decks thanks to pressure treated wood and other features such as protective coatings, composite decking, aluminum railings, and more.

Fencing & Privacy Screens

Fencing is a crucial landscaping component in the majority of urban neighborhoods. Often erected to designate borders or property lines and with privacy as the priority, fencing can also add to the character of your property. From simple privacy fencing to custom one of a kind projects, fences can be also be a bold statement.

Pergolas & Gazebos

Shade structures serve as a gathering place and are one the most essential creature comfort features in any larger project. Using a variety of construction materials and installation methods, pergolas and gazebos can be adaptively built to specific sizes for areas as small as a barbecue cover, or larger party-sized seating areas.

Custom Woodwork Features

Woodwork can be included as an element of your landscape in many other ways such as seating, storage, trellis, arbors, utility screens, garden boxes, playgrounds, exercise structures, and more. We are open to any custom ideas you may have and are always up for a challenge to try something new and out of the ordinary.

Natural Wood vs Engineered Products

Lumber & Treated Lumber

Trusted by mankind as long as historical records show advanced construction techniques, wood is still a vital component in construction and widely used in various forms around the world. Lumber selection for outdoor construction varies from cedar and redwood, to pressure treated pine and spruce, or more exotic high-end options like teak, mahogany, and more. Taking steps to prolong the life of wooden features in a project are essential and can include staining or painting, often with stunning results. Typically, constructing landscape features out of wood will offer a budget friendly option for any outdoor features around your home.

Composite, PVC, & Aluminum

Modernization has had it's affect on just about everything in our industrialized civilization and lumber products are no exception. Man-made alternatives which are essentially maintenance free include materials such as plastic and aluminum, taking the place of lumber in a lot of landscape projects we see today. These elements can most often be found used in applications such as gates, railings, stairs, privacy screens, deck surfaces, and other subcomponents. Offering extreme durability, engineered products offer even more versatility to the availability of color and style options to give any woodworking project more elaborate and unique details.

Combine the Elements

It is becoming increasingly rare for woodworking projects not to incorporate several man-made elements into the finished product. While initially budget friendly, structures made entirely out of lumber may not hold up to weathering over time without intensive maintenance and care, making preventative measures such as waterproofing joists and coating exposed surfaces with stains or sealers imperative to the extended lifespan of any wooden structure. Consider using more manmade materials for components such as decking and fencing to enhance the overall durability of a structure and help minimize necessary preservation efforts reducing the structures overall costs during the course of it's lifetime.

When it comes to incorporated woodworking features, our customization options to make it more personalized and entertaining can be limited only by our imagination. These features can often be incorporated in such a way that they are hidden out of site when not in use, and may include everything from lighting, storage, benches, hammocks, and doggy windows, to sports/fitness and entertainment related features, and more playful additions like sandboxes, slides, and swings. What functional features do you think would best suit your new deck?

Hide the Unsightly

Privacy screens are used for more than just keeping away your neighbors prying eyes. We offer construction of privacy screens as a solution for often overlooked eyesores like city utility boxes, air conditioners, pool equipment, trash bins, storage, and more. Small decorative picket-style fences can also offer an aesthetically pleasing and budget-friendly solution to defining borders and guiding foot traffic on your property. Decorative fencing can be considered the perfect solution to problems you may not have even realized existed.
