Many homeowners struggle with backyards that lack space for relaxation or entertainment, limiting how much they enjoy their property. At Step By Step Outdoor Living, we provide expert deck building and composite decking services throughout Oak Ridge, NC, and the surrounding areas, transforming underutilized spaces into functional retreats.
Our team works as a dedicated masonry contractor and outdoor living specialist to design structures that withstand the elements while looking incredible. Whether you need a low-maintenance solution or a custom layout for hosting, we handle every step of your deck installation with precision.
Here’s a look at what we offer when it comes to our deck building and composite decking services.
As a premier deck builder, we highly recommend composite decking for its impressive longevity and resistance to fading and warping. Composite decking allows you to enjoy a beautiful, splinter-free surface without the constant need for staining, sanding, or sealing.
Safety meets style with our custom railing options, available in sleek aluminum or modern metal wire. We ensure these essential features complement the overall design of your new outdoor living area while meeting all safety codes.
Our deck builders can maximize your backyard's potential by creating distinct dining and lounging zones through tiered designs. These structures work exceptionally well for properties with sloped yards or unique landscapes, adding dimension and utility to the space.
We can reinforce your structure to support heavy appliances, creating the perfect foundation for an alfresco cooking station. Integrating a kitchen area turns a standard deck into a true entertainment hub for family and friends.
While we specialize in modern materials, our team also provides traditional lumber options for those who prefer the classic look and feel of natural wood. A standard wood deck installation offers a timeless aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the surrounding nature.
With our outdoor living spaces and hardscape construction services, we bring together practical design and long-lasting craftsmanship to shape outdoor areas that feel good to use every day. We build custom patios, kitchens, walkways, fire features, and shaded spaces with materials that hold up beautifully in North Carolina’s changing seasons.
Retaining walls from Step By Step Outdoor Living are crafted to stabilize tricky soil conditions while adding a clean, polished look to your landscape. We design and build block, stone, veneer, and boulder walls with tiered layouts, proper drainage, and optional steps or planters to keep everything performing as it should.
Our masonry and stonework services enable us to create durable, detailed features for both homes and commercial properties. We work with natural stone, brick, bluestone, and concrete to build patios, walkways, fireplaces, steps, and accent walls that bring character and long-term integrity to your space.
Patio installation services from our team give you a sturdy, stylish outdoor surface that stays level and looks great for years. We install paver, stone, and concrete patios while handling grading, drainage, overlays, expansions, and add-ons such as lighting, steps, or seating walls.
Our concrete driveways, walkways, and patios are poured to deliver strength, structure, and a clean finish that boosts curb appeal. We create foundations, slabs, sidewalks, garage floors, and pool decks, with options such as stamped, exposed aggregate, and colored concrete for a custom touch.
Our crew's in-ground pool construction combines custom design, high-quality materials, and smooth project management into a seamless process. We build concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools with features such as sun shelves, seating, LED lighting, and waterfalls, and we can complete the area with fencing and proper drainage if requested.
Our land clearing and grading services help get your property ready for builds, patios, pools, and new landscaping in a clean and efficient way.

Composite decking holds up well in Oak Ridge because it resists moisture, fading, and temperature swings better than standard wood. Many homeowners choose it for long-term durability and lower upkeep in the humid Triad climate.
Most new decks in Oak Ridge require a building permit because they must meet safety guidelines for load limits, height, railings, and structural support. Local regulations help ensure the deck is built to code and can safely support frequent use.
The installation timeline depends on the deck size, complexity, and materials, but most standard projects take one to three weeks. Larger builds, multilevel layouts, or outdoor kitchen decks may require additional planning and preparation.
Composite decking generally performs better in the Triad because it resists rot, insects, warping, and fading. Wood decking still works well for homeowners who prefer a traditional look, but it needs more maintenance to stay in good condition.
A typical deck installation includes site evaluation, structural planning, material selection, framing, decking installation, and finishing touches like handrails or steps. Properties with slopes or outdoor kitchens may require grading, additional supports, or extended design work.
