BUILDING OUTDOOR SPACES IN DEXTER
Dexter properties range from walkable neighborhoods near the village center to newer subdivisions and more rural homes with larger lots and varied terrain. Outdoor projects need to fit not just the home, but how the property is actually laid out and used.
With over 20 years of experience working in the Dexter area, we regularly build in and around the village, including surrounding townships where grading, drainage, and lot orientation all play a role in how a deck or porch should be designed and built.
Whether it’s tying into an existing home, working through elevation changes, or planning for long-term durability through Michigan seasons, each project is approached with those local conditions in mind.
Recent Projects in Dexter
We have completed deck and outdoor living projects throughout Dexter, including new deck construction, rebuilds, and upgrades to existing structures.
The examples shown here reflect real work completed in the Dexter area, with each project designed around the home, property layout, and how the space is used day to day.
Trex Composite Deck Rebuild in Dexter, MI
This Dexter project involved a full deck and landing rebuild, designed to create a clean, open outdoor space that takes advantage of the wooded backyard setting.
All decking components, including the main surface, stair treads, double picture frame, partition board, fascia, and risers, were finished in Trex Transcend Tiki Torch for a consistent, low-maintenance result. The railing system features Key-Link cable rail with black posts and stainless horizontal cables, maintaining sightlines into the yard while providing code-compliant safety.
The updated layout improves usability and flow, with materials selected for long-term performance and durability in a shaded, tree-covered environment.
Trex Transcend Backyard Bridge in Dexter, MI
This Dexter project involved rebuilding a small backyard bridge to improve both durability and appearance while tying into the surrounding landscape.
The structure was finished entirely in Trex Transcend Rope Swing, including the decking surface, picture frame, fascia, risers, and newel posts for a consistent, low-maintenance finish. The railing system uses Trex Signature black aluminum, providing contrast and clean lines while maintaining long-term durability.
The result is a functional crossing that fits naturally into the yard, with materials chosen to handle moisture, seasonal movement, and ongoing outdoor exposure.
