Patio Design in Shoreview.

“Awesome rail. Looks great. Very clean. I like the fact there are no sleeves. Very very classy. Highly recommend you buy it.”

“Define Decks does amazing work! Highest quality materials and workmanship, I’m beyond satisfied with my deck. The owner is extremely knowledgeable and skilled in deck design. I’d recommend this company to anyone looking for a really nice deck that’ll last.”

“Hal Morris, owner and craftsman for Garden Structures & More, is surely one of the few remaining craftsman out there that stands behind his work and will undoubtedly give you more than what you are expecting. His detail, work ethic and abstinence from junk materials ultimately give his clients a very meaningful product in the end. I am a landscape designer and Hal has done great things not only for my clients, but I trust nobody else to build at my house (outdoor or indoor). You are not going to get work completeted from Hal like many of the McDonlad's-type order 'em up and send them out type contractors these days, but when you have waited your turn you will not be unhappy with Garden Sturcture's final product.

“We hired Jim and his crew for the first time in 2008. We were pleased with their work and called them again a few weeks ago. Jim came out to our house, arriving promptly at the scheduled time, talked through options, and gave us a competitive bid for a new composite deck. Only one week later the deck was done! We're very happy with Jim and Tim and crew. Thanks guys!”

“Everything was great! Before the process began, Tim sat down with my husband and I to discuss our needs and the look we were hoping for in the finished product. Tim's expertise and knowledge led us to our final decision to use buckskin stone for our project. It is a beautiful stone, and able to withstand the weight we need it to support, considering that the tall wall has our patio / deck situated above it. Tim arrived early (but not too early) each morning and worked long days in order to maximize his time and accomplish as much as he could each day. He was respectful, and kept the work area safe, especially when he left each evening. We have three small children, so that was very important to us. The demo was quick, and Tim disposed of the old timbers and other "junk" that was once part of our retaining walls and got to work leveling out the dirt and prepping for placement of the new blocks. Watching the walls come together was fun for us. It went much faster than we anticipated, and the project was ultimately completed in a couple of weeks. We went with a variation of stone sizes on our smaller (shorter), terraced walls in order to add some dimension and pizzazz to an otherwise boring wall. Tim took extra caution to ensure his safety and the safety of our family during the project. Especially when he left each day, and needed to leave large blocks or fill (gravel) in our street for use the following day. We had to remove a panel of our fence in order for the bobcat to fit through, but it was easy to re-attach when the project was completed. (Added bonus: our kids loved watching the tractor work). We are thrilled with the completed product! We have received compliments from family, friends, and complete strangers as they walk past our home. Ultimately those compliments are directed back to Colonial Stone. Their work is fantastic and well worth the investment. I cannot say enough great things about this business! I would trust them to take on any future project I may have, as well as refer them to my friends and family.”

“We would like to express our thanks to A Better Outlook for the fabulous deck they built for us, and are fortunate a friend told us about Pete and his company. The quality of work is top notch, the price was reasonable and every evening during the construction our backyard was not dangerous for our dogs. Our primary concern was having a comfortable deck that was safe for our family and friends, but A Better Outlook went above and beyond. There are many details, such as routing on the hand rails, we were not expecting that make it a fantastic outdoor space. We highly recommend A Better Outlook to anyone needing a deck replacement, and plan to have them build a covered section on our new deck in the near future.”
