Trex Deck Builder in Garrison, NY

Garrison is where the Hudson Highlands close in tight on the river. Lots are steep, ledge is shallow, and the views are the entire reason the house is positioned the way it is. A deck here has one job: hold the line between the living space and the view, without ever looking like it's working hard to do it.

Building into a Highlands hillside

Most Garrison decks cantilever off a slope, not a flat backyard. That changes the foundation conversation immediately. Concrete piers placed in shallow, rock-shot soil will move. We default to helical pile foundations driven to engineered depth — and where ledge is at the surface, we pin concrete directly to rock. The right answer is whichever one the site actually rewards.

Railing that holds the view

A Garrison view deserves a railing that disappears. Trex Signature aluminum railing in cable or frameless glass keeps the sightline to the river open, holds up to the humid valley climate without rusting or pitting, and reads as architectural rather than added on. We have built the home of the Trex Hudson Horizon Haven flagship project just down the road — the standard we set there is the standard we bring here.

Engineering, permits, and the Town of Philipstown

Garrison falls under the Town of Philipstown, and elevated decks here almost always require stamped structural drawings. We include engineering and permits in every proposal — never a line item, never billed back. Submissions, revisions, and inspections are handled in-house so you're not chasing the building department on your own time.
