Deck & Pergola Builder Utah — Custom Wood, Cedar & Composite Trex Builds
A&E builds custom decks and pergolas across Utah's southern and northern counties. Pressure-treated lumber, cedar, and composite Trex — licensed, permitted, and engineered to Utah building code.
The Benefits of a Custom Deck or Pergola in Utah
A custom deck or pergola is one of the highest-return outdoor investments a Utah homeowner can make — adding usable living space, increasing property value, and transforming how you use your outdoor area year-round. At A&E Hardscape & Construction we've been building custom decks and pergolas across Utah for over 15 years, from single-level pressure-treated decks in Davis County and Iron County to multi-level composite Trex builds with integrated pergolas for mountain properties in Summit County and Wasatch County.
As a licensed B-100 General Contractor we handle every phase of your deck project — structural design, permitting, footing installation, framing, decking installation, railing systems, and finishing. Every deck we build is engineered for Utah's specific climate conditions — the snow loads of Summit County, the temperature swings of Iron County, and the UV exposure across all of Utah.

Decks & Pergolas We Build in Utah
Every property and budget is different. We build decks and pergolas in every style and material across Utah.
Pressure-Treated Wood Decks
Budget-friendly pressure-treated lumber decks that provide solid outdoor living space at the lowest cost. Can be painted or stained. Requires periodic maintenance but is the most accessible entry point for Utah homeowners looking to add deck space.
Cedar Decks
Western red cedar decks that bring natural warmth and beauty to Utah properties. Cedar has natural rot and insect resistance — requires periodic sealing or staining but develops a beautiful natural patina. Popular in Park City and Cedar City.
Composite Trex Decks
Composite decking from Trex and similar manufacturers — the best long-term choice for Utah's climate. Handles UV exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and temperature swings without fading, warping, or splintering. Zero maintenance beyond occasional washing. Higher upfront cost pays back in eliminated maintenance.
Attached Pergolas
Custom pergolas attached to your home that provide partial shade and define your outdoor living space. Built with cedar, redwood, or composite materials to match your deck or patio. Popular addition to both new and existing decks across all Utah service areas.
Freestanding Pergolas
Freestanding pergola structures positioned anywhere on your property — over a patio, pool deck, or in your yard as a standalone shade and gathering structure. Available in multiple sizes, materials, and roof styles including open beam, lattice, and louvered.
Multi-Level Decks
Multi-level deck designs that follow the grade of your property — creating distinct outdoor living zones at different levels connected by steps and transitions. Popular for sloped Utah lots in Summit County, Wasatch County, and Cache County.
Why Utah Homeowners Choose A&E for Decks & Pergolas
Deck building in Utah isn't one-size-fits-all. A deck in Park City has to handle 150+ inch snowfall seasons with snow loads that would collapse a deck built to lower-elevation standards. A deck in St. George has to handle intense UV exposure and heat that degrades materials differently than northern Utah. A deck in Cedar City deals with both extremes. A&E has been building decks across all 9 Utah counties for 15 years — we size the structural members correctly for your county's snow load, specify the right materials for your climate zone, and pull all required permits and pass all inspections before calling a job complete.

Our Deck & Pergola Build Process
Free Design Consultation

We prepare and submit all required building permits including structural drawings where required. For decks in higher snow load zones like Summit County and Cache County we ensure all structural members are correctly sized for your local requirements.
Footing Installation & Framing
We dig and pour concrete footings to the correct depth for Utah's frost line in your county, install structural posts and beams, and complete the full deck frame before any decking material is installed. The frame is inspected before proceeding.
Decking, Railings & Finishing
We install your chosen decking material, railing system, steps, and any pergola structure. We complete a thorough final inspection, coordinate the building department final inspection, and do a complete walkthrough with you before the project is closed out.

Do you need a permit to build a deck in Utah?
Yes. Most decks over 30 inches above grade require a building permit in Utah. Requirements vary by city and county. As a licensed B-100 General Contractor A&E handles all permits and inspections for deck and pergola projects across all 9 Utah counties — from Iron County to Cache County.
What is the best deck material for Utah's climate?
Composite Trex decking is the best long-term choice for Utah's climate — it handles UV exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and temperature swings without fading, warping, or requiring annual maintenance. Cedar is the best natural wood option. The right choice depends on your county, budget, and maintenance preferences — A&E helps you choose during the free design consultation.
What is the difference between a pergola and a deck?
A deck is a raised platform that creates outdoor living space. A pergola is an open overhead structure with beams and rafters that provides partial shade and defines the space — often built over a deck or patio. A&E builds both independently and as combined deck-plus-pergola projects across all 9 Utah counties.
