Deck Builders Serving Plymouth, Minnesota
Plymouth, Minnesota represents the ideal suburban landscape — spacious lots, quality homes, and families who value outdoor living. As the seventh-largest city in Minnesota, Plymouth encompasses diverse neighborhoods from the established areas near Medicine Lake to newer developments in the northwest reaches near Wayzata High School and beyond. Dream Decks has built hundreds of custom decks throughout Plymouth, establishing a reputation for quality craftsmanship and reliable service.
The city's varied housing stock — from 1970s split-levels and ramblers to contemporary two-story homes in newer developments — requires design flexibility and material expertise.

Plymouth Landscape Conditions & Deck Design Considerations
Climate
Standard Twin Cities climate with 42" frost depth. Plymouth's open terrain can experience higher wind loads on elevated decks compared to more sheltered areas.
Soils
Variable conditions ranging from sandy soils near Medicine Lake to clay-based soils in western developments. Wetland areas affect many newer neighborhood properties.
Drainage
Plymouth enforces comprehensive stormwater management. Newer developments have engineered drainage systems; older neighborhoods may require more site-specific solutions.
Permits
Plymouth Building Division processes permits efficiently — typically 5-7 business days. HOA approval required in many developments. We coordinate all necessary approvals.
Plymouth's position on the western edge of the developed metro means the city includes both established neighborhoods with mature landscapes and newer developments on former agricultural land. This creates varied building conditions we navigate daily. Near Medicine Lake and the French Regional Park corridor, soils tend toward sandy composition with excellent drainage. Western and northern developments often have heavier clay soils that retain moisture and require careful footing design.
Many Plymouth neighborhoods are governed by homeowners associations with architectural review requirements for exterior modifications including decks. We routinely prepare HOA submittal packages including design drawings, material specifications, and color samples. Our familiarity with common HOA requirements and professional presentation helps streamline the approval process.
Wetland buffers affect numerous Plymouth properties, particularly in newer developments that preserved natural features. Building near wetland boundaries requires setbacks and may limit impervious surface coverage. We work with homeowners and, when necessary, city planning staff to design decks that maximize your outdoor living space within regulatory constraints.

This 1990s colonial near Medicine Lake had an original 12x16 builder deck that no longer served the family's entertaining needs. We designed a complete transformation: a 480 sq ft upper level for dining with a built-in gas grill station, and a 280 sq ft lower level surrounding a fire pit with built-in bench seating. TimberTech PRO Reserve in Antique Leather provides rich color and texture. The Westbury aluminum railing system includes integrated post cap lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions — Plymouth Deck Building
Q:Does my Plymouth HOA need to approve my deck?
A: Most Plymouth developments have HOA architectural review requirements for exterior modifications. We prepare professional submittal packages including scaled drawings, material samples, and color specifications. Our familiarity with common Plymouth HOA requirements helps expedite approval.
Q:What composite decking brands do you install in Plymouth?
A: We're certified installers for all major composite brands including Trex, TimberTech, AZEK, Fiberon, and Deckorators. For Plymouth homes, we most commonly install Trex Transcend and TimberTech PRO Legacy — premium lines that offer superior performance and aesthetics at competitive pricing.
Q:Can you replace my old Plymouth deck?
A: Deck replacement is one of our most common Plymouth services. Many homes built in the 1980s-2000s have original builder-grade decks reaching end of life. We remove the existing deck, assess and repair ledger and framing as needed, and build a completely new deck meeting current codes and your updated design preferences.
Q:How do wetland buffers affect deck construction in Plymouth?
A: Many Plymouth properties, especially in newer developments, have wetland setbacks that limit construction near sensitive areas. We work within these constraints, sometimes using the setback limitation to create a design opportunity — like a lower viewing platform connected by stairs to a main deck within the buildable area.
