Lakefront Deck Specialists for Prior Lake and Spring Lake Properties

Prior Lake's lakefront properties present the most technically demanding deck work in Scott County. Lots along Prior Lake and Spring Lake frequently involve significant grade changes — five to fifteen feet of elevation drop toward the water — requiring multi-level deck structures, tall post systems, and engineering that accounts for lateral loads. The dock-to-deck transition is a common feature: homeowners want a seamless connection from the main entertaining deck down to the dock level, which requires coordinating with DNR shoreland rules and the city's setback requirements from the ordinary high water mark. The Spring Hill neighborhood has some of the most premium properties in the area, and the design expectations match.

For lakefront decks on Prior Lake and Spring Lake, moisture-resistant composite is essentially the standard. Constant lakeside humidity, boat spray, and the wet conditions around dock transitions accelerate decay in any wood product — even well-maintained cedar. Capped composite from Trex or TimberTech holds up in this environment without graying, cracking, or requiring annual treatment. Aluminum railing systems complement composite on lakefront properties and eliminate the rust risk that painted steel introduces in a waterfront environment. We build these systems to last decades in Prior Lake's demanding conditions.
