Courtice has grown quickly over the past several years, and a lot of newer builds still have unfinished backyards. The Setting Stone Company builds custom decks and fences for Courtice homeowners — from Highway 2 corridor properties to the newer subdivisions closer to Darlington — priced fairly, with a free on-site quote before any work begins.

Affordable shouldn’t mean risky. We keep our decks and fences within reach for Courtice homeowners by giving you a clear, itemized quote up front — no inflated first offer designed to be “negotiated down,” no vague allowances that balloon once work starts. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying for before we break ground, and we’ll walk you through where wood saves you money upfront and where composite saves you money over time, so you can pick what actually fits your budget.

A large share of our Courtice projects are backyards that came from the builder as a blank slate — no deck, no fence, just sod. We help homeowners here sequence the build sensibly: fence first for privacy and safety if you have kids or pets, deck next, so you’re not paying to work around each other’s construction. Courtice’s proximity to Darlington Provincial Park and the waterfront trail also means a lot of homeowners want a deck built for entertaining and outdoor living, not just a small landing off the back door.
Local experience with Courtice-specific soil and grading conditions
Deck footings and fence posts set below the frost line so structures don't heave or lean
Built to local building codes and municipal permit requirements
We make it easy to bring your outdoor vision to life with a smooth, step-by-step process focused on quality, communication, and lasting results.
We visit your Courtice property, measure the space, and talk through what you actually want to use it for — before we talk materials or pricing.
You get an itemized quote showing wood vs. composite (or wood vs. vinyl fencing) costs side by side, so you're choosing based on real numbers, not guesswork.
Our crew builds it — footings, framing, decking, fencing — with no subcontracted labour and no shortcuts on what's below the surface.

Cost depends on size, material, and site conditions like grading or existing structure removal. Pressure-treated wood is the most affordable decking material upfront; composite costs more initially but needs far less maintenance over time. The only way to get an accurate number for your property is a free on-site quote — we don't give ballpark phone estimates because every yard is different.
In most cases, we recommend the fence first, especially if privacy or containing kids/pets is a priority — it defines your usable space and gives you a secure yard while you plan the rest. The deck can go in afterward without needing to work around a half-finished perimeter.
Most decks over a certain height or attached to the house require a building permit in Clarington. Fences typically don't need a permit but are subject to local bylaw height restrictions. We'll confirm what applies to your specific project before work begins.
Some newer Courtice subdivisions have subdivision-specific fencing requirements set by the builder or developer in addition to Durham's municipal bylaws. We'll check both before finalizing your design so there are no surprises after installation.
A well-built, properly maintained pressure-treated deck typically lasts 20 to 30 years in Ontario conditions. The lifespan comes down to whether the footings were set below the frost line — which is where we never cut cost, even on budget-conscious builds.
