Kayden did an amazing job on our home renovation! He painted our home and updated our kitchen cabinets, and everything turned out beautifully. He was friendly, professional, and took great pride in his work. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for quality work!
The guys did a great job. Very happy with the end result. Highly recommend. Hard workers!
I'm very proud to say Kayden takes pride and satisfaction in the quality of work he does, from lawn care to landscaping.
Very professional and more than competitive in pricing!
Great service, super quick to respond and show up. Really appreciated their help. Did a great job.
Had Kayden from Edwards come over to aerate, feed and fertilize our backyard to continue his wonderful work from last year.

Composite vs pressure-treated decking in North Bay: which is better?
Pressure-treated is the budget choice and looks like real wood, but it needs staining or sealing every year or two. Composite costs more up front and is nearly maintenance-free, which pays off over a deck's life. Here is how the two compare for a North Bay build.
| Factor | Pressure-treated | Composite |
|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Lower | Higher |
| Maintenance | Stain or seal every 1 to 2 years | Wash occasionally, no refinishing |
| Lifespan | Roughly 15 to 20 years | 25 years or more |
| Look | Natural wood grain | Uniform, many colours |
| Underfoot | Can splinter over time | Smooth, warmer to bare feet |
| Best for | Budget and a natural look | Low upkeep and the long term |
How Edwards builds a deck that lasts in North Bay
A deck is only as good as what is under it. In North Bay, that means footings poured below the frost line and a frame built to carry real Northern Ontario snow load. Here is how Edwards Landscape & Construction builds one that stays solid and level for decades.
Footings below frost
Dig and pour concrete footings below the North Bay frost line so the deck never heaves.
Posts & beams
Set the posts and beams that carry the whole structure, dead level and plumb.
Ledger & joists
Bolt a flashed ledger to the house, then hang the joists that span the frame.
Decking
Fasten the deck boards down straight, tight, and squeak-free.
Railings & stairs
Build code-height railings and solid, even stairs.
Final inspection
A code inspection where required, then the walkthrough.
The result is a solid, level structure that stands straight through decades of frost heave and heavy Northern Ontario snow load, from West Ferris and Pinewood to Callander, Corbeil, and Sturgeon Falls.

Hiring one contractor for the whole build is the difference between a project that stays on schedule and one that stalls between trades. Kayden Edwards pulls the permits, books the trades, schedules the inspections, and stands behind the finished work with a 3-year workmanship warranty. It is the same standard Edwards brings to a driveway or a garden, scaled up to a deck, a garage, or an addition, and it means the homeowner never has to chase five separate people to get one job done right.
Construction questions, answered
How much does a construction project cost in North Bay?
Most construction projects run $15,000 to $50,000, depending on the project. A new deck typically falls between $12,000 and $35,000, while a detached garage or a home addition starts around $35,000. Larger builds are quoted individually after an on-site visit.
Do you build decks, garages, and additions?
Yes. Edwards Landscape & Construction builds decks, covered structures, pergolas, detached garages, outbuildings, and home additions, and takes on exterior renovations, all managed by one crew and one point of contact.
Do you handle permits and trades as a general contractor?
Yes. As the general contractor, Edwards Landscape & Construction pulls the permits, books and coordinates the trades, schedules inspections, and keeps the project on track, so the homeowner deals with one contractor instead of five.
How deep do deck footings need to go in North Bay?
Deck and structure footings in North Bay must be poured below the frost line, roughly 1.2 metres or four feet, so frost cannot heave them. Edwards Landscape & Construction digs and pours footings to code on every build.
Is composite or pressure-treated decking better?
Pressure-treated costs less up front but needs staining or sealing every year or two. Composite costs more but is nearly maintenance-free and lasts longer. Edwards Landscape & Construction builds in both and recommends based on budget and how the deck will be used.
