When you need outdoor space that holds up to salt air, moisture, and the kind of weather New Jersey coast sees throughout the year, the materials and methods you choose matter as much as the design. You want a deck that stays solid underfoot after wet winters and a dock that remains stable when you walk out to tie off a boat or watch the tide come in.

Capstone Landscape Design builds custom decks and docks for residential properties and select commercial sites across Brick, Point Pleasant and the surrounding areas. The work includes selecting durable materials that suit the property, constructing frames and surfaces to meet local code requirements, and ensuring the finished structure can handle consistent exposure to moisture and coastal conditions. Every installation is overseen by the owner to maintain consistent quality from layout to final inspection.

If your property in Brick, Point Pleasant or the surrounding areas needs a deck for gathering space or a dock for waterfront access, reach out to discuss what the site requires and how the structure should function.

The process starts with assessing your property to determine soil conditions, drainage patterns, and proximity to water if applicable. You receive a layout plan that accounts for sun exposure, access points, and how the structure connects to existing features like doors, pathways, or shoreline. Material selection follows, with options that balance longevity with the look you want and the budget you have.

Once construction begins, you will notice the frame going up first, secured with fasteners and hardware designed to resist corrosion. Decking boards or dock planks are installed with proper spacing to allow water drainage and prevent warping. Railings, stairs, and edging are added last, all built to code and checked for stability before the project wraps.

The timeline depends on the size of the structure and site conditions, but most residential decks are completed within one to two weeks and docks within a similar window depending on permits. The work does not include electrical wiring, plumbing, or landscaping around the finished structure, though coordination with other trades can be arranged if needed. What you get is a structure ready for use the day it is finished.
