Pressure-Treated Decks in Fargo ND — Solid, Affordable, Built to Last

Serving Fargo, Moorhead, and Surrounding Areas

Pressure-treated lumber is the most widely used decking material in the Fargo area — and when it's built right, it holds up for decades.

ABOUT OUR PRESSURE-TREATED DECKS

Pressure-treated lumber is the backbone of most decks built in the Fargo-Moorhead area — and for good reason. It’s affordable, widely available, strong, and when installed correctly, it resists the rot and insect damage that shorter-lived wood species can’t handle. LT Outdoor Living builds pressure-treated decks across Fargo, Moorhead, West Fargo, and surrounding communities. We use quality lumber grades and build with the framing and footing systems this climate demands. Call (320) 699-0611 for a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look at your space.

When You Need a Pressure-Treated Deck

Pressure-treated decking is the right call when you want a durable, well-built deck at a lower upfront cost than composite or cedar. It’s the most practical choice for most budgets and most yards in the Fargo area. PT lumber handles moisture well, resists rot and insect damage, and is strong enough to meet the structural demands of North Dakota’s snow loads and temperature swings. It does require some upkeep — staining or sealing every few years keeps it looking good and extends its life. If you’re building your first deck, replacing an old one, or adding outdoor space on a defined budget, pressure-treated is where most people start.

Our Pressure-Treated Deck Process

Every build starts with a site visit and a 3D design so you know exactly what you’re getting before work begins. We source quality pressure-treated lumber — not the lowest-grade boards that warp and split within a season. Footings go in first, typically helical piers to handle the freeze-thaw movement in the Red River Valley’s soil. Then the frame, built with properly spaced joists and a ledger connection that’s flashed and sealed correctly against the house. Surface boards go down with the right gap spacing for drainage and expansion. We finish with railings, stairs, and any extras, then do a full walkthrough. Most pressure-treated deck builds take one to two weeks from start to finish.

Pressure-Treated Deck Cost in Fargo

Pressure-treated decking is the most affordable wood option for new deck construction in Fargo. Final cost depends on the size of the deck, the complexity of the design, and what features are included — stairs, railings, built-ins, and lighting all affect the total. We give you a written, itemized quote before any work starts. No vague estimates, no costs that show up at the end. Permit costs are included from the beginning so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Why Choose LT Outdoor Living

We build pressure-treated decks the way they should be built in this climate — with footings that don’t shift, framing that carries snow load, and lumber that’s properly graded for outdoor use. LT Outdoor Living is locally owned and operated in the Fargo-Moorhead area, licensed and insured in both North Dakota and Minnesota. Luke oversees every project personally. You get a 3D design preview before anything is built, a written quote before anything is signed, and a crew that shows up and does what they said they’d do.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I started thinking about a new deck, I only had a general idea of what I wanted it to look like.  Luke provided lots of ideas, and options that I had not thought of.  He is very knowledgeable about engineering requirements, materials, and design.  This project turned out better than I had hoped for.  I highly recommend LTOutdoorLiving for your project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke and his crew will go above and beyond for you!  He is very respectful of the project and your time. He kept in contact with us and let us know how everything was going every step of the way. Luke put a new set of stairs on our pre-existing deck.  Safety for our family was number one in his books. He built the strongest set of stairs I think I have ever seen.  I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Luke and his crew again!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Luke is a impressive person, respectful of others and trustworthy, I have a special needs daughter and I had no issues at all or worries about leaving her at home while he and his team were here working, I had asked him to look out for my daughter and my elderly mother,  he gave me his word that he would. It was a absolute pleasure to work with him and his team. His attention to detail, and his strive for excellence gives him the edge over the rest. Hard worker, very skilled craftsmanship and has the ability to overcome any of the challenges in deck building. Honest, trustworthy, and high integrity. He gave me a quote, I told him my budget and he was able to work things out and stay within his quote. I couldn’t be happier with the work that he had done! I should have called him years earlier, so nice to enjoy the maintenance free deck and patio now. Any future with the building needs I may have I will be sure contact him, highly recommend LT Out Door Living !!!! Thanks again Luke.

I needed two piers put into the ground within the week and they rearranged their schedule to get me in to keep my project going on. Awesome people to work with and did a great job. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn't be happier with the experience I had working with LT Outdoor living! From the very first day, he showed up with a smile on his face and a can-do attitude that instantly put me at ease. It’s rare to find someone who not only takes pride in their craft but also goes above and beyond to make sure your needs are fully met— Luke did exactly that. He listened carefully to what I wanted, offered helpful suggestions, and paid attention to every detail. One of the standout parts of the process was that he offered a 3D design of the deck before construction even began. It was incredibly helpful to see exactly what the finished product would look like—it gave me peace of mind and made it easier to make confident decisions about layout and features. Thank you so much Luke!!
