CHS Custom Decks & Design is your trusted deck builders for safe and attractive outdoor spaces. We offer outdoor deck lights that merge style with safety, elevating your backyard with intentional design.
Working with CHS Custom Decks & Design means you get more than a light fixture. You get function, safety, and visual appeal in every install. From post cap lighting to pathway illumination, we match each system to your outdoor layout.

Proper lighting around stairs, railings, and pathways helps reduce the risk of trips and falls, especially during evening hours when visibility naturally drops.

From soft glows to dramatic highlights, lighting sets the tone. Whether you're hosting guests or unwinding solo, a well-lit deck elevates the entire mood of your outdoor space.

Your deck doesn't need to go dark after sunset. With the right lighting, your evenings outside can stretch longer—more dinners, more conversations, more quiet moments.

Integrated lighting makes your deck look complete and thoughtfully designed, which translates to stronger curb appeal and potential returns when it's time to sell.

Modern LED systems offer impressive brightness with minimal power usage. Some setups even allow smart scheduling or solar integration, reducing long-term costs.
We work closely with you to plan the perfect lighting layout, considering your deck’s structure, intended use, and personal style for a customized, balanced look.
Our team handles every part of the installation process—from mounting fixtures to adjusting placement—ensuring a clean, secure, and efficient setup that lasts.
Licensed and experienced, we take care of all wiring and connections in-house. No need to hire outside electricians or worry about complicated electrical code requirements.
Take control of your lighting with smart technology. We install systems that let you schedule, dim, or adjust brightness using your smartphone, tablet, or home automation setup.
We seamlessly tie in your deck lighting with surrounding landscape features like walkways, gardens, or patios to create a cohesive outdoor lighting experience that flows naturally.

TimberTech’s lighting systems are crafted with the same attention to detail that makes their decking materials so popular. Their LED fixtures are low-maintenance, eco-conscious, and seamlessly integrate with composite decking for a clean, unified look.

Known for bold design and outdoor innovation, Deckorators offers lighting that complements a wide variety of deck styles. Their post cap lights, stair lighting, and recessed fixtures provide both function and visual flair without overwhelming the space.

Westbury lighting focuses on subtle sophistication. Their fixtures are designed to pair beautifully with aluminum railing systems, creating understated accents that highlight architectural lines and outdoor features without drawing too much attention to themselves.
EXCELLENT Based on 37 reviews Posted on Anabell BondDecember 19, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my backyard completely remodeled by CHS Custom Decks & Design here in Rosemount, and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, the team was professional, attentive, and clearly focused on making sure the entire process went smoothly. The project included a new pool, an aluminum patio cover, a beautiful fireplace, and a high-end outdoor BBQ area, and every part of it exceeded my expectations. The pool looks amazing, with clean finishes that make the space feel like a private resort right at home. The aluminum patio cover has a modern look and provides the perfect amount of shade while tying in nicely with the rest of the design. The fireplace has quickly become a favorite spot on cooler evenings, and the outdoor BBQ area is both practical and great-looking. What stood out most was the communication throughout the project. The crew showed up on time, kept the area clean, and addressed questions or concerns right away. The attention to detail really shows in the final result, and I’m extremely happy with how the backyard came together.Posted on David FinnessyDecember 15, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredibly easy to work with and responsive. Chuck and Heather came out to my home multiple times to make sure we had the right plan in place and also met with me at one of their previous projects at my request so I could see their work. Deck is great and price was better than any other contractor that I considered.Posted on Catherine VuDecember 4, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I are building a home, and from the beginning knew we were interested in creating an "indoor/outdoor" type patio to optimize enjoying the seasons of Minnesota. After a lot of research, I reached out to different vendors and talked to different varying companies. After reading about MagnaTrack and the unique technology, I knew I wanted to learn more about the product. Chuck was not only very prompt with calling me after I submitted an inquiry, he is very knowledgeable and detailed, which is what I am also searching for speficially. His extensive experience is something I value immensely as a customer, especially when choosing to pursue something for our home. My husband and I got to see our MagnaTrack screens go in today, and we both are so incredibly happy with the result. Chuck and his team did a great job. As a customer, I am very happy with the service CHS Custom Decks and Design provided. If anyone is interested in motorized patio screens, I would recommend looking into MagnaTrack screens and I would absolutely recommend Chuck and CHS Custom Decks & Design to do the job! 10/10!!Posted on Amy JordanOctober 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with CHS! They repaired my deck and my electric pergola, and the results exceeded my expectations. The team was communicative, efficient, and went above and beyond in every way. They showed real attention to detail and pride in their work, and it truly shows in the finished product. It’s rare to find a company this reliable and professional. I can’t recommend them highly enough!Posted on Dave OrbeckistanAugust 21, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chuck and Heather were great. Heather helped us with design. We came out with a better design, more usable space, great look. The crews were fantastic. Hard working, friendly, talented. Chuck is just on top of things. We had a small miscommunication with the look of the stairs. Chuck was so quick to get that fixed. And noticed the wood frame around the window and doors could look better with new material. Really looks good. The deck looks just greatPosted on Allen ShawJuly 14, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CHS does great work from start to finish.
