CHS Custom Decks & Design delivers backyard transformations that blend comfort, beauty, and purpose. As a top rated company serving the Twin City Metro Area, we offer custom outdoor solutions that elevate everyday living. Whether you want a fire feature, a pavilion, or a full outdoor kitchen, our team is ready to build your vision. We are open now and offer online estimates.
We build fully integrated outdoor environments. As experienced outdoor kitchen builders and patio and pergola contractors, we help you design a space that fits your lifestyle. From family firepits to outdoor bars, we focus on function, beauty, and long-term durability.

Add elegance and protection from the elements with a custom-built pavilion. Perfect for dining areas or lounging spaces, pavilions provide shade and architectural interest to any backyard.

Stylish and practical, our sheds do more than store tools—they complement your home’s design and help you keep your outdoor space clutter-free and organized.

Whether wood-burning or gas, a custom fire feature sets the stage for evening conversations, late-night s’mores, and year-round outdoor enjoyment in Minnesota’s unpredictable weather.

Hosting is easier when the bar is just steps from your patio. From stonework to sleek countertops, we design bars that are both functional and visually striking.

Upgrade from a simple grill to a full outdoor kitchen setup. With storage, prep space, and built-in appliances, outdoor cooking becomes effortless and stylish.

There’s nothing quite like sinking into a hot tub after a long day. We can incorporate it seamlessly into your deck or patio for privacy and comfort.

Create a sense of separation and intimacy with privacy screens that block the view while still letting in air and light—ideal for townhomes or densely packed neighborhoods.

Need a little more separation? Custom privacy walls give you full coverage and a beautiful backdrop for your space—especially useful near hot tubs or dining areas.

A covered pavilion or heated fireplace makes your space usable even in chillier months. We build with Minnesota's climate in mind, so you’re not limited by the season.

From an outdoor bar to built-in seating, every element is designed to enhance hospitality. Your backyard becomes the go-to spot for gatherings—large or small.

Spending time outdoors reduces stress and improves well-being. Whether it’s morning coffee on a quiet bench or soaking in your hot tub, these moments matter.

Outdoor features aren't just lifestyle upgrades—they’re smart investments. Buyers increasingly seek homes with well-designed exterior spaces.

No cookie-cutter templates here. We listen closely to your ideas and build with your goals in mind, creating a space that genuinely fits how you live.
A classic for a reason. Wide arms, angled backs, and timeless lines make Adirondack chairs ideal for lakeside lounging or casual fireside conversation.
Stretch out and soak up the sun. Our lounge chairs bring a resort vibe to your own backyard, whether placed by the pool or under a shaded pergola.
Nostalgic yet functional, rocking chairs provide gentle movement and unbeatable comfort on porches, decks, or tucked into a corner of your pavilion.
Built-in benches offer smart seating without taking up extra space. Integrated into your deck or around a firepit, they’re both subtle and practical.
No outdoor setting is complete without a central surface. We offer sturdy, weather-resistant coffee tables that tie your seating area together beautifully.
Sometimes the smallest piece makes the biggest difference. Side tables add convenience for drinks, books, and décor, right where you need them.
From built-in grills to under-counter refrigerators, our outdoor kitchen additions are customized to fit your cooking habits and hosting style.
We collaborate with you to create design-driven, lifestyle-based solutions. As experts in custom firepit installation and outdoor kitchens, we listen to your ideas and bring them to life with precision and professionalism.
From design to installation, every detail is handled by experienced professionals. We create luxury outdoor spaces that match your lifestyle and enhance your property.
We offer free consultations, online estimates, and seasonal discounts. We are open now and ready to start planning your next backyard project.
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.

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the excellent work you did on our deck! From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and hassle-free.
