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.

The workers were very pleasant and our questions were answered quickly throughout the project.Posted on Google Brett HansonAugust 31, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. CHS just finished our deck rebuild. We had a great experience throughout the whole process. The communication was great, the crew was professional and did great work and the deck looks amazing. We had quite a few weeds growing around the deck, which I planned to clean up once the job was done, but the guys even did some weeding and left everything looking better than when they showed up.Posted on Google Colleen KalinaAugust 30, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We hired Chuck & Heather at CHS Custom Decks & Design to install under-decking and build a custom outdoor bench, the result exceeded our expectations. From the first consultation they were professional, listened to our ideas, offered smart suggestions, and gave a clear, fair estimate. The under-deck system looks clean, sheds water effectively, and has transformed the space into a usable, dry area; the bench is beautifully built, comfortable, and perfectly matched to our style. The crew was punctual, efficient, and left the site tidy each day. We’re very happy with the craftsmanship and would recommend CHS Custom Decks & Design to anyone looking for thoughtful design and reliable installation.
