Looking for unexpected value? Choose Playin in the Dirt.
Our Project: We needed an upper and lower deck built along with a fence, so the scope of the project was large and intricate.
Results: Chris and his team delivered a gorgeously designed product, meeting our needs every step of the way. The unexpected value is the in details: gorgeous hand rails, all posts were framed, beautifully designed stairs, framed decking, chevroned privacy screen, and the fence is one of a kind. Not to mention we stayed on budget and the project was complete in exceptional time.
If you're looking to get any decking or fencing done, give Chris and his team a call. They will deliver a final design that's beyond your expectations.

Negative reviews are strange…since when are people perfect?! These guys did my fence last year and did a great job, very down to earth and easy to deal with. Will be seeing them again next month. Everything is energy and vibes…either it’s there or it’s not! You have a problem, put your pride aside approach Chris and he’ll deal with you accordingly it’s that simple.

Horrible experience. Stay away. Not to be trusted. Not reliable. Not respectful. Cut corners. Barely any concrete used to hold fence post back filled 3/4 of hole with dirt. I will need to finish the job myself. Can go on and on. Sadly I paid them only so they would leave.

We strongly recommend Playin In The Dirt for any of your fence and/or deck building needs. Owner Christopher is of the old school where a solid work ethic and attention to detail results in quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Christopher’s son Bodie and employee Sean carryout the hands on work and their workmanship and talent far exceeds their years. These guys have a bright future ahead of them in the deck and fence construction business. Overall the Playin In The Dirt crew were extremely professional, competent and a pleasure to have on our property! Thanks again guys and a special thanks goes out to Stephanie (Christopher’s wife) for the beautiful potted plants!

I can't say enough about the owner Chris, his son Bodie and his new hire Alex. Upstanding gentlemen and a company with heart!

The new hire Alex spotted my gargoyle in a backyard in Oshawa, and with the help of the owner Chris, his son Bodie and the Durham Region Police, it was recovered!
Playin in the Dirt goes above and beyond fences and decks. They are a company with heart!!
