Glencoe, IL’s Deck Builders and Outdoor Living Specialists

A well-designed outdoor space adds livable square footage to your home, and Erdmann Outdoor Living has the experience to give you exactly that. We’ve served Glencoe, Illinois, as trusted deck builders and outdoor living designers since 1982. If you’re looking for someone to craft an outdoor space that will help you make the most of your backyard, you can come to us for the entire project, including design, permitting, and construction. Our certified backyard and outdoor living designers combine thoughtful design with proven materials to create outdoor spaces that enhance daily life.

Our Outdoor Living Services in Glencoe

Erdmann Outdoor Living focuses on a targeted selection of outdoor living upgrades to offer curated products and installation expertise: 

• Custom Deck Building: We exclusively install TimberTech decking products. Even without seasonal maintenance, TimberTech boards resist fading, staining, moisture, and mold in ways traditional wood cannot match, especially over time. We’ll design a custom deck to complement your home and provide a detailed rendering before construction begins, so you can see exactly what you're getting.

• StruXure Pergola Installations: StruXure pergolas feature a motorized louver design that gives you precise control of sun and shade, and the integrated aluminum frame handles rain and winter storms without difficult maintenance. This unique product offers customization options for frame finishes, louver colors, and accessories, so you can create an outdoor room that is uniquely your own. 

• Motorized Screen and Outdoor Shade Installations: A pergola addresses excessive sun exposure, but insects, wind, and too little privacy require different solutions. We install Hideaway Screens that are there when needed and retract out of sight otherwise. These integrated systems work seamlessly with our louvered pergolas, allowing you to manage multiple environmental factors for total outdoor comfort.

We’re a design-focused company. That means you’ll get the opportunity to work with a certified backyard and outdoor living designer to define your goals and find a solution that meets your needs and blends seamlessly with the rest of your home. This design process culminates in a custom rendering before construction begins. This rendering lets you refine details before you commit to any materials or construction starts.
