Custom decks, fences, and outdoor living spaces for Gaston homeowners at the edge of Oregon wine country.
Gaston's Trusted Outdoor Living Experts
Gaston is a small agricultural community in western Washington County, situated along Highway 47 between Forest Grove and the Yamhill County wine country to the south. The town sits at the edge of the Tualatin Valley where farmland gives way to the forested foothills of the Coast Range, offering a rural lifestyle within 45 minutes of downtown Portland. Properties around Gaston include in-town residential lots, small acreages with pasture and hobby farm operations, and larger parcels that border the vineyards and hazelnut orchards that define the surrounding landscape.
The Gaston area occupies a unique position in the wine country corridor that stretches from Forest Grove through Carlton and McMinnville. While the community itself is more agricultural-working-class than the upscale tasting-room atmosphere of Dundee or Newberg, the surrounding landscape shares the same gently rolling terrain, well-drained Jory soils on the hillsides, and heavier Willamette clay in the valley bottoms. This wine country proximity increasingly draws homeowners who want rural space with vineyard views at a fraction of what properties cost further south in the Dundee Hills. Outdoor living spaces on Gaston properties take advantage of the open landscape — west-facing decks capture sunset views over the Coast Range foothills, and the relatively gentle terrain makes site preparation more straightforward than mountain or Gorge construction.

Why Gaston Homeowners Choose Us
Rural lot expertise. Gaston properties are larger than suburban parcels, often featuring open pasture, agricultural buildings, and landscapes that require thoughtfully scaled outdoor structures. We design decks and pergolas that complement the rural setting — proportioned to match the home and landscape without feeling undersized for the property. For larger lots, we build fence runs sized for acreage and position structures to capture the open-sky views that define the area.
Soil-appropriate foundations. The Gaston area features the same soil mix found throughout the wine country corridor: well-drained Jory series on the hillsides and heavier Willamette clay in the valley bottoms. Foundation design must account for which soil your home sits on, because clay soils behave very differently than hill soils during the wet season. We evaluate soil conditions during our free on-site consultation and specify footing design matched to your specific lot.
Washington County permitting. Gaston is an incorporated city, though many surrounding properties are in unincorporated Washington County. We handle permitting through both jurisdictions, including the plan review and inspection processes. Our familiarity with Washington County building codes keeps projects moving through the permitting process efficiently.
Wine country aesthetic sensibility. Gaston’s proximity to the Willamette Valley wine country means homeowners here increasingly want outdoor spaces that reflect the refined rural character of the region. We build entertainment-grade decks and pergolas designed for hosting — open layouts, quality materials, and clean design that complements the surrounding agricultural landscape.
Gaston Deck Building FAQ
Yes. Deck permits within Gaston city limits are processed through the city, while properties outside city limits go through Washington County’s Land Use and Transportation division. Most decks attached to the home or elevated above 30 inches require a permit. We determine which jurisdiction applies to your property and handle the complete permit process from application through final inspection.
Capped composite decking is our primary recommendation for Gaston properties. The area receives standard Willamette Valley rainfall with moderate temperatures, and composite handles the wet-dry seasonal cycling without the cracking, warping, and mold that affect natural wood. For properties with significant sun exposure, capped composite also resists UV fading far better than wood stain. We bring material samples to every consultation.
Gaston deck projects follow standard Washington County pricing: approximately $30 per square foot for pressure-treated wood up to $75+ per square foot for premium composite. A 300 square foot composite deck typically runs $15,000 to $28,000 depending on product selection and site complexity. Rural properties with straightforward terrain often keep costs on the lower end of this range. Free estimates are provided at your property.
Yes. We regularly work on acreage properties throughout western Washington County. Larger lots allow for more generous outdoor structures and longer fence installations.
