Fences & timber / Salt Spring Island
Frame the garden.
Make room for living.
Fences, decks and outdoor timber structures on Salt Spring Island. SOL builds the elements that define outdoor spaces and connect them to your home.
Privacy, warmth
and a sense of place.
A fence can give a garden definition. A deck can extend everyday living outdoors. Timber brings warmth and texture to these spaces, alongside planting, paving and concrete.
Led by Taylor Willms, SOL Landscapes + Construction works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers on Salt Spring Island. We discuss the purpose, materials and construction details of each timber element as part of the wider landscape.
Meet Taylor ↗Fences & outdoor woodwork
Garden fences
Fencing that defines outdoor spaces and complements the home. Share the proposed location, approximate length and the privacy or enclosure you want to achieve.
Privacy screening
Timber screening considered around seating areas, neighbouring views and the way you use the garden. Layout, spacing and materials are discussed around your plans.
Decks & timber steps
Outdoor platforms and connections between the house and garden, with the scope and construction details reviewed alongside your design team.
Outdoor timber structures
Timber elements that help define places to gather and spend time outside. Send drawings or reference photographs so Taylor can discuss the structure you have in mind and the requirements of the project.
Plan the details
together.
For a fence inquiry, include photographs of the proposed fence line, approximate dimensions and whether an existing fence needs replacing. For decks or other structures, drawings and photographs of the connection to the house are useful.
Site access, changes in level, materials and the relationship to surrounding work help define the scope. Any design, approval or engineering requirements need to be established for the specific project before construction.
Timber work can be coordinated with hardscaping and paving, concrete and planting as part of a complete outdoor space.
Before we begin
Where does SOL build fences and decks?
SOL is based on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. Include your property location when you contact Taylor so site access and project logistics can be discussed.
Can I inquire about a fence on its own?
Yes. Send Taylor the location, approximate dimensions, photographs and preferred timing. He can review the proposed scope and discuss whether it is a fit.
Can you work from our designer’s drawings?
Yes. SOL works with homeowners, landscape architects and designers. Share your plans and material references so the construction details can be reviewed together.
Which timber and finish should we use?
The choice depends on the design, exposure, desired appearance, maintenance expectations and budget. Share any material preferences with Taylor so they can be considered alongside the construction requirements.
Can fences and decks be part of a larger landscape project?
Yes. SOL also offers concrete, paving and planting. Discussing the work together helps establish a coordinated scope and sequence. View all services.
