Transform your composite deck into a green oasis
Whether you're in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada, landscaping your composite deck with suitable plants can transform your outdoor space. At Magasin de Patio, specialists in composite decking and outdoor landscaping, we work with premium brands Fiberon, TimberTech, Trex, and TruNorth to offer you a durable and aesthetic base. Discover how to select and integrate the best plants for a unique and inviting deck in Quebec.
Choose your plants according to three essential criteria
- Sun exposure: evaluate the hours of sunlight. Some species prefer partial shade (begonia, lobelia), others full sun (lavender, marigolds).
- Drainage and soil type: on a composite deck, use pots or planters with drainage holes to prevent standing water.
- Maintenance and durability: identify your availability for watering and pruning. Succulents or ornamental grasses require little maintenance, while hydrangeas or roses need more care.
Our recommendations for a successful deck in Quebec
- Caladium: spectacular contrast with its pink and red leaves; ideal in partial shade and humid climates.
- Begonia: abundant flowers without intensive cleaning; perfect under a Fiberon pergola.
- Lavender: soothing fragrance near your relaxation area; thrives in full sun on a Trex deck.
- Ornamental Grass: structure and movement with Purple Fountain Grass; creates intimacy on your TimberTech composite deck.
- Hydrangea: abundance of pastel flowers all summer; be sure to provide some shade in the afternoon.
- Succulents: ultra-resilient, require little water; choose lightweight containers suitable for your TruNorth structure.
- Lobelia: shades of blue and purple, excellent for hanging on your deck in Quebec railing.
- Herbs: basil, mint, or chives for an outdoor kitchen corner, direct and decorative.
- Bamboo: fast-growing plant screen; install a root barrier to limit invasion.
- Boxwood: evergreen shrub, pruned for neat silhouettes near your composite deck.
- New Guinea Impatiens: tropical colors in pots; keep the soil consistently moist.
- Marigolds: endless blooms until frost; place them facing south on your deck.
