In Ocean County, outdoor living isn't just an option—it’s a lifestyle.

Serving Bayville, Forked River, Toms River, Manahawkin, and all of Ocean County, we turn ordinary backyards into extraordinary retreats tailored to your vision.


Our Custom Decking Solutions

We don't believe in "cookie-cutter" decks. Every project we undertake is custom-engineered to fit your home's architecture and your family’s needs.

  • High-Performance Composite Decks

    Given the salt air and humidity of the Jersey Shore, composite decking is a homeowner favorite.


    • Low Maintenance: No more staining, sanding, or painting. Just a quick wash, and you’re ready for the season.
    • Top Brands: We are experts in installing premium brands like Trex, Azek, and TimberTech, offering superior resistance to fading, scratching, and mold.
    • Heat-Resistant Options: We can help you select lighter shades and "cool-deck" technologies that stay comfortable for bare feet, even in the August sun.

  • Traditional & Tropical Hardwood Decks

    For those who love the unmatched warmth of real wood, we offer premium timber selections:


    • Pressure-Treated Southern Yellow Pine: The classic, budget-friendly choice for a sturdy, reliable deck.
    • Ipe & Exotic Hardwoods: For a luxury, "resort-style" feel, these woods offer incredible density and a natural resistance to the elements.

  • Multi-Level & Specialty Designs

    Maximize your view and your square footage with complex layouts:


    • Multi-Tiered Spaces: Separate zones for dining, lounging, and grilling.
    • Pool Decks & Surrounds: Custom-contoured decking that turns your pool area into a cohesive entertainment hub.
    • Integrated Features: We can incorporate built-in seating, planters, and storage solutions directly into your deck design.

The ZGM Custom Difference

  • Ocean County Local: We understand local building codes from Barnegat to Brick. We handle the permitting process so you don't have to worry about the red tape.
  • Superior Craftsmanship: Our "measure twice, cut once" philosophy ensures tight joints, level surfaces, and a structure built to withstand Jersey Shore winters.
  • Custom Railing & Lighting: We offer a wide array of glass, cable, and ornamental railings, along with integrated LED stair and post-cap lighting for nighttime ambiance and safety.
  • Transparent Communication: From the initial 3D design to the final walkthrough, you’ll stay informed every step of the way.

  • Forked River & Bayville: Specializing in waterfront decks and elevated designs.
