Summer in Stratford is all about soaking up the sunshine, hosting friends and family, and enjoying your outdoor space to the fullest. If your backyard needs a boost, these five outdoor structures can transform it into a functional and beautiful retreat — and Player Carpentry and Masonry is here to bring your vision to life.
1. Custom Decks – Your Backyard’s Centerpiece
