When you’re planning a deck, patio, or outdoor living project, you want two things: quality materials and expert guidance. Many homeowners and contractors think they have to choose between the variety of a big box store and the personal service of a small, local supplier. At Outdoor Specialties, you don’t have to choose—we give you the best of both worlds.

Here’s what makes us different, and why so many Maryland homeowners, builders, and landscapers turn to Outdoor Specialties for their decking and outdoor project needs.

Expert Advice You Can Rely On

At big box retailers, you might find yourself wandering aisles looking for someone to answer your questions—only to discover they have limited experience with the products you need. At Outdoor Specialties, our team knows outdoor materials inside and out.

We’ve spent years working with decking, railing, pavers, and specialty outdoor building products. That means we can recommend the best materials for your specific project, budget, and design goals. Whether you’re a seasoned contractor or a first-time DIYer, you’ll get guidance tailored to your needs—not generic advice.

A Huge Selection of Quality Products

One of the reasons people shop at big box stores is variety. We offer that same variety—and often more—but with a curated approach. Every product we carry has been selected for its performance, durability, and value.

Our inventory includes:


Instead of choosing from a limited in-stock selection, you’ll have access to a wide range of materials—many of which aren’t available at chain stores.

Personalized Service from Start to Finish

Your project isn’t just another transaction to us—it’s something we want to help you get right the first time. We’ll walk you through your options, provide material samples, and help you compare choices side-by-side. Need an estimate? We’ll make sure it’s accurate and based on your specific measurements.

We’re also here to help after the sale, whether you have installation questions or need additional materials.

Support for Both Homeowners and Contractors

We work closely with both DIY homeowners and professional builders. Contractors love that we provide quick quotes, dependable delivery, and consistent product availability. Homeowners appreciate that we explain the pros and cons of different materials and help them make confident choices.

No matter your experience level, our goal is the same: to make your project as smooth and successful as possible.

Local Roots, Community Focus

We’re not a chain with a corporate office hundreds of miles away—we’re a locally owned business that values our customers and our community. When you shop with us, you’re supporting a local team that invests in the area and takes pride in every project we help bring to life.
