Meet the Builder

At Deck and Drive Solutions, every project begins with a deep respect for design, craftsmanship, and the families living with the results.

Aaron Rouse started this company after a successful career designing homes at one of the top residential architectural firms in the country. He helped bring neighborhoods to life in Dallas and Las Vegas for seven years. But the tangible, hands-on experience of building something lasting drew him back to his roots.

He founded Deck and Drive Solutions in 2009 to combine high-level design with detail-driven construction, creating outdoor spaces that feel as intentional as the homes they serve.

Built From the Ground Up

We’ve been building decks for over two decades. Before that, we learned by doing—working side-by-side with our father, who started building homes and framing decks in 1984. His experience shaped our understanding of what it means to do things right the first time. That legacy shows up in the way we plan, the way we build, and the way we treat our clients.

We don’t believe in shortcuts. We believe in clear plans, well-thought-out details, and materials that match the performance our clients expect.

What Makes Our Approach Different

Aaron’s background in architecture means we see every project with a designer’s eye. From layout and flow to how materials perform under weather and time, we aim to create spaces that are functional as they are beautiful. Whether you want a straightforward build or a multi-level custom deck with complex structural needs, we approach each job with clarity and care.

We are licensed in Iowa (C110184), fully insured, and trusted by leading brands like TimberTech and Trex. Local publications and professional peers alike have recognized our reputation for quality, but our most incredible honor is our clients’ trust in us.
