BUILT BY PEOPLE WHO CARE
Meet the people behind every Hardtwood project.
Meet The Founder
My name is Mathew Leonhardt, founder of Hardtwood Deck Builders. I started my business with a vision to bridge the gap between expert engineering and beautiful backyard designs. My goal is to bring a higher standard of care, structural integrity, and craftsmanship to local homeowners. Whether you want a relaxing space for family barbecues or a premium custom build, we ensure every project is designed safely, built beautifully, and crafted to last a lifetime.
My Story
I grew up working alongside my father in construction from a very young age, where I learned the value of hard work and building things right the first time. That hands-on experience inspired me to dive deeper into the field, leading to a Civil Engineering degree from the University of Toronto.
After gaining valuable experience managing large-scale highway projects down in Texas, I decided to return home to start a family and launch my own company. Hardtwood Decks allows me to combine my technical engineering background with my love for landscape construction, all while providing and building a beautiful life for my family.
My goal is simple: to bring top-notch quality, honest craftsmanship, and high standards to every property we touch.
Meet Alysha
Sales Consultant / Client Experience
Alysha is often the first person you'll meet at Hardtwood. From the initial consultation and project walkthrough to presenting your estimate and helping you through the decision-making process. She makes sure you know exactly what to expect before your project begins. You'll even see her again once the build is complete, capturing the finished project for Hardtwood's portfolio.
