The Program
Giving Back to Those Who Served
Stoneridge Decks & Outdoor Living donates free custom decks to veterans in our community. No strings attached. No catch. Just our way of saying thank you to the men and women who have served our country.
We have donated custom decks to veteran families across Virginia, giving them an outdoor space that improves their quality of life and creates a place for their families to gather, relax, and enjoy time together.
Know a veteran who deserves a new deck? Nominate them below.
Latest Build
The Bateman Family, Frederick County
Our most recent Decks for Vets build was completed in February 2026 at the Frederick County home of Ryan and Jessica Bateman and their daughter, Madison. Ryan is a retired U.S. Army veteran who recently returned home after a two year deployment.
While Ryan was deployed, Jessica held everything together as a stay at home mom, taking care of the kids and managing the household on her own. The family wanted a safe outdoor space where the kids could play outside and everyone could finally spend time together again.
The Bateman family received a full custom deck with railing, stairs, and a dedicated outdoor dining and grilling area. The project was designed, permitted, and built entirely by our Winchester crew at no cost to the family.
Couldn’t have done it for a more deserving veteran family. Ryan and his family are awesome!
