Meet Our Founder
Alex Baker
Born and raised in Texas, Alex Baker’s passion for building began at a young age, growing up with his grandfather by his side . Alex watched his grandpa create everything with his own two hands. Whether it was constructing a massive, one-of-a-kind house or crafting a rocking horse that would be passed down through generations, Alex was there, learning the value of hard work, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. Those formative years spent by his grandpa’s side left a lasting impression, shaping Alex’s love for building and design. After moving to Colorado, Alex had the opportunity to work for one of the state’s largest and most respected decking companies. There, he discovered his true passion for outdoor living spaces, blending his love for quality craftsmanship with the desire to create beautiful, functional environments that bring families together. Now, as a father of two toddlers, Alex understands more than ever the importance of having an outdoor space where families can relax, connect, and make memories. Whether it’s a safe place for the kids to play or a peaceful retreat to unwind, Alex knows firsthand how essential a thoughtfully designed outdoor space can be for a growing family. After gaining valuable experience in the decking industry, Alex moved to Tennessee and founded River Stone Decks and Outdoor Living. His mission was simple: to bring exceptional, personalized outdoor spaces to homeowners — spaces where families can connect, relax, and create lasting memories. With a dedication to quality, innovation, and sustainable design, Alex continues to build upon the lessons he learned from his grandfather, ensuring that every project is crafted with care, precision, and the highest level of craftsmanship. Today, Alex is proud to lead River Stone Decks and Outdoor Living, creating outdoor living spaces that reflect his lifelong passion for building, his commitment to family, and his belief that the best moments in life happen when we gather outdoors with the people we love.
