Lake Anna Deck Solutions
Built on Faith, Teamwork, Respect, and Craftsmanship.

Lake Anna Home Solutions was born from a friendship, trust and a shared love for craftsmanship and community. Longtime friends and seasoned professionals, Mike, Eva, and Chris joined forces after Chris completed the remodel of Mike and Eva’s Lake Anna home—a project that showcased the superior quality, care and attention to detail that define their approach. Together, they combine decades of leadership, construction and design experience to deliver beautiful and durable outdoor living spaces. Their partnership reflects a simple promise: to craft exceptional outdoor living spaces with integrity, pride and precision—built to bring people together and stand strong for generations.

Mike Matalone

Founder & Managing Partner

Mike Matalone, Founder and Managing Partner of Lake Anna Deck Solutions, brings a deep passion for building—both exceptional outdoor spaces and strong, high-performing teams. With over 30 years of experience in leadership, business development, and talent strategy, Mike launched Lake Anna Deck Solutions with one clear goal: to deliver premium craftsmanship and reliable service to the Lake Anna community.

For the past 8 years, Mike has worked behind the scenes with home improvement contractors across the country, through his other business XP3 Talent,  helping them build high-performing teams that drive growth and operational excellence—including Outback Deck, one of the top-ranked composite/PVC deck builders in the U.S. Now, with Outback Decks Guidance he’s bringing that same level of professionalism, discipline and care directly to homeowners here at Lake Anna.

Lake Anna Deck Solutions is backed by Mike’s decades of experience and a proven track record of building businesses rooted in trust, accountability and results. He personally oversees each project, ensuring it meets the highest standards of quality and safety from start to finish.

Outside of work, Mike enjoys lake life with his wife, spending time outdoors (ideally on the lake), and staying actively connected to the community he proudly serves.

His approach goes beyond blueprints — he believes in adding a personal touch to every project, creating a level of care and connection rarely found in residential construction.

At Lake Anna Deck Solutions, Chris ensures that customers are never just a number. Instead of being filtered through portals, clients enjoy a direct line of communication with the person responsible for bringing their vision to life. He values each relationship and is committed to building not just structures, but lasting trust and spaces where memories are made.

Jeremiah “Frogg” Lazenby

Project Consultant

Jeremiah “Frogg” Lazenby’s journey into carpentry started long before he ever set foot on a job site. As a kid, he spent countless hours building forts, treehouses, and anything else he could dream up — projects that sparked a lifelong passion for creating things with his hands. What began as youthful curiosity quickly grew into a deep respect for craftsmanship, precision, and the satisfaction of seeing a vision come to life.

Over the years, Frogg transformed that childhood passion into a career built on quality and integrity. He’s mastered a wide range of carpentry skills — from structural framing and intricate finish work to custom furniture and outdoor living spaces — always holding himself to the highest standards of excellence.

Today, as our Project Consultant at Lake Anna Deck Solutions, “Frogg” brings his experience, creativity, and dedication to every project he’s part of. He takes pride in listening closely to each client’s vision, ensuring every deck, dock, or outdoor space is built not only to last, but to elevate the way families enjoy life at Lake Anna.

Frogg and his wife are proud to call Lake Anna home, where they enjoy being part of the community they serve — helping neighbors create beautiful outdoor spaces that reflect the lake lifestyle they love.
