The big thing is- how high off the ground will this deck be?
I like the idea of concrete piles. Yes, call the Alberta 1 Call people, and as I have found with so many of my home renovations: "Do it once and do it right." Are you planning on staying there for several years? Then do it right.
Even if you are planning on selling, you don't want to sell your place, buyer does a home inspection and finds the deck doesn't have appropriate support- giving him a reason to ask you to drop the price by a few thousand or lose the deal.
