7 Deck Design Ideas – Take Your Deck from Plain to Fabulous

Multi-level deck with dining area

A deck should be more than just an afterthought. It should be a well-used focal point of your yard.

Decks can raise property value and also provide extra space for your family’s outdoor gatherings. If you want your deck design to be something special, we can add some custom options to improve both its looks and its functionality.

Wire Deck Railing

Having some sort of railing is imperative on decks, especially if you have little ones running around or maybe just some clumsy friends who are accident-prone.

The problem is traditional wood railing can block your view and looks outdated and bulky. We can update your deck with the sleek, high-end look for wire railing.

Having us install a wire railing will allow you to see the beautiful scenery around you while remaining safe. Wire railing comes in a variety of colors, patterns, and sizes, depending on your preference.

Composite Decking

Replacing your old wood deck with composite decking looks great and requires no maintenance. Wood decks need to be sanded, resealed, and stained, which costs money and can be very time-consuming. With a composite deck design, you don’t have to do any of that!

Composite decks are more durable than their wood counterparts and can last up to 50 years. Your initial investment will be higher if you opt to have us install a composite deck, but it will pay off since it will last much longer than a wood deck, and you won’t have to worry about any upkeep.

Different “Outdoor Rooms”

When you think of a deck design, do you think of one large open space? It doesn’t have to be.

We can create separate areas for eating, cooking, or just relaxing, just like you have inside the home. Depending on the amount of space you have, we can cover some areas while leaving others open. This way you can enjoy different areas during various times of the day and different seasons as well.

Covered Deck Areas

Many of our clients have a big complaint about their deck space because it’s too hot to enjoy during the summer.

We have a solution; we can build a cover for your deck to let you enjoy the outdoors without being in direct sunlight. This will also allow us to install misters or a ceiling fan to help keep you cool on those hot summer afternoons. 

Outdoor Fireplaces

Outdoor fireplaces are both visually appealing and a great gathering point. A fireplace will also allow you to use your deck in the cooler months.

Multiple Level Deck Designs

Let’s go all out on your deck and make it multiple levels if you have the space. This will make your home and backyard look incredible and be the perfect place for hosting parties and get-togethers.

Water Features

Adding a water feature to your deck will help to transform your deck into a peaceful space where you can enjoy the tranquility of nature.

Whether you have an existing deck or an empty space in the yard to start from scratch, we are here to help create a space that the entire family will enjoy.
