Creating the Perfect Deck

November 19, 2019

Boring decks are out and comfortable seating, cooking appliances, outdoor fireplaces, and built-in bars are in! Creating these fun masterpieces can be an extensive project, which means it should be well thought out before beginning your design process. Here are a few tips we suggest thinking about:

•What’s the Purpose?
A successfully designed deck should be an expression of your lifestyle and should look like an extension of your home. Your deck should match your homes style, size, and décor, complimenting its environment and blending well with the elements that surround it.
•What Size?
Consider what you will be using your new deck for. In addition to the space any activities will take, also consider traffic flow and furniture you plan to use. A helpful tip: Mark out the space on your grass- this will give you a good idea for the space and how large it should be.
•Appearance
We offer many different materials from stained or sealed wood, to a lower maintenance vinyl which resists warping and rotting.
•Best Location
Maximizing the amount your deck gets used is our priority. In doing this, you must consider the direction your home and yard faces. For example, if you want your new deck to face the sun, think about how you will incorporate shade, possibly with a pergola or gazebo. You may also want to consider your neighbors with a design that will provide you with privacy.
