Elevated Decks: Expand Your Outdoor Living Space with Style

Elevated decks offer a unique way to enhance your outdoor living space, creating a functional and stylish area above ground level. Whether you’re looking to maximize a sloped yard or create a private retreat, elevated decks provide both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. Discover the advantages of elevated decks and how they can transform your outdoor experience.

Benefits of Elevated Decks

  • Enhanced Views: Elevated decks provide elevated vantage points, offering better views of your landscape and surroundings. Enjoy a panoramic view of your garden, yard, or neighborhood from the comfort of your elevated outdoor space.
  • Increased Privacy: By raising your deck above ground level, you can create a more private outdoor area, shielded from the view of neighbors and passersby. This added privacy makes elevated decks ideal for relaxation and entertaining.
  • Utilize Sloped Terrain: Elevated decks are a perfect solution for sloped or uneven terrain. They allow you to make the most of challenging landscapes by creating a level outdoor area above ground, often with built-in steps or a staircase.
  • Under-Deck Space: An elevated deck provides additional space underneath that can be used for storage, a covered area, or even a shaded patio. This extra space enhances the functionality of your outdoor area.
  • Aesthetic Appeal: Elevated decks add architectural interest and visual appeal to your home. With various design options, including railing styles, decking materials, and finishes, you can customize your elevated deck to match your home’s style.

  • Structural Support: Proper structural support is essential for elevated decks to ensure safety and stability. Work with a professional to design and build a solid foundation, including posts, beams, and joists that can support the weight of the deck.
  • Access and Safety: Consider the design of stairs or ramps to provide safe and convenient access to your elevated deck. Ensure that railings are properly installed and meet safety codes to prevent accidents.
  • Material Selection: Choose durable materials that can withstand the elements and provide a long-lasting surface. Options include pressure-treated wood, composite decking, and aluminum railings, each offering different benefits in terms of maintenance and aesthetics.
  • Weather Protection: Depending on your climate, consider adding features such as a pergola or roof cover to provide shade and protection from the elements. This can help extend the usability of your elevated deck throughout the year.
  • Integration with Landscaping: Integrate your elevated deck with your surrounding landscape for a cohesive look. Use landscaping elements like plants, lighting, and hardscaping to enhance the deck’s visual appeal and functionality.

Elevated Deck Construction Process

  • Planning and Design: Start by planning your elevated deck’s design and layout. Consider factors such as size, shape, materials, and any additional features you want to include.
  • Site Preparation: Prepare the site by leveling the ground and installing the necessary foundation. This may involve digging post holes or using concrete footings to support the deck’s structure.
  • Building the Deck: Construct the frame, including posts, beams, and joists, and then install the decking boards and railings. Ensure that all components are securely attached and meet building codes and safety standards.
  • Finishing Touches: Add finishing touches such as stairs, railings, and lighting. Personalize your elevated deck with features like built-in seating or planters to enhance its functionality and appearance.

Decks, Decks, & More Decks made the process from start to finish so easy. The 3D computer program they use helped my wife and I decide on the size and materials of the deck. The construction crew built the deck as if they were building their own with precision and care. There may be other companies out there that are less expensive but you get great customer service, a reputable company, and good craftsmanship when you select Decks, Decks, & More Decks.

Had them redo our deck in Aug 2018. It was a GREAT experience working with Robert Walker very pleasant and easy to work with. Provided us with specific information on the step by step process from the moment we signed the contract until the deck was complete. The crew that came to our house was professional and easy to work with. I would highly recommend this company. They also give a military discount for veterans. Professional from top to bottom.

Love, love, love our new deck!! We went from a small builder deck to a roomy, maintenance-free extended living area. We designed the deck in their showroom to fit our desires, lifestyle and budget. It was great to see 3D computer images of what our new deck would look like before it was built! Every detail was documented and double checked. The crew was there when they said they would be there, and they cleaned up every night before they left...We highly recommend Decks, Decks & More Decks. Our deck has exceeded our expectations.

From the initial consultation through the construction process, this was the best experience we have ever had with a contractor. The communication, attention to detail, and professionalism was second to none. Every day we look out at our new composite deck we love it more and more. We wish we could give six stars, we would.

We are so happy with our new deck and appreciate all the hard work. They helped us with a design to fit our budget and our needs. Great communication and timing was perfect.
