Decks

A custom deck can expand usable outdoor living space while creating a natural connection between the home and landscape. Above Grade Landscape & Design can incorporate hardwood decks and composite decks into larger outdoor designs that may include patios, retaining walls, walkways, pergolas & planting areas.

Deck design begins with understanding the home's elevation and how people will move between indoor and outdoor spaces. A deck may provide direct access from a kitchen, family room or bedroom while creating a platform above the yard.

Hardwood decking offers natural warmth and texture, while composite decking provides another material option for homeowners seeking a consistent manufactured appearance. Each choice can be coordinated with stone, granite and other hardscape materials.

A deck can also serve several purposes within the same project. One portion may be designed for dining, another for seating, while steps can connect the structure to a lower patio or garden.

Stone steps, retaining walls and patios can create attractive transitions between an elevated deck and surrounding terrain. Pergolas can add overhead definition, while fencing can provide additional privacy.

The deck should not appear disconnected from the landscape. We consider its proportions, material colors, surrounding stonework, planting areas and relationship to the home's architecture.

For Manchester, NH homeowners, Above Grade Landscape & Design develops deck concepts as part of complete outdoor environments. Whether the project involves a new elevated entertainment area or a deck integrated with a larger patio and landscape renovation, our focus is on function, craftsmanship and cohesive design.
