Add A Custom Deck To Your Backyard Oasis

Types of decks

Whether you’re a young family, just starting out, or you want a space for your grandchildren to run and play, high-quality decks can make a great addition to any home. Here are some different materials that you can use to make your dream deck a reality…

Wood decks: Wood is the classic material to use for constructing a solid deck, and has been for years and years. In 2016, a wooden deck cost consumers between $15 to $25 per square foot. However, the price, and durability, of a wood deck largely depends on what kind of wood you use. Nicer lumber, such as cedar, or even a nice mahogany, will be far more durable, but set you back much further, in terms of cost.
Composite decks: Although wood is a more traditional choice, recently, composite decks have become a popular synthetic option. Composite decks utilize plastic building materials, like polyvinyl, and combine it with particles of cost-effective wood. Although the materials are relatively cheap, there are costs associated with manufacturing composite materials, and so they are more expensive to install than wooden decks. However, over time, composite decks are designed to be more durable and better outlast the elements.

Customize your deck

Platform decks: Platform decks are relatively simple, as they are simply decks that are built at ground level to offer a platform from which to enjoy the rest of your yard. Platform decks usually have a railing around them to help section it off from the rest of the outdoor landscape, and also utilize planters for landscaping potential.
Multilevel decks: Multilevel decks are usually a combination of platform decks that are at different vertical levels, and require stairs to move from level to level. If you have a yard that is not flat, and has hills or divots, then a multilevel deck can help you adjust to each portion of land.
Two-story decks: Two-story decks work really well for homes with a wrap around porch, and are usually a more classic craftsman style home. A two-story deck can be accessed from both the first and second level of a home, and offers ample deck space on the top and bottom levels.
Raised level decks: Raised level decks are quite similar to platform decks, in that they are typically single level decks with a railing that goes around the entire level. However, a raised level deck is precisely that: raised. Usually, a raised level deck is accessed on the second (or even third) level of a home, and is held up by support beams around the perimeter.

  They were very professional—showing up exactly when they said they would, and things looked exactly how they described. And whenever anything did deviate from expectations, they were quick with communications. I could not expect anything more.

  Cottonwood Landscapes built a 20' semi-circular raised patio with pavers, along with some related projects that also involved electrical, carpentry and masonry.  My feedback is very positive.  Their design skills are excellent.  They had a much better vision of the finished product than I did.  Their crews were professional, dependable and talented.  They knew what they were doing and showed up for a full day of work every day.  They also had very good masonry and carpentry subs.  And they were generally responsive and easy to work with. I will say this--they aren't cheap. There were some charges that had me scratching my head and we did have a few back and forths.  But the questionable charges were relatively small compared to the overall price and I would much rather have a finished product that I love than take a minor price reduction.  I would recommend them with confidence, especially for those with high standards.

  Overall I would say I am pleased with the design process and the installation. I had them regrade the slope and replace almost everything in my back yard. They replaced some clay with soil, regraded everything to slope away from the house, added a paver walkway, installed sod, and several other items.  The workers showed up on time and worked very hard to get job done right and in a timely manner. The landscaping is beautiful, the paver walkway looks amazing, and most of the project looks great. You can tell that they know what they are doing and care about their work.

My only frustrations were how they accidentally broke a rock feature and also how they missed some quality checks. Missing paver sand, pop up drains being buried too deep, and other minor items would all be quick and easy fixes if they had inspected the work or else responded to my requests before the ground froze.

The good news is that they agreed to look at the missed items, and they agreed to fix them later… but I will have to wait 3-4 months for the ground to thaw and then hope that they are still willing to resolve everything then.  They definitely got the most important things completed correctly in this project, and it really does look great.  But it would have been a better experience if the final touches had been completed correctly and in a timely manner.

  Not easy to locate, lacking any signage, but I was finally able to find the right Building.
