Add A Custom Deck To Your Backyard Oasis
Types of Decking
What are some of the best types of decking to use in Utah? We find that pressure-treated wood decking or composite decking does well in our hot summers and wet winters. Whichever you choose, we ensure superior craftsmanship for every deck we build.
Wood Decking
Wood is the classic material to use for constructing a solid deck, and has been for decades. Nicer lumber such as cedar or mahogany will be far more durable but will also increase the cost of the project. Let’s discuss the best option for your home’s style and your deck’s purpose.
Composite Decking
Although wood is a more traditional choice, composite decks have become a popular synthetic option. Composite decks utilize plastic building materials like polyvinyl and combine them with particles of cost-effective wood. Why choose composite decking? These materials are designed to be more durable and better outlast the elements than wood decking.
Customize Your Deck With Cottonwood Landscapes
Platform Decks
Platform decks are relatively simple, as they 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 them off from the rest of the outdoor landscape. You can beautify your platform deck with planters, furniture, and shade structures.
Multi-level 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 slopes, a multilevel deck can help you adjust to each portion of the land.
Two-story Decks
Two-story decks work 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 levels 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.

A phenomenal job on the paver patio, the focal point of the yard. They were able to provide me with a landscaping vision that I could understand. I had bids from other companies who wanted to cut corners and use low quality materials. The plants and trees that were planted grew well. Their 6 inch steel edging is great. Drip watering in all planter beds.Donna Schell2024-06-10Amazing work.
