PrintDeck & Patio
Decks and patios extend the footprint of your home into nature, creating defined, durable spaces that encourage outdoor living from morning coffees to late-night garden parties. They can be used to create a visual and physical gradient from the structure of your home to the planted landscape beyond– offering a sweet spot between the shelter of the house and the freedom of the outdoors.
Design tips:
- Decks sit higher than ground-level, which adds interest to the landscape by breaking up visual elevations and creates usable space over uneven or unchangeable terrain, such as areas full of healthy tree roots.
- Patios sit at or near ground level, which creates a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape.
- Decks and patios often feel smaller once furnished. Leave room for circulation around seating and dining areas.
