About deck design

What makes a great deck.

A deck extends the house outward — same level, same ease, straight from the kitchen to the open air. This collection features redwood builds with integrated planters, elevated decks that rescue sloped lots, and layouts designed around entertaining.

Watch how the strongest designs handle edges: built-in benches instead of railings where codes allow, planters that soften corners, and stairs wide enough to double as seating. Save the details that make a platform feel like a destination.

Good to know

Common questions

Redwood or composite decking?

Redwood is beautiful, cooler underfoot and repairable, but needs sealing every year or two. Composite costs more upfront and runs hotter in full sun, but shrugs off weather with zero maintenance.

How long does a wood deck last?

A well-built, regularly sealed redwood or cedar deck lasts 20–30 years. The framing usually outlives the boards — re-decking an older frame is a common mid-life refresh.

Do decks need permits?

Almost always, yes — especially decks attached to the house or more than 30 inches above grade. Permits also matter at resale, so don't skip them.
