Dark Timber Pool Deck Beside Tudor Estate

Beside a half-timbered Tudor home with steep gables, leaded glass, and brick chimneys, a dark timber pool deck features poolside loungers framed by low stone walls and manicured boxwood hedges.

Design notes

Tudor design answers the house. Look for half-timbered gables and tall chimneys echoed in dark timber pergolas and arbours, herringbone brick and flagstone terraces, low stone walls, and hedges of yew and box that give the garden formal rooms near the house before it loosens into roses, wisteria and lawn. Leaded glass, copper lanterns and a slightly storybook proportion keep the look coherent.

What to look for

  • Board direction and how it changes the apparent size
  • Edges: built-in benches and planters instead of rail where allowed
  • Stairs wide enough to double as seating
