A Tuscany Back Yard Transformation
Treetop Timberframe
This Tuscany family chose to double the size of their existing 2nd storey deck, but wanted to nestle it in the existing trees, and ensure that their time outside would maximize their enjoyment of the amazing views, while at the same time, be private and out of the wind. Our final design combined low maintenance Weatherdek sheet vinyl, aluminum and glass railings, and a custom aluminum spiral staircase to the lower concrete patio, hot tub and a terraced lawn with trampoline. The lower level is completely protected from rain, while the various pergolas, privacy screens and an art-glass wind-wall provide privacy, and protection from the wind.

Drag The Slider To See The Transformation
A simple update
This homeowner’s deck was literally falling apart, and it wasn’t quite big enough to suit the family’s needs, so we were hired to rebuild it. We added another beam and extended the new frame out another 4 feet. The wear layer is Trex composite in “Saddle”, and combined with the aluminum and glass railing provides a larger, more durable, zero-maintenance outdoor space for the family to enjoy.

A Cedar Sanctuary
The rear yard of this home was in dire need of a facelift. The homeowner chose to build a large, skirted cedar deck which wraps all the way around to the rear door. Finished with aluminum picket railings, and storage below, this project has added tremendous esthetic value, and usable outdoor space to the home.
