Before Revitalizing or Building Custom Decks Explore Fresh Design Options

Gone are the days of the ubiquitous brown wood deck stretched across the back of suburban homes. Modern recycled materials and an explosion of outdoor living gives us an amazing assortment of fresh design options for building custom decks in Burke, VA. Here are some of the recent design trends to explore with your deck contractor.

  1. Materials
    There are a wide variety of natural, recycled, and manmade materials on the market today that have really expanded the look and feel of modern decks. From pressure treated structural woods, to naturally rot and pest resistant varieties, to synthetic materials like composite woods, concrete stone, and even metals for finishing details. Mix and match coordinates are all the rage, and combining rustic, natural features with stone, metal, and even glass fixtures and accessories can give your custom wood deck a whole new sophistication.
  2. Purpose
    Elevated gardens, waterfalls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, and spas have proliferated as options have grown. Whatever your purpose, we can now create custom deck designs to rival any room in your home. Shade, sun, wind, and water all need to be factored in when you determine the placement and access to your custom deck. Privacy walls or screens, multi-level decks with room for many functions, and add-ons like grills and hot tubs bring your family and guests outside to enjoy time together.
  3. Color
    The mix and match wave continues with deck patterns, balusters, and lighting leading the way. Consider the deck tile, designed to provide contrast and texture to the standard deck floor, deck tiles are versatile and attractive. They offer maintenance and repair options other materials don't, and can bring a bit of pizzazz to an otherwise drab surface. Available in wood, concrete, and stone, these tiles give you flexibility in design and budget
  4. Accessories
    Post caps, built-in seating, large hanging baskets and other planters, and the list goes on. Low-voltage lighting adds safety and glow at night. Gazebos and pergolas give relief from the midday sun. And outdoor cooking is the latest trend in the movement to live outdoors. Some people have even brought media with them, with sectional seating and weather-protected viewing for flat screens.
