When considering a deck building project, you are probably thinking about either a wooden deck, most often attached to a house, or the decking, usually made of some kind of masonry, around a luxury swimming pool. Both types of decks add a special dimension to your landscape design, creating usable, safe spaces that are also pleasing to the eye.Your Deck Building Project: Dreaming Your Deck
In the early phases of the design process, you want to get clear on what you want out of your deck design. Options include the additions of outdoor water fountains, outdoor kitchens, and outdoor fireplaces or fire pits. You might want to consider whether to cover the deck or not and whether to add deck railing or built-in seats. Decks also present a great opportunity to enhance your landscape lighting. On the practical side, your deck building project needs to take into account tying into any existing drainage systems—due to Houston’s notorious rainstorms. For decks, drainage solutions include gutters, French drains, or decorative drains.
