Backyard and patio decks
Custom Ground-Level Decks
Ground-level decks transform Chicago backyards into genuine outdoor living spaces—extending your home's footprint without the complexity of elevated construction. Whether you want a dedicated entertaining area, a platform for outdoor furniture, or a transition zone between house and garden, a properly built deck handles freeze-thaw cycles, drainage challenges, and decades of Chicago weather far better than concrete patios or bare grass.
We build ground-level decks with materials matched to your priorities: pressure-treated lumber for budget-conscious projects, composite decking for 25+ years of low maintenance, or premium hardwoods like ipe for distinctive natural beauty. Every installation includes proper ventilation clearance, gravel drainage beds, and moisture barriers that prevent the rot and warping that plague poorly built low-profile decks.
Your finished deck integrates with existing landscaping—stepping down to patios, wrapping around trees, or connecting to walkways. We handle everything from permit drawings to final inspection, delivering an outdoor space that adds genuine living area to your property and looks like it was always meant to be there.
