Two-Level Cedar Deck
Custom two-level cedar deck with built-in bench seating, integrated LED lighting, and a pergola shade structure. Designed to maximize a sloped backyard.

The Story
The homeowners wanted outdoor living space but had a challenging sloped lot. We designed a two-level deck: an upper level off the kitchen for dining (16x14) and a lower level (20x16) for lounging, connected by wide steps with LED strip lighting. The entire deck uses premium cedar with a semi-transparent stain, composite railings for low maintenance, and a cedar pergola with retractable shade fabric over the dining area.

Significant yard slope required the upper deck to be elevated with proper structural support and the lower deck to be built at grade
