See the possibilities for your deck with Michael Bryan Landscapes!
The backyard is a place to enjoy the outdoors. It’s an area to take in the sunshine, the fresh air, and nature’s sights and sounds. It could also be a place for kids to play games or for adults to host parties. Whatever your lifestyle, the backyard deck is a feature that can make your yard much more appealing. If the simple rectangular or square platform isn’t cutting it for you, consider these fantastic backyard deck additions.
Built-In Seating
If you want to enjoy your deck to the fullest, you will need seating. Sure, you could add an outdoor furniture set, but is it the best choice for your deck? Built-in seating creates a moment along a deck’s perimeter or a particular zone. Built-in seating can also double as railing if you have a low-elevation deck.
Built-In Plant Boxes
Plants make any space more lively, and this is true of the deck. Built-in plant boxes are popular deck additions that give you a set place for your annuals, perennials, herbs, etc. If you have a knack for gardening, this built-in feature could flank your deck stairs or sit at other pivotal points.
Pergola
A pergola is a shade structure with at least two columns and a slatted roof. The slatted roof allows more or less sunlight to come through at different times of day; it is also a great feature on which climbing plants can grow. A pergola could shade one deck zone or just a side or corner.
An Extra Deck Platform
Backyard deck additions include extending the deck itself. Have you ever wanted to have more deck space? A skilled carpenter, as you can find at Michael Bryan Landscapes, could renovate your deck and add an additional platform to it.
A Combination of Features
Why only use one of these backyard deck additions? You can combine all, some, or none, producing a fantastic result. For example, you could build a pergola along one side with a bench underneath and plant boxes on either side.
