This deck was constructed over a much smaller concrete landing. The owner requested that the deck follow the lay of the garden and that the cypress pine decking boards be laid at a 45* angle.
This helped break the deck out of the standard rectangle design and move it to the next level. Allowing the garden to act as a natural ’fence’ during the day created a feeling of being close to nature and with the installion of several lighting bollards around the edge really set the deck off during the evening.
At the end of the job the deck had turned an awkward front yard into a natural flowing entertaining area.
This overhead view shows how nature and construction can be used to compliment each other. Building the deck right up to the garden edge helped create a ‘natural’ boundary or fence line for the decking.
