Custom Deck Project: A Backyard Masterpiece

At Green Sun Landscaping, we take pride in transforming outdoor spaces into extraordinary retreats. One of our standout projects was a custom wrap-around deck, a true masterpiece of design and craftsmanship that enhances both the functionality and beauty of the backyard it graces.

Project Highlights

The deck spans approximately 60 feet, wrapping around the entire backside of the house, including a new addition, and offering a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Constructed using premium Azek TimberTech composite decking, this deck is as durable as it is visually stunning.

What sets this deck apart is its unique design—a one-of-a-kind artistic rendering of a mountainscape with a radiant sun and rolling ocean waves, all embedded into the surface using an array of carefully arranged composite boards. The contrasting colors and precise alignment of the boards create a breathtaking mural that is both functional and visually captivating, making it a centerpiece for outdoor gatherings and quiet moments alike.

The Construction Process

Building a deck of this caliber requires meticulous planning and execution. Here is an overview of the steps we took to ensure its success:

1. Site Preparation:
   • Grading and leveling were performed to create a stable foundation for the deck structure.
   • The deck was designed to be freestanding, allowing for natural expansion and contraction without exerting pressure on the house.
2. Substructure Reinforcement:
   • Pressure-treated lumber was used for the substructure, with additional blocking added to support transitions and intricate design elements.
   • Every inch of the lumber was coated with deck tape, creating a moisture barrier that protects against rot and extends the structure’s lifespan.
3. Artistic Decking Layout:
   • Composite boards from Azek TimberTech were carefully arranged to form the intricate design, with precise cuts and alignments to bring the mountainscape, sun, and waves to life.
   • The boards’ curvature and varying hues were skillfully combined to add depth and realism to the imagery.
4. Finishing Touches:
   • Edges and corners were seamlessly finished for a polished look.
   • The deck was inspected thoroughly to ensure every detail met our high standards for quality and craftsmanship.
