We don’t sell “standard size” decks. Every project begins with design — shaped around your yard, how you use it, and what works long-term. We’ll measure your space, talk through traffic flow, railings, stairs, shade, and code needs. You’ll see your vision come to life on paper before we ever swing a hammer.
Some companies force you into prefab shapes. We do the opposite. Whether you want a wraparound deck, a multi-level platform, or a layout that blends with your landscape, we’ll design something custom — and functional. Every plan balances beauty, structure, and real-world use in Texas climate zones.
CAD layouts and 3D renderings available
Built to meet local codes and HOA rules
Real options for materials, shade, and features

Good design isn’t just about looks. It’s how people move from your kitchen to the grill, how shade hits in July, where you step out barefoot. We consider function at every stage — from board angles to step width to how rain sheds from the house. The result? A deck that lives well every day, not just on install day.

Every custom design comes with code-compliant details — like joist spans, ledger attachments, and railing height. But we don’t stop there. We plan for real-world load, sun, and use. Our designs stand up to Texas climate, family life, and resale value. You’ll get plans your HOA and city can approve, without slowing down the build.
Material choice affects layout, spacing, fasteners, and long-term care. That’s why we help you compare cedar, pressure-treated, and composite options during design — not after. We’ll walk you through look, feel, maintenance, and cost to match your goals. The result is a deck you love now and still love in 10 years.

Local Code Knowledge: Every design is pre-checked against your city’s zoning and building codes.
Designed for Drainage: We plan for slope, runoff, and ventilation to keep your deck dry and solid.
Material-Specific Layouts: Wood, composite, or hybrid — we tailor spacing and direction to the material.
Real 3D Visualization: Want to see it before we build? Ask about CAD layouts and renderings.
Built for Your Lifestyle: We design for pets, kids, parties, grilling, or just a quiet book with coffee.
Don't worry, we can help!
A smart deck plan prevents issues like stair bottlenecks, railing gaps, or bad water drainage. Our design team thinks ahead, so you don’t deal with headaches later. It’s how we avoid costly surprises during the build. The better the plan, the smoother the process — and the longer your deck lasts.
Avoids expensive changes mid-build
Streamlines permitting and approvals
Improves function and furniture layout
A well-placed arbor or privacy screen makes all the difference in daily use. We plan those elements from the start, not as afterthoughts. Whether it’s blocking a neighbor’s view or catching the breeze without baking in the sun, we integrate comfort into your layout from day one.
Here’s what Texas homeowners ask us most when starting a custom deck design.
Yes. We’ve worked with HOA rules across Texas and will tailor your design for fast approval.
That’s our job. We’ll guide you through layout options, examples, and what works best for your space.
Most cities in Texas do require permits. We handle the process for you — drawings, applications, and inspections.
Absolutely. We can design your deck with future phases in mind — like roof covers or kitchen extensions.











We design and build decks tailored to your space, style, and needs — from layout and permits to final railings.

Low-maintenance, weather-resistant composite decking installed with hidden fasteners and clean edge detail.

Classic wood decks built from cedar or treated pine — cut, sealed, and finished for long-lasting natural beauty.

We replace rot, upgrade framing, and fix wobbly posts to restore your deck’s strength and safety.

Old deck? We sand, strip, stain, and seal to bring the wood back to life and add years to its use.

Multi-level decks offer split zones for dining, relaxing, and hot tubs — all connected with secure steps and rails.

We expand your existing deck or replace the top boards while keeping the original frame where possible.

From attached roofs to freestanding covers, we build shade structures to protect your deck and your guests.

Enclosed outdoor spaces that keep out bugs, reduce sun glare, and add square footage you’ll actually use.

Grill, prep, serve, and gather — we install counters, hookups, and shelter to complete your cookout space.

We design and build wood shade features that add beauty, function, and structure to your backyard.

Slip-resistant pool decks and spa platforms built with safety, drainage, and comfort in mind.

Custom detached structures designed to match your home — built with permits, slabs, and framing you can trust.

We build code-compliant railings and safe stairs in wood, composite, metal, or cable — always built to last.

Restaurant patios, rooftop lounges, and large-scale public decks — engineered to meet code and foot traffic.
