Our team will ensure that your custom deck design allows for the right amount of space to add a covered patio to your Northern Virginia home. Our patio construction company only uses quality materials from top manufacturers like Techo-Bloc and EP Henry to ensure a long-lasting product. Beat the heat of the North Virginian summer and enjoy extra living space with patio design. Consider hanging a porch swing or twinkly lights to create an unbeatable ambiance under your deck.

Use the space underneath your deck for storage

A popular, under the deck solution, is to keep your outdoor maintenance supplies and extraneous items in a storage compartment. If your deck is too low to create more living space, utilizing the space for storage is a wonderful option. Beneath the deck is a great place to store things that don’t need climate-controlled storage and can potentially free up space in your garage or basement!

Other creative under deck solutions:

  • Build a shed under your deck
  • Create a playing area for children
  • Plant a garden
  • Add skirting or latticework under your deck.
