Don't do a Deck!

Don't do a Deck
How’s that for a landscape video title? What exterior design/build company CEO tells people why you should not do a deck? That would be me, the Outdoor Living Guy. Paradise Restored is a family. Our entire team promotes the satisfaction of our homeowners and that is why I would not recommend getting a deck; when you become a part of our family, we are going to be up front you. I think you‘ll be blown away by what we did in this job and why you should do a patio instead of a deck. We’ll show you the transformation of a tired backyard deck, where we didn't recommend building a new deck. I encouraged them to, “change your deck to patio pavers.”
You'll be shocked at the finish line and how beautiful it turned out. Enjoy the transformation.
The question, “Should we keep the deck comes up all the time.” The answer, “Emphatically, no!” I want to show you why in this video. Rule #1, when a deck is close to the house, let's say a single level house and it steps four steps down to a hard surface, don't put a deck in that situation. There are other solutions like pavers vs deck - we’ll discuss in this video. And stay tuned to the very end 'cause I'm going to give you some bonus material. Other jobs of why you should not get a deck patio design. I hope you enjoy these decks to paver patio ideas and hope it will save you some money.
So, a quick little reminder on these outdoor living spaces . . . don't jump ahead and do it because you think you know . . . talk to experts in outdoor design. Decks are outdated and a no-deck outdoor living design is a better look while allowing better flow to your property. Especially, don’t do a deck on a single level home.
I want to promote a design first to help you get it all figured out in a 3D World so you can realize the finish line before your start. We would love to help you see your whole space - the house, door, windows, and your completed outdoor living space in a design plan. There are plenty of no-deck backyard ideas in our portfolio
Like a Complimentary Consultation? You got it!
That’s a Wrap!

Having already made the mistake and still trying to recover from it you are 100% correct! Decks are what home owners do before they know what to do or what else is possible. Your expertise with 3D design could have saved me money, heartache, and years of headache! I wish I had a resource like Paradise Restored Landscaping & Exterior Design in my area. Your visions are amazing and the finished designs you create are simply FANTASTIC!

[@mavisjones4750]

The idea of no deck made sense to me even before I watched the video. Now it makes even more sense. However, every one I tell that I'm planning to get rid of my deck gets nervous and then begins talking about the value it adds. I find a deck to be high maintenance, something that I'm not really wanting at this point in my life.

[@angetodac]

What sense? It depends on the cost. How much is it?

Where do I start with having you design my covered detached patio.

[@lovelyindeed4526]

I’m so glad I watched this!

[@pcatful]

I like that you post this. I think most houses don't want a deck. The reasons for decks is when the grades mean the floor level is too high above the ground for a patio to be workable, and a deck with piers might be a better choice when you have weak or expansive soils. Decks on a typical raised floor house in the suburbs also put your outdoor space up in the air-- so that you could be looking into your neighbor's yard (and feel on display yourself). Decks and railings, stairs and all that exposed wood construction is more than people expect. After being in building and design for most of my life, I don't do deck jobs except as part of a house project. People think decks should be easy and should be cheap to design and build. They're not. A proper landing at the door like you show is important. Good job!

[@imarak3455]

Beautiful work! One of my favorites.

[@BackyardDesignGuy]

Thank you! ❤

[@tastx3142]

When your main level is street level but on the side of a hill, decks are the only practical solution. I have a double decker back yard deck and still have 6-7 feet below the lower level. This solution was great for this site but I would be concerned that the 3 stairs have no railing. As people develop balance or strength issues as well as decreased vision, a handrail is helpful but is also helpful for young children.

[@fayecann9761]

Invariably we take all the entertaining into the yard. I just want to replace the deck with some simple but, beautiful steps to a patio space that provides this. I agree completely!!

[@Capn_FTB]

I work in a lumber yard. Mostly all decking material is at a 300% markup right now compared to pre-covid prices. I'm not trying to drive business away from contractors, but its important to know to wait just 1-2 years to build that patio, so prices can go down. Most contractors I meet say the same thing, and almost all clients dont care about the money and just want it done anyway. I mean if you have the cash, go nuts lol. I'm not sure how to quote jobs but It's probably cheaper now to do paved than wood.

My back yard is a wide, shallow slope; probably 100' wide, less than 30' from the back of the house to the property line, and drops 6-10' in elevation over that 30' depth. The house is on a 3' crawlspace above grade, too. Yes, I live in the mountains. The only way I can make sense of this space is with a multi-tier deck, but now you've got me SO curious about exploring alternatives! Awesome video, and STUNNINGLY beautiful space! Definite thumbs-up!

[@hickorygolddoc]

We had a deck, well it’s coming down! It’s on the south side so too hot ! And we have a wall of windows as well. (Great in the winter sucks in the summer) so it is over 30 years old and it’s coming down hopefully this summer. A covered patio will take its place. We have grand kids that we would like to keep in the back yard. And a big field over the back fence. We will definitely use that more.

[@BarrysentialsWinebloggers]

They definitely did a great job, but I'm confused by the choice for so much hardscaping in a backyard. Our deck is useless and a big waste of space, and needs to come out, but there is no way I would let someone add that much hardscape to a property. Maybe it just depends on where you live, but that would create a heat-island that will be no fun when temperatures rise. Very confusing for me.

[@marniemonfort7719]

Like you said it all depends on region. Also the clients are older and needed a more maintenence free landscape and yard.

[@jennathomas547]

To remove our old janky deck and replace it with a patio is a really fantastic idea. Our single level home has a multi level deck, we're not sure why, but think it could be because someone didn't want to excavate and properly level the backyard. So leveling it for a patio... kindof genius. And with the cost of lumber today... the economic choice, yay! I'm glad I found your video, and now am curious about your edesign services.

Would you also not do a deck even if you have about 7 steps to go down to the outside from 1st level?

What kind of pavers are these? They look so smooth I thought it was poured concrete at first.

Gorgeous. Price tag? Completely beyond my tax bracket beyond a doubt. I do however encourage anyone to hire a designer before a DIY endeavor. Your results will be much improved. Benefit from good advice and spare yourself the costly blunders.

awesome... how much does something like that gazebo cost?

Decks allow the water to drain into the earth more easily, cement creates a damn like effect. The corner condo opposite my condo has a cement yard where very little water could drain underneath it, as a result after heavy rain a pond formed, I kid you not, it attracted ducks! As a result a drain was installed.

Hi Harriet, thanks so much for the comment. I would strongly recommend pavers over poured concrete. I also feel like they are better then a deck as long as we are talking about the lower level of them home. Drainage is important for all backyards regardless of having a deck or patio surface. Thank u again for watching

@@BackyardDesignGuy I don't believe a patio is better then a deck, it's simply different.

This looks really nice but about states that have the four seasons. Does everything hold up for a long time?
