Outdoor Space Transformation

A Des Moines home with a stunning water view across Puget Sound posed a recent outdoor living space challenge. The old stairs leading to the front door and small deck porch were made of wood, which was rotting due to the salty fog that is common in the area. The homeowners had a very small backyard with no grass and complained of mud all winter, making it difficult to enjoy the space or even let the dog out.

The solution was to build new stairs, a new porch and a wrap-around deck all made of a composite material which will not rot. TimberTech decking is engineered to resist weather, comes in many different colors to resemble wood and lasts much longer than real wood.

Stairs were replaced with composite TimberTech material to protect against the elements.

The happy clients use their backyard all the time now! We created an outdoor living area complete with a pergola, flower planter, furniture and fire pit. And the dog can go out without tracking in mud!
