This is the side of the deck and an old rock/tree area. I had to track down the same pattern patio blocks that were discontinued and I used rock from around my yard so although a lot of work, not expensive Before, it used to be just grass where the landscape fabric is in the pic poof

vino Everything looks great. I love the deck color you went with. Can't wait to see it with the railings up. Question: is the new deck the same size/layout as the old one? Does the upstairs door walk out of your kitchen?

vino Everything looks great. I love the deck color you went with. Can't wait to see it with the railings up. Question: is the new deck the same size/layout as the old one? Does the upstairs door walk out of your kitchen? The deck is pretty much the same footprint, the old deck was closed in with the lattice under the top deck. We tried to make the best if it for years but it was always so dirty and attracted mice. So we decided to deck the entire width of the house for maximum usable space. So under the top deck now will be a play area and the deck boxes for the patio cushions, and then storage during the winter. The angled part, on the left, of the bottom deck is new also, it flows better. When you walk in the dooor the dining room table is to the left, living room to the right and kitchen is on the left past the table.
