Custom Comfort: A Backyard Deck Designed for Relaxation

Not every deck needs to be towering or complex—sometimes the best outdoor upgrades are the simplest and most thoughtful. For this Massachusetts homeowner, we created a low-profile wooden deck with built-in wraparound bench seating and a short staircase, all crafted from matching materials for a seamless, polished look.

The result is a space that feels both grounded and inviting—perfect for morning coffee, weekend barbecues, or evenings under the stars.

The Vision

The client wanted a space that was:

Simple and elegant, without excess ornamentation
Comfortable for hosting small gatherings or relaxing solo
Easy to maintain and built with cohesive, natural-looking materials
Functional without needing separate outdoor furniture

The Process

We began by designing a modestly elevated deck that would feel integrated with the landscape while offering just enough height for visual interest. The standout feature is the custom bench system that wraps around the outer edges, built from the same pressure-treated lumber as the deck surface and frame.

Key elements:

Pressure-treated wood deck with low elevation and integrated step system
Clean lines and flush installation for a modern, minimal finish
Custom-built benches around the perimeter, securely fastened and weather-treated
Approximately 7 stairs at the entry point for ease of access from the yard

The Outcome

The finished deck blends effortlessly into the backyard, creating a warm, welcoming zone that requires little setup and offers year-round usability. The benches act as both seating and framing, eliminating the need for bulky furniture while enhancing the overall structure. Whether it's used for entertaining guests or enjoying quiet moments, this space has quickly become a central part of the client’s home life.
