Plan the Deck Around the Entire Backyard
Before choosing the size of the deck, think about how people will move between the house, deck, yard, driveway, pool, and other areas of the property. A larger deck is not automatically a better deck. Good design creates enough room for the activities you care about while maintaining comfortable access to the rest of the property.
Lebanon's residential development process emphasizes approved plot plans for building permit applications, including site layout and, for applicable lots, grading and drainage considerations.
FAQs
How big should my deck be?
The right deck size depends on your home, backyard, and how you plan to use the space. A smaller deck may provide plenty of room for grilling and a seating area, while a larger deck can accommodate outdoor dining, entertaining, multiple seating areas, or an outdoor kitchen. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can help design a deck that feels proportional to your Lebanon home while giving you enough space for the way you want to enjoy your backyard.
Is wood or composite better for a Lebanon home?
Both wood and composite decking can be great options for Lebanon homeowners. Wood provides a classic, natural look and typically has a lower upfront cost, but it requires more ongoing staining, sealing, and maintenance. Composite decking requires less routine maintenance and is designed for long-term outdoor exposure, making it a popular option for Tennessee's heat, humidity, rain, and changing seasons. The best choice depends on your budget, preferred look, and how much maintenance you want to take on.
Can you build a deck on a property with a sloped backyard?
Yes. A custom deck can be an excellent solution for a Lebanon property with a sloped or uneven backyard. Elevated and multi-level deck designs can create usable outdoor living space where a traditional ground-level patio may be difficult to install. The design can account for the property's elevation, drainage, access, footings, stairs, and other site conditions to create a deck that works naturally with the land.
Can a deck connect to an existing patio?
Absolutely. A new deck can often be designed to connect with or complement an existing patio, creating a more cohesive outdoor living area. Stairs, landings, multiple levels, and thoughtful transitions can help connect the deck and patio while creating separate areas for grilling, dining, entertaining, or relaxing. SafeGuard Fence & Deck can design the overall layout around the existing features of your Lebanon backyard.
Can you replace a smaller existing deck with a larger one?
Yes, in many cases an existing deck can be replaced with a larger design. Expanding the footprint can provide additional room for outdoor furniture, dining, grilling, and entertaining. The final size and placement will depend on the property, applicable setbacks, easements, and local building requirements. The City of Lebanon requires building permits for structures that are erected, added to, or structurally altered, so those requirements should be considered when planning an expanded deck.
