Some homes are just made for gathering. For one couple in Littleton, CO, that was always their dream—to create a place where family, friends, and their church community could come together, laugh, share meals, and enjoy Colorado’s beautiful outdoors. Their home had become the go-to gathering spot, but their backyard told a different story.

While their sloped property offered sweeping views of the foothills, their old deck was undersized and lacked the character and comfort they wanted for hosting. They dreamed of a seamless outdoor living space that reflected the warmth and hospitality they’re known for—a space that would draw guests out of the house and into the fresh air.

At DeckTec, we specialize in helping homeowners like this couple reclaim their outdoor space, turning it into a destination.

The Challenge: A Space That Didn’t Match Their Lifestyle

Entertaining was already at the heart of their life. Sunday evenings meant gathering with their church group, summer afternoons were spent with family, and impromptu BBQs happened almost every weekend. But their outdoor setup wasn’t keeping up.

The deck was small, weather-worn, and not functional for larger groups. Their yard’s slope created awkward transitions, making it difficult to create flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. While they loved hosting, their space made it hard to give their guests the warm, comfortable experience they envisioned.

They needed more than a deck—they needed a thoughtful deck plan designed around their life.

DeckTec’s Role: Bringing Their Vision to Life

With over 34 years of experience and more than 3,000 completed projects, DeckTec has seen firsthand how a deck can transform a home. For this project, we started with what mattered most: understanding this couple’s lifestyle and vision.

We worked closely with them to design a deck and tiered paver patio that not only solved their challenges but also celebrated the unique features of their property. The sloped yard that once created obstacles became an opportunity to elevate the design, giving them a better vantage point for their mountain views.

And because DeckTec never uses subcontractors, our team of seasoned craftsmen handled every detail from start to finish. The result is a deck construction and paver patio that blends high-end design with rock-solid durability.

The Design: Beauty, Function, and Lasting Quality

This wasn’t just another deck; it was a tailored solution that checked all the boxes for style, functionality, and low maintenance:

• Decking: 1”x6” Deckorators Voyage composite boards in Tundra, chosen for its durability and slip resistance. The Dark Slate picture frame border adds a custom design element that ties the entire project together.
  
• Railings: Fortress Axis rails, offering a sleek, modern look while maintaining unobstructed views.
  
• Hardscaping: Winterblend-colored patio pavers create a beautiful, cohesive connection between the deck and yard.
  
• Design Choice: A spacious, multi-use deck built into the slope, strategically designed to showcase the wide-open mountain views.
  

This thoughtful deck design transformed a challenging yard into a standout feature of their home.

The Transformation: A New Gathering Place

Now, their home isn’t just a favorite hangout spot—it’s a destination. Guests step out of the house and are greeted by a space that feels like an extension of the indoors, but better. The views are stunning, the design is intentional, and the couple finally has the flexibility to entertain large groups or enjoy quiet evenings together.

What once felt cramped and underwhelming is now a luxurious outdoor living experience, complete with durable materials that can withstand Colorado’s weather year-round.
