Turning a Rotting Deck into an Entertaining Hub

A lush backyard features a patio with black outdoor dining furniture and chairs, creating an inviting entertaining hub shaded by a large tree. The tree is surrounded by a landscaped garden bed with small green plants and ornamental grass.

Ray and Heather’s existing wooden deck had seen better days. The rotting boards were a safety concern, and the layout couldn’t accommodate a dining table with enough chairs for hosting friends and family. They wanted a more functional, inviting space—one that would let them comfortably gather outdoors and enjoy their yard.
