We recently completed a beautiful backyard deck project featuring Trex Enhance Naturals decking, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!



Every successful project begins with thoughtful planning. Our process started with several design meetings to help our clients envision their new outdoor space and select materials that balanced durability, aesthetics, and budget. Once the design was finalized, we moved quickly to handle the building permit application, ensuring all local regulations were met from the start.


Because proper permitting and inspections are a cornerstone of our work, we spent time collaborating with local building officials and coordinating with 811 utility location services before breaking ground



This project came with a few unique challenges. The existing patio had to be removed, and the ground required reshaping to ensure positive drainage away from the home. With the site prepared, we installed all footings to meet or exceed the North Carolina Residential Building Code, providing a solid and lasting foundation for the new structure.


The finished result is a low-profile, ground-level deck that blends seamlessly into the landscape — offering the homeowners a welcoming, low-maintenance outdoor retreat.


If you’re considering enhancing your backyard with a new deck, Trex Enhance Naturals offers the beauty of real wood with the resilience of composite materials — perfect for North Carolina’s weather and lifestyle.
