Wood Decks

  • Nice multi-level cedar deck in Urbandale featuring our custom "Iowa Style" railing.
  • Nice multi-level cedar deck project on Lake Panorama northwest of Des Moines. 3 deck spaces were re-built and a 4th deck space was added for a new hot tub; all with cedar decking and Westbury Riviera C30 railing. The lower-level deck has our custom underdecking system above for dry, outdoor views of the lake on rainy days. And it adds a nice finish to the space, particularly with its many color offerings complimenting nearly any space or styling desires Lots of lighting around the deck as well, integrated with their landscape lighting system.
  • This well-maintained, pressure-treated deck in Des Moines features multiple levels and cozy bench seating areas around a tree rising thru the deck. No umbrella needed!
  • This multi-level cedar deck in Des Moines’ Urbandale suburb provides spacious area for seating and grilling on the deck and serves as a nice transition to the brick paver patio.
  • Think its easy to add deck space for a hot tub? It can be, but in this West Des Moines deck expansion case there were many atypical factors to consider beside the support requirement for the hot tub and where it “fits.” What about the putting green? What about the fire pit area? What about the tree location? What about the site line to the pond? What about the clearance / spatial requirements for the Covana Oasis automated cover over the hot tub? Can we match the stone of the existing porch columns? 3 steps made it happen; 3 steps that work for any outdoor living space project in Central Iowa: Better Building by Design Archadeck of Central Iowa Go Outside & Play!
  • This well-maintained, pressure-treated deck in Des Moines features multiple levels and cozy bench seating areas around a tree rising thru the deck. No umbrella needed!
  • In a rural Des Moines area setting, this pressure-treated/southern yellow pine deck surface is protected a bit by a porch roof, so the maintenance is somewhat reduced compared to a fully open deck.  Railing is the most labor-intensive from a maintenance perspective, so Trex Transcends Railing with aluminum balusters was used to minimize that effort.  Not to mention, the white and dark contrasts of the rail against the natural wood provides a stunning look.

  • This Johnston bakyard, north of Des Moines, features a multi-level cedar deck with Westbury Riviera aluminum railing that transitions to a large Belgard Dublin Cobble patio with a seat wall and columns.

  • This new cedar deck provided a nice seating and grilling area for this Des Moines family near Greenwood Park. We also incorporated a stamped concrete pathway to the deck for access from both a new stamped concrete patio and from a lower-level door. We were sensitive to the narrow and sloped back yard in this design and greatly improved the usage and accessibility of the spaces.

  • This cedar deck in Ames features bayed, wrapped steps off each corner with a floating bench and a privacy fence. The wall pergola adds a nice touch as well. Archadeck is your deck builder in Ames and the entire Central Iowa area.
  • This L-shaped cedar deck offers lots of cozy space from which to enjoy the outdoor setting of this West Des Moines backyard. A Belgard Bergerac paver walkway surrounds the deck and a Weston Wall planter box (inset picture) can also serve as a seat wall for expanded seating options on the deck.

  • YellaWood is a brand of micronized copper treatment of southern yellow pine for use in decking and railing applications. We’ve used it occasionally (supply channels have been a challenge here) more for its clearer, cleaner look, like on this deck in Des Moines’ Beaverdale area. New door added as well.
  • This expansive cedar deck in West Des Moines includes multiple levels and a private nook for a hot tub. Wrap-around stairs provide an open connection to the backyard. Custom-designed and built decks, porches, patios and more by Archadeck of Central Iowa.
  • This combination deck and 3-season room project west of Des Moines near Adel includes this cedar deck that wraps two-sides of the room. Aluminum balusters in the railing reduce the maintenance effort and disappear into the foliage and provide great views of this rural Central Iowa setting.

  • This Des Moines couple has easy access to their hot tub on this pressure-treated deck. Multi-levels separate the upper grilling-dining-seating area from the lower-level hot tub area. Bench seating near a hot tub is a feature you’ll appreciate.
  • This Clive project involved expanding the original deck both left and right and adding a grand staircase that opened up the deck to a great view of the Country Club Lake.
