Custom Wood & Composite Decks in Greater STL Area
From a quiet breakfast landing to a wide gathering deck, a well-planned structure gives your yard another useful level. STL Hardscape Solutions designs and builds wood and composite decks for Greater STL Area homes, with stairs, railings, and connections that make sense beside patios, pools, porches, and lawn areas. We consider how you move through the property and how the deck will be used through changing Midwest seasons.

✦ Decks in Greater STL Area
Decks That Belong to the Whole Backyard
Every deck begins with the site. We look at door locations, yard grade, sunlight, views, and the route from the house to a patio or outdoor living area. That planning helps create practical transitions rather than isolated platforms—whether the answer is a broad landing, stepped path, or deck that meets an existing hardscape.
Wood offers familiar, natural character; composite decking provides consistent color options and different routine-maintenance considerations. We help compare these choices with the home’s architecture, sun exposure, and intended use. Details such as railing style, tread layout, and surface changes are coordinated so the deck feels comfortable for everyday traffic and connected to the rest of the yard.

Engineered For Living. Built For Life.
Stairs and Railing
Stairs, landings, and railing are planned as working parts of the deck and its route to the yard or patio.
Site-Aware Connections
Deck layouts can respond to slopes, existing patios, and water flow across the property.

Schedule design consultationHow do I choose between wood and composite decking?
+
Wood and composite boards offer different visual characters and maintenance considerations. The choice can be guided by the home’s architecture, sun exposure, use of the deck, and the care you prefer over time.
Can a deck connect to a patio or pool area?
+
A deck can be planned with stairs, landings, paths, or transitions that connect it to nearby patio, pool, porch, or lawn areas. The route through the property is considered early in the layout.
How do grade and drainage affect deck planning?
+
Slope, water movement, door locations, and the space below or beside the deck help shape its layout and connection to the rest of the yard. These conditions are reviewed during the site visit.
Do I need approval for a deck in Greater STL Area?
+
Requirements vary by municipality, project scope, property, and HOA. We help homeowners identify the appropriate local questions to confirm before the project moves forward.
