In Edmonton's bustling urban landscape, Decks of Distinction was tasked with an intricate project: to build a square cedar deck within the confines of a compact backyard. The client's budget was set at $10,000 and the project was to be completed within a one-week period, emphasizing not only the functionality but also the aesthetic appeal of the outdoor space.
The primary challenge was the limited space of the backyard, which required a thoughtful design to maximize the area without compromising on style. Additionally, the client desired a partial pergola to provide both shade and privacy, further complicating the design within the given spatial constraints.
Decks of Distinction approached this challenge with a tailored solution, opting for a square deck design to enhance the geometric harmony of the space. Cedar was selected for its natural beauty and durability, serving both the decking and railing materials. The partial pergola was ingeniously designed to offer respite from the sun while adding a level of seclusion, enhancing the intimate ambiance of the outdoor retreat.
The execution phase was characterized by meticulous precision, adhering to the square shape to utilize every inch of the backyard effectively. The team worked with swift efficiency, constructing the cedar deck and pergola in unison to ensure that the entire structure was unified in appearance and function. The natural grain and warmth of the cedar added an inviting, organic feel to the space.
Completing the project within the set timeline and budget, Decks of Distinction once again showcased their expertise in custom deck building. The new cedar deck with its partial pergola stood as an oasis of comfort, providing the homeowners with a tranquil spot for relaxation and entertainment. Despite the space limitations, the final structure did not feel constrained; instead, it offered a spacious feel that the homeowners greatly appreciated.
“We are beyond pleased with our new cedar deck and the gorgeous pergola that Decks of Distinction has created for us. Their ability to transform our small backyard into a private sanctuary is truly impressive. They worked magic within such a limited space and budget, and the week-long turnaround was phenomenal. The deck is not just a feature of our home—it's a centerpiece for our family's outdoor living.”
