Smaller lots in Dilworth and Plaza Midwood still have room for a good deck. Layout, stairs and privacy ideas for tight yards, from Patriot Home Service.
Lots in close-in neighborhoods like Dilworth and Plaza Midwood can be narrow, with neighbors close by and mature trees overhead. A deck can still make that yard feel larger if the layout fits the space.
A spot for two chairs and a grill needs far less room than a dining table for six. Mark the footprint on the ground with string or chalk and live with it for a few days.
On a small lot, a stair that lands in the wrong place eats yard space. Think about where you walk from the deck to the gate, the trash cans and the garden.
Taller railing styles, planters and a well-placed bench can screen a view without boxing the deck in. Ask about options during your planning visit.
Large trees are part of why people love these streets. Footings near roots need care, and overhanging limbs drop leaves and debris on the boards.
Some areas have historic district or HOA review for exterior changes. Check what applies to your address before finalizing a design.
We build new decks, repair worn ones and replace decks past repair. Call (980) 999-0467 to talk through your yard.
