Functional Extras: Drink Ledges, Hidden Storage, Matching Railing
Upgrade your built in deck bench and planter layout with smart details that boost comfort, storage, and style. These options fit cleanly into composite decking, protect the deck surface, and keep your outdoor space tidy and inviting.
Hidden Storage Inside Benches
Turn a storage bench into your clutter buster. Lift-up lids, venting, and water-shedding details keep cushions, toys, and grill gear dry, no bulky boxes on the deck surface.
Why it helps:
- Clutter-free deck perimeter and safer walkways
- Dry, ventilated storage with durable hardware
- Clean lines that match your bench design
Integrated LED or Solar Lighting
Light the path around seating, steps, and planters for “stay-out-longer” evenings. Warm, low-glare lighting enhances safety and mood.

What Happens When You Start With a Real Design
When you work with Legacy Decking, you’re not guessing—you’re planning with purpose. Our clients often tell us:
- “You made our vision real.”
- “We didn’t know what was possible.”
- “It was easy to move forward once we saw the design.”
- “Our deck actually gets used now—every weekend!”
Why? Because your design isn’t just a drawing—it’s a complete look at how your outdoor space can work better for you and your home.
We use:
- ✔ Custom deck plans
- ✔ Free 3D deck design previews
- ✔ Easy-to-use deck builder software
- ✔ Simple design-a-deck tools to help you explore styles and features
You’ll be able to visualize your layout before anything is built—and that confidence matters.
We also take care of the important stuff:
- ✔ Picking the right materials needed
- ✔ Mapping out tools, framing, and joists
- ✔ Recommending custom deck features
- ✔ Handling permit applications so you don’t have to
Everything is coordinated, explained, and built by one team. No handoffs, no guessing, no last-minute changes.
Designed for Your Lifestyle – Custom Deck Features That Fit You

We work with all styles:

We design from scratch and build it ourselves—so what you see in the plan is exactly what gets built. Our full-service team will help you:
- ✔ Create a design that fits your home and habits
- ✔ Add useful custom features like built-in lighting, railings, and benches
- ✔ Choose the right materials, tools, and layout for your yard
- ✔ Make sure your framing, joists, and structure are solid from the ground up
Your deck should look great, last long, and be something you’re proud to show off. We help you get there.

Deck Designs That Fit Any Property – From Basic to Complex
Smart Deck Layouts for Slopes, Rooftops, and Unique Terrain
Every property is different, and that’s exactly why professional planning matters. At Legacy Decking, we design for all kinds of landscapes and homeowners—from small backyards to large, sloped lots.
We’ve worked with:
- Families building new outdoor spaces
- Retirees upgrading for low maintenance
- Airbnb and vacation rental owners creating welcoming outdoor areas
- Homeowners with tricky terrain who thought a deck “just wouldn’t work”
Our team specializes in:
- Elevated and multi-level deck designs for steep or uneven ground
- Urban rooftop decks with great views and efficient layout
- Smooth and smart outdoor deck layouts that flow with your home
- Compact upgrades like a deck extension or small stair add-on
With our deck plans software, we’ll design a deck that fits your lot and your life. You’ll see where the stairs go, how the space is divided, and how everything flows together—from the ground up.
Even if you’re just starting with an idea, we’ll show you what’s possible—and then we’ll build it with the same care and detail.
Thinking About It? Let’s Make the Next Step Easy.
Whether you’re just adding a patio extension or planning a multi-level dream deck, we’ll help you see what’s possible and build it right.
Every deck design includes:
- ✔ A free design consultation—so you can explore options, not guess
- ✔ Unlimited collaborative revisions—until it’s exactly what you want
- ✔ A plan that’s ready for permit, pricing, and build
Would you build a home without a plan? Don’t build a deck without one either.
When your deck is designed well, it becomes an extension of your home—not just a platform in your yard.
