Back in 1980 when Archadeck was founded as the nation’s first backyard deck builder, a side deck very seldom came into the equation. But that has all changed today, as a side deck is often the preferred outdoor space for many Birmingham families.
A Birmingham Side Deck Is The Quintessential Outdoor Living Room For These Neighborhoods
• Highland Lakes: As the local trend continues with home renovations and new infill homes on older, smaller lots becoming more frequent than ever in Birmingham’s history, a side deck is a terrific solution for many homes on tighter lots. It provides a custom private outdoor space without encroaching on small backyards.
• Lake Cyrus: This neighborhood is home to many beautiful single-family homes just begging for elevated outdoor living spaces. In Lake Cyrus, a side deck suits the urban vibe, making it ideal for grilling, relaxing, or even working outdoors.
• Lake Crest: Birmingham’s revitalization zone is growing with new single-family homes on modest lots. As home builders maximize space by narrowing home footprints, Archadeck comes to the rescue with custom outdoor living rooms, porches and patios that are sized just right. They can be small or expansive to run the entire perimeter of the home.
• Greystone: For intimate quiet outdoor dining and entertaining, an Archadeck deck provides suburban homeowners with closely spaced perimeters and limited landscaping.
• Ross Bridge: Here, too, this master-planned community features homes with tight lot spacing but upscale finishes, so a custom patio on the side of a home is the perfect way to provide livable luxury and function. What’s more, it helps maintain private zones in a very neighborly environment.
• Brook Highland: A side deck works well here as traditional architectural home styles with front porches dominate, but space between houses is modest. A custom deck is wonderfully ideal for additional private lounging or dining.
Popular Outdoor Living Accents For Custom Side Deck Designs
Especially convenient and practical when homes are located close together, a privacy screen or tall planters are a convenient way to provide deck privacy while shielding from neighbors.
Other custom side deck add-ons include built-in seating for efficient space use, sliding doors or French doors for easy access from interior rooms and stylish fencing or lattice to define the space subtly and elegantly.
As for intentional functionality, a side deck can serve as a transition area between indoor and backyard spaces, especially when located off a kitchen, sunroom or side entrance. This makes it perfect for outdoor grilling, herb gardening or a morning coffee spot.
As for even greater functionality, the broader trend of individually tailored outdoor living has created demand for multiple outdoor zones, for lounging, dining, entertaining and the growing trend of working from home. A deck can serve as a secondary outdoor room, ideal for specific functions and whatever your heart desires.
