What do you think of when you hear the word “timeless”?
The definition of the word is “not affected by the passage of time or changes in fashion” — which means something that is timeless never goes out of style and is not restricted to a particular time or date; its appeal never expires. If you Google ” things that never go out of style” the results range from blue jeans and backyard barbecues to champagne and old books.
When it comes to outdoor living, trends can come and go, but the appeal of the backyard deck never goes out of style. A professionally designed and built deck will provide years of enjoyment and will remain the center of activity for warm-weather outdoor entertaining and relaxation.

The origins of the backyard deck trace back to the height of consumer culture during the 1950s and 1960’s when the backyard moved beyond a place to grow food and sustain the household into an area for relaxation and leisure. Having your own little piece of green space behind the house where family and friends could relax and play became the new normal in the post-war period. The backyard was no longer just treated or thought about as a place of practicality. It became about feelings of accomplishment and status. It became a symbol for The American Dream itself — enter the backyard deck.
Imagine your next family barbecue on your very own backyard deck by Archadeck of Central SC.
Overall, decks started as a means to ensure that leisure and comfort were the guiding principles in backyard space, just as the porch had done to the front of the house in earlier eras. These same principles of promoting outdoor leisure and comfort are more prevalent in today’s deck designs than ever! Here at Archadeck of Central SC, we specialize in decks built from a wide range of materials including traditional pressure-treated pine, hardwoods, and low-maintenance synthetics. Each deck we build is custom-designed to blend seamlessly with your home and reflect your personal style. Our deck designs embrace beauty, quality, and extended enjoyment where form and function combine as one.
