Newport mixes historic riverfront housing with newer development up the hill, so the work varies sharply street to street.
Close to the river the houses are old and the lots are tight; further up there is more room and more recent construction.
On the older riverfront streets it is small lots, party walls and period detail, where a compact well detailed deck suits better than a large one. Up the hill the lots open out and a deck and patio combination becomes possible. The two are different projects on the same street name.
Where the ground falls, a deck is often the only practical way to get a flat outdoor space. Stepping it down the slope in two levels reads better than one platform on very tall posts, and it puts you closer to the garden.
Every photograph is a Prime Home Improvements project, taken after the work was finished.
Flexible financing options available through Hearth. Spread the cost of your deck or outdoor space over monthly payments instead of paying for the whole project up front.
Yes, and small does not have to mean compromised. Built-in seating, a slim railing and getting the proportions right against the house matter more than square footage.
Usually by stepping the deck down in levels rather than building one tall platform. It uses the fall instead of fighting it and keeps you connected to the garden.
