Designing for Flow: It’s More Than Just Square Footage
Most contractors start by asking, 'What size deck do you want?' At Lenzi Construction, we start by asking, 'How do you want to use this outdoor living space?
A deck isn't just a platform attached to your house; it is an outdoor room. If the layout is wrong, even the most expensive materials will feel awkward. We take a consultative design approach to ensure your investment works for your lifestyle:
-
Furniture-First Planning: We don't guess dimensions. We ask about your dining table, your sectional, and your grill. We design the footprint around your furniture so you never have a chair leg slipping off the edge or a walkway blocked by a table.
-
Traffic & Zones: We analyze the flow from your kitchen door to the stairs. We create distinct 'zones' for cooking, dining, and lounging so your guests aren't dodging the grill master to get a drink.
-
The View vs. The Neighbors: We strategically place privacy walls to block the house next door, while using invisible cable railing or glass to open up your view of the backyard.
-
Sun & Shade: We track the sun's path across your yard to recommend the best spot for a pergola or a shaded reading nook.
The Lenzi Standard: We design before we dig. By solving these layout challenges on paper, we ensure your finished deck feels like a natural extension of your home.
