Finished large backyard deck with wood railings and patio furniture under the trees in Southwest Michigan

This wooded backyard dropped away from the house. The crew brought in equipment, staged pressure treated timbers and built a timber retaining wall along the slope, setting posts as they went.

Next came a big ground level deck: framing across the yard, then pressure treated decking that connects to the stairs coming down from the upper deck.

Railings went on around the edge, and the finished deck gives the family a huge flat space to gather under the trees.
