The Two-Step Pergola Deck

This deck was designed to support a full range of outdoor living—whether it's hosting dinner, slipping into the hot tub, or enjoying a quiet morning on the lounger. We split the space into two levels: one for the dining area under a full pergola, and a lower level for sunbathing and hot tub access. We leaned into a natural look with warm wood tones and soft curves throughout the design. The steps are wide and gradual to make movement between levels feel effortless, and privacy screening keeps the space feeling tucked in without being closed off. It's a backyard that's built for use—no matter the pace.
