Transform Your Yard with Ground-Level Decks

When it comes to creating a beautiful, functional outdoor space in the Seattle area, few options offer the simplicity and charm of a ground-level deck. At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we specialize in designing and building ground-level decks that complement your Pacific Northwest landscape, providing a seamless, low-profile addition to your home. Whether you envision a cozy nook for morning coffee in Kirkland or an open deck for weekend gatherings in Bellevue, our ground-level decks combine high-quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and a touch of local charm to elevate your outdoor experience.

Ground-Level Decks: Functional and Beautiful

Ground-level decks are an excellent option for maximizing outdoor space with minimal elevation. These decks sit low to the ground, eliminating the need for stairs and creating a natural flow from yard to deck. A few key benefits include:

  • Accessibility for All: Ground-level decks offer easy access without stairs or height barriers, making them perfect for families, seniors, and guests.
  • Design Versatility: From a simple wood platform to a composite oasis with built-in planters, ground-level decks offer limitless design options to match your style.
  • Efficient Use of Space: Ground-level decks feel integrated with your landscape, making them ideal for smaller yards or as an extension of patio areas.


With Evergreen Deck & Fence, your vision is at the heart of every project.
We’ll work closely with you, ensuring your ground-level deck is tailored to your needs and tastes. This personalized approach guarantees that your deck not only adds beauty and functionality to your outdoor space but also reflects your unique style.

How to Plan Your Ground-Level Deck Project

Creating the perfect ground-level deck starts with thoughtful planning. Our Evergreen Deck & Fence team brings years of experience to guide you through the process, considering every detail, from site location to material selection. Here’s how we help you get started:

  • Perfect Placement: We help you select the ideal spot, considering factors like sunlight, landscape flow, and privacy.
  • Materials Tailored to You: We offer a variety of materials, from pressure-treated wood to high-quality composite decking. Each option has unique benefits, and we’ll provide recommendations based on your goals and budget.
  • Code Compliance: We handle all necessary permits and ensure your deck complies with local regulations so you can focus on enjoying your new space.

Best Materials for Ground-Level Decks

At Evergreen Deck & Fence, your chosen materials can significantly affect your deck’s appearance, durability, and maintenance needs. Our team is here to help you select the best option for your lifestyle, budget, and aesthetic preferences, ensuring that your deck stays beautiful and functional for years.

Pressure-Treated Wood

Pressure-treated wood is popular for ground-level decks due to its affordability and durability. Treated to resist rot, mold, and insect damage, this type of wood can withstand Seattle’s wet climate, making it an ideal option for outdoor projects. Pressure-treated lumber can last for decades when maintained properly with staining and sealing.

  • Benefits: Affordable, strong, naturally resistant to outdoor elements
  • Maintenance: Requires sealing or staining every couple of years to maintain its appearance and protect it from the elements.


Composite Decking

Composite decking is an excellent choice for homeowners looking for a low-maintenance, eco-friendly option. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastic, composite boards offer the appearance of wood without the upkeep. Composite decking resists fading, cracking, and splintering and doesn’t require staining or sealing.

  • Benefits: Low maintenance, long-lasting, available in a wide range of colors and textures
  • Maintenance: Simple cleaning with soap and water; no need for staining or sealing.


Cedar and Redwood

If you’re drawn to natural wood with a refined look, cedar and redwood are great choices. They are known for their rich color and natural resistance to decay, and these woods bring a warm, rustic charm to your outdoor space. Cedar and redwood are more resistant to insects and moisture than many other woods, though they’ll need occasional care to stay in top shape.

  • Benefits: Beautiful, naturally resistant to rot and insects, develops a natural patina over time
  • Maintenance: Regular sealing or staining to maintain color and protect against moisture.


Tropical Hardwoods (e.g., Ipe, Mahogany)

For a high-end, long-lasting option, tropical hardwoods like Ipe and Mahogany are exceptionally durable and resistant to pests and rot. Their dense structure resists wear and weather damage, providing a luxurious look and feel that few other materials can match.

  • Benefits: Unmatched durability, naturally weather-resistant, visually stunning with rich colors
  • Maintenance: Requires regular oiling to maintain color or can be left untreated to develop a natural gray patina.

Which Material is Right for You?

Choosing a suitable material depends on your needs and preferences. If you’re seeking an affordable, durable option, pressure-treated wood may be the best fit. Composite decking stands out for its low maintenance and eco-friendly benefits, and clients who want a high-end, natural look, cedar, redwood, or tropical hardwoods offer lasting appeal. At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we’ll guide you through each option, helping you find the perfect material to suit your project and enhance your outdoor space.
Whether you’re building a new deck or updating an existing one, our expert team ensures you get the best quality materials for a stunning deck that stands the test of time. Contact us today to start planning your dream deck!

Ground-Level Decks: Foundation Tips and Best Practices

At Evergreen Deck & Fence, we know that a deck is only as strong as its foundation. That’s why we emphasize stability and longevity in every ground-level deck we build:

  • Solid Foundation: Depending on your yard, we may use concrete blocks, deck footings, or a gravel base. Each option offers excellent support without extensive excavation, making it cost-effective and durable.
  • Ventilation for Durability: Proper airflow is essential even at ground level. We raise the deck slightly off the ground to prevent moisture buildup, ensuring it stays beautiful and sturdy throughout the seasons.
  • Precision Leveling: Our team is meticulous about leveling and alignment. With tools like string levels and shims, we ensure every beam and joist is securely in place, ready to support a lifetime of enjoyment.


Choosing Evergreen Deck & Fence means trusting a team that knows the value of craftsmanship and quality materials. We don’t cut corners because we know
your deck should be built to last.

  • Open-Air Lounge: Create a comfortable lounging area with outdoor furniture, ambient lighting, and a fire pit. This design is wonderful for entertaining and casual gatherings.
  • Garden Haven: Integrate planters, trellises, or pergolas to create a garden oasis. Add native plants and flowers to blend your deck with the natural surroundings.
  • Dining Deck: Add an outdoor dining table and chairs for family dinners or weekend brunches. With lighting and built-in seating, your deck becomes an ideal gathering place.

Our design team will work with you to ensure every detail—from the decking layout to additional features—reflects your taste and lifestyle. Our expertise brings your vision to life, guiding you through each choice to create a space you’ll love.

Evergreen's Tips for Long-Lasting Ground-Level Decks

To keep your ground-level deck looking great, follow these maintenance tips:

  • Annual Inspections: We advise checking for loose boards, rusty fasteners, and any signs of wear. Our team is here to assist with repairs or maintenance, ensuring your deck remains safe and beautiful.
