Building a Low-Level Deck
The advantage of such structures is that they are simple in terms of construction, and are easy to care about. They also don’t need railings, footings, or steps.
Every member of our team is an experienced ground or low deck builder focused on creating rugged construction. For that, we have the expertise, quality tools, and reliable materials suppliers.

Building a Deck around a Tree
Our team can successfully copy even with a tricky task like this. When working on such projects, we balance the needs of both: the tree and the platform.
We install the latter high enough to allow room for the tree roots’ growth.

The Procedure
- We mark corners and outline the platform;
- We define the highest point of the ground and dig holes for posts;
- We configure and assemble the frame;
- We add supports and shovel cement;
- We measure and attach joists;
- We measure for trees, join frame, and lay the boards;
- We clean and stain the feature.
Cost to Build a Floating Deck
Depending on the size of the structure and the materials selected for it, you may spend from $1,000 to $14,000. Just as a reference, a 16×16 floating deck may cost you between $3,840 and $8,960. However, every project is more or less custom.
Once you contact us, our specialists will visit you to discuss the details and consult on the best options. We will also provide you with a free estimate for the project. So, you will have an idea of the possible budget well in advance. Thus, you will be able to decide, whether an expensive or cheap floating deck will satisfy your needs.
