The project
A comfortable connection to the yard.
This Crownsville, Maryland, deck brings an outdoor dining area and a place to lounge directly beside the home. Oasis used TimberTech deck boards and broad steps to connect the deck with the yard below.
The photographs show why the layout matters. A dining table sits closer to the house, while lounge chairs occupy another part of the deck. The broad steps make the transition into the yard a visible part of the design, so the deck feels connected to the rest of the outdoor space.
What makes it work
The details shape the space.
Space for two everyday uses
The deck accommodates both dining and lounging. Considering these uses together makes it easier to picture a typical evening outside, from a meal at the table to a quieter seat beside the house.
The steps shape the experience
The broad stair opening is a defining feature of this project. Rather than hiding the connection to the yard, the design gives that transition a prominent place along the deck’s edge.
A consistent deck surface
TimberTech boards carry across the outdoor living area and steps. The warm tone visible in the photographs works alongside the home’s siding and the green backdrop of the yard.

Can a deck include both dining and lounge areas?
This project does. During planning, it helps to map the furniture you intend to use and the paths between the house, seating and stairs.
What should I prepare before discussing a new deck?
Photograph the rear of your home and its connection to the yard. Think about the furniture you want, where the stairs should lead and whether the deck is mainly for dining, relaxing or both.
