Custom Deck with Built-In Planter

Ray Newkirk General Contractor: Eaton Most of Deck Planter in Front

Creative Design, Thoughtful Details, Built to Last.

This custom deck showcases the thoughtful design and craftsmanship that Outside The Box Builders brings to outdoor living spaces. Featuring an integrated planter, carefully crafted railing joints, a custom fan-shaped detail where the deck changes direction, and built-in deck lighting, each element contributes to a finished space that’s as functional as it is inviting. It’s these distinctive touches and attention to detail that make every deck we build one of a kind.

  • Ray (and his fantastic team…) did a superb job on a landscaping/decking project at our home.

    The project involved replacing a major set of retaining walls that run around two sides of our property, which rises steeply uphill on those sides, then installing a new area of redwood decking above these walls. Ray demonstrated a real craftsman’s pride in installing a series of complex angles, a fan around one curve, two staircases and a planter box, producing a beautiful finished space that exceeded our expectations.
    Ray worked closely with us on the overall design of the project, as well as many specific details, always coming forward with great ideas to enhance the ascetics of the overall result. He communicated with us frequently and clearly throughout the project, and demonstrated a wonderful harmonious and productive relationship with his team and us.
    Ray is a consummate professional and highly skilled craftsman who takes justifiable pride in the quality of his work. It is a delight to work with him (and his team), and we have no hesitation in recommending him unreservedly.
