Custom Decks for a home in Herriman, Utah

Custom Decks for Herriman Homes

A raised deck off a high main floor creates a natural opportunity for custom work in Herriman: two outdoor spaces stacked on top of each other. The upper deck becomes the dining and grilling area off the kitchen, while the space underneath can be designed as a shaded patio with lighting, or as enclosed storage for bikes and yard gear. An under-deck drainage system can keep the lower area dry. Planning both levels together sets post locations, ceiling height below and stair placement, so neither space feels like an afterthought once the project is finished.

Compact lots in newer subdivisions shape the custom features people ask for. A privacy wall or a pergola with slatted panels can screen a neighbor's second-story view. Built-in benches and planters save floor space compared with loose furniture. For young kids, stair gates and railings without gaps they can climb are worth designing in from the start. Families who head to Blackridge Reservoir or J. Lynn Crane Park on weekends may want a spot to hose off gear and hang towels. Lighting on stairs and posts makes the deck safer after dark.

Custom features add structural demands, and Herriman's wind makes that more important. Privacy walls and pergolas catch gusts coming off the Oquirrhs, so posts, footings and connections have to be sized accordingly, along with snow load. Material mixes like composite decking with cedar accents or metal railings need detailing for hot, dry summers and freeze-thaw winters. HOA architectural review is common here, so get written approval first. SLC Deck Builders is locally owned and operated, and our crew builds custom decks across Herriman. We'll visit, discuss ideas and give you an on-site estimate.

Key Benefits

Built for Your Terrain. Sloped lots and walkout basements are common in Herriman's foothill neighborhoods. Our crew designs multi-level decks, elevated platforms and stair systems that make the most of tricky grades while keeping the structure sound under heavy winter snow loads.
Features That Fit How You Live. Built-in seating, planters, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and lighting turn a deck into a true outdoor room. We can help you decide which features are worth including, how they fit together and how they affect the structure and your overall budget.
Views Front and Center. Many Herriman homes look out on the Wasatch Front, the Oquirrhs or the valley lights. A custom layout can position seating, choose railing styles and set deck height to frame those views, so the scenery becomes part of the design instead of an afterthought.
Mixed Materials Done Right. Custom decks often combine composite decking, natural wood accents, metal railings and stone or concrete transitions. We detail how those materials meet, expand and drain, so the finished deck looks intentional and handles Utah's temperature swings without gaps, warping or water problems. We stand behind our work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a privacy wall on my Herriman deck stand up to the wind?

It can if it's designed for it. A solid or slatted wall acts like a sail in gusts coming off the Oquirrhs, so posts need proper footings and the connections need to be strong. Slatted designs let some wind pass through, which reduces the load. Your HOA may limit the height or style, so check first. We'll design the wall with your lot's exposure in mind.

Can the space under my raised deck become a usable patio?

Often, yes. Many Herriman homes have main floors high enough to leave headroom beneath the deck. With an under-deck drainage system, lighting and a hard surface below, it can become a shaded patio or dry storage. We plan post locations and clearance with that use in mind so the lower space works as well as the deck above.

What makes a deck custom?

A custom deck is designed specifically for your home and lot rather than adapted from a standard plan. That might mean multiple levels, curved edges, wraparound sections, built-in features, a pergola, integrated lighting or a layout shaped around a view or a tree. Custom decks also tend to combine materials in more creative ways. The common thread is that the design starts with your space and goals, and our team works out the structure from there.

Are custom decks much more expensive?

Custom features add cost, but the amount depends on what you choose. Multiple levels, elevated framing, curves, built-ins, pergolas and upgraded railings each add materials and labor. Some homeowners keep costs manageable by choosing one or two signature features rather than everything at once, or by planning the deck in phases. We can price different options so you can see where your budget goes furthest.
