Custom Decks for Murray Homes

Custom work in Murray tends to start from the house itself. A brick bungalow near downtown Murray or a long, low rambler has a character worth matching, and a deck that echoes the roof line or picks up the brick color looks like it belongs. Because most established neighborhoods here have no HOA, you can choose shapes, railing styles and colors without a design review board. City setback and permit rules still apply, but within them there is a lot of room to make the deck your own rather than a plain rectangle stuck on the back wall.

Flat lots open up options that hillside homes do not have. A Murray deck can wrap around a corner of the house, step down once to a lower lounge, or extend out to meet a garden path without tall posts or heavy bracing. Built-in benches along the edge save space for a table, and planter boxes can double as a privacy screen on yards that sit near busy roads. Some homeowners frame an opening around a mature tree so its trunk rises through the deck. Each of these features changes the framing, so we plan them together from the start.

Materials can mix too. Composite decking with a wood or metal accent, cable railing on the yard side and a solid screen toward the neighbor all work well together, and each one should be detailed to handle snow load, freeze-thaw and strong summer sun. SLC Deck Builders is locally owned and operated, and our crew designs and builds custom decks across Murray. Bring photos of decks you like and a sense of budget. We walk the yard, sketch ideas around your trees and doors, and give you an on-site estimate for the design.

Key Benefits

Built for Your Terrain. Sloped lots and walkout basements are common in Murray'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 Murray 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 custom deck replace the old concrete patio behind my Murray home?

Yes, and it's a frequent goal in Murray. The old slab can be removed, or part of it can stay as a landing at the foot of the deck stairs. A custom layout can cover the same area or extend past it with built-in seating and planters. We look at the slab, drainage and door height to decide whether to build over, beside or in place of it.

Can I build a deck around a tree in my Murray yard?

Often, yes. We frame an opening around the trunk with enough space for growth and movement in wind, and we keep footings clear of the main roots. The opening needs regular checking as the tree grows. Leaves and seeds will land on the deck, so composite or a wood deck with a good finish makes cleanup easier. An arborist can confirm the tree is healthy first.

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.
