Custom Decks for Taylorsville Homes
Most of Taylorsville is flat, but homes closer to the Jordan River on the east side of the city can have a bit more grade, and that is where custom layouts make the most sense. A slope that falls away from the house can support a deck that steps down in two or three levels, each with its own purpose: dining by the door, lounging a few steps lower and a landing near the yard. Each level sits on its own footings below the frost line and is framed for snow load. We design the stairs so the whole deck flows naturally down the slope.
On the flatter lots in the Bennion area and around Taylorsville High School, custom work usually takes a different form. A raised deck off a split-entry kitchen can include a pergola or covered section for dining, built-in benches along the railing and lighting on the stairs, while the space beneath becomes a shaded patio. Ramblers lend themselves to wide, low decks with planters, a grill station and broad steps. Large trees can stay in the plan, too, since a deck can be framed around a trunk with room for growth. We help you pick the features that suit your yard and the way your household actually uses it.
Because most established neighborhoods here are not in an HOA, Taylorsville homeowners have a lot of freedom with custom materials and shapes, though CC&Rs apply in condo and townhome communities. Setbacks and utility easements still shape the footprint, and a custom deck usually needs a building permit. Locally owned and operated, SLC Deck Builders checks the house framing where a deck will attach, then designs and builds the structure with our own crew. On a split-entry home, that framing check matters even more, since a custom raised deck with a pergola or built-ins adds weight at the ledger.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I build a multi-level deck on my sloped lot near the Jordan River in Taylorsville?
Often, yes. A lot that drops away from the house is well suited to a deck that steps down in levels, which keeps each section closer to the ground and can be easier to use than one tall platform. Each level needs its own footings and framing, and the design may need a building permit. We look at your grade, soil and drainage on site before proposing a layout.
Can a custom deck be built around a big tree in my Taylorsville yard?
Yes, with planning. The framing is built around the trunk with an opening that leaves space for the tree to grow and sway, and footings are placed to avoid major roots. Low limbs may need trimming for clearance. We look at the tree's size and roots and suggest whether framing around it or keeping the deck clear of it is the better choice.
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.
