At Absolute Landscapes, we specialize in crafting custom decks that enhance homes throughout Howard County and the surrounding areas.
Why Add a Custom Deck to Your Home?
A well-designed deck instantly expands your home’s usable square footage, providing a dedicated area for a wide range of activities.
- Create an Entertainment Hub: A deck is the perfect setting for hosting barbecues, family dinners, or simply relaxing with friends around an outdoor fire pit. It provides a comfortable, defined space for seating and socializing.
- Increase Your Property Value: A professionally installed deck is a highly sought-after feature that can significantly boost your home’s market value and curb appeal.
- Enhance Your Views: An elevated or multi-level deck can offer unique vantage points of your property that you can’t get from anywhere else. Imagine creating different zones for a hot tub, an outdoor dining area, or a quiet corner for stargazing.
- Personalized Outdoor Retreat: Your deck can be your personal getaway. It’s a place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after a long day, and connect with the great outdoors without leaving home.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best materials for a new deck? We often recommend composite decking because it is durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to rot, insects, and fading. However, traditional wood decks are also a great option for their natural beauty. We can help you choose the best material based on your budget, style preferences, and desired level of maintenance.
How long does a deck installation take? The timeline for a deck installation can vary depending on the size, complexity, and materials used. On average, a standard deck can take anywhere from one to three weeks to complete, from foundation work to the final touches. We will provide a more precise timeline once we finalize your custom design.
Can you build a deck on uneven ground? Yes, absolutely. Our experienced team can design and build a deck on sloped or uneven terrain. We use proper foundation techniques, such as setting posts in concrete footers, to ensure your deck is level, stable, and secure, regardless of the landscape.
