See NW Deckscapes at the Yard, Garden & Patio Show

2010-01-27T14:09:00.001-08:00

Make plans now to visit NW Deckscapes at the Portland OR Yard, Garden & Patio Show at the OR Convention Center Feb 12-14, 2010. We'll be showcasing our deck design and construction expertise and also show pictures of recent outdoor living roof structure construction. Feel free to call Pat if you'd like to set up an appointment! Discount tickets are available at Dennis' Seven Dees Garden Centers.

It's not too late for a great deck or roof structure!

Just because it's raining and cold doesn't mean your deck project has to wait until spring. The best thing about the Pacific Northwest is it rarely gets below freezing (ok, you got to admit last December was an exception!), so NW Deckscapes can build year round! Wouldn't be great to be able to use your brand new deck as soon as it gets nice in the spring? And if you have a roof structure built, you can use your barbeque this winter without getting wet!

Or maybe you want to design your ultimate outdoor living space this winter. Check out the Current Projects page for ideas.

Of course nothing beats visiting with Pat in person. Estimates are always free! We'll also be at the Spring Home & Garden Show February 24-28, 2010 at the Portland Expo Center.

We're here to help! Just give us a call or email!

Thanks!-Cindy McCullough

Have you ever been a victim of “builder's block?”

2009-09-23T20:30:00.000-07:00

It's more common than you think!
How many times have you thought about starting a project but decided against it because you did not see any designs or styles that fit your vision? We hear that story way too much! We decided to take steps to stop this builders block. We want people to be at peace with style and design of their project so they can get excited about it! With that in mind we created a page entitled Outdoor Living Design Ideas. Currently Outdoor Living Design Ideas has two articles: Introduction to Outdoor Living and Stone Deck Ideas. We are planning on adding new articles every month with the goal of having a library full of ideas!
We will also be sending out a quarterly email newsletter! We are still collecting emails for our newsletter, sign up here. The newsletter will include tradeshows where we are exhibiting, design ideas, maintenance tips, and other featured content.

See the new changes we made for yourself! Click here to see our Outdoor Living Design Ideas page!

Thanks!

John used Silca Systems Silca Grate made of ABS and polymeric sand for the filler. The deck is beautiful! Way to go, John! Check out John's blog to read all about it and see the finished product!
