Dreaming up the concept of your ideal deck is one of the biggest, most important changes you can make to your home. If you’re stuck for ideas about what’s best suited to your nest, here are some traditional designs and modern trends.
Multilayered Deck
Building layers into your deck is visually impressive and gives you a variety of design and usage options. The deck could connect to your house or front porch and then step down from there, or you could start the deck from a higher point, such as a master bedroom or balcony.
Living Wall
Few features are more Instagrammable than a living wall. You can maintain privacy and get creative by covering a wall connecting you and a neighbor with real or pretend flowers, turf and pretty lights. Adding a gazebo can provide additional shelter and privacy to your outdoor living area.
Built-In Banquette
A popular choice in many people’s deck is seating that’s built into the furniture. It gives the overall finish a chic, Scandinavian aesthetic and saves space.
Incorporate the Deck Into Nature
If there’s a particularly spectacular tree or area in your yard, you can build the deck around it. This lets you relax and unwind in that area, and it’s a great way to fully integrate the design with the outdoor space.
Take in the Views
Stafford, Virginia, has some outstanding views, and if you’re lucky enough to have a home overlooking them, a deck on a higher floor could finish your property perfectly. A deck with a balcony that wraps around the upper level gives you the ideal vantage point to soak in the landscape.
At Prince William Home Improvement, we build high-quality patios, sunrooms, composite decks, wood decks and enclosures. Call us today at 800-799-7944 to organize your free in-home estimate with one of our friendly professionals.
As one of the best decking contractors in Stafford, Virginia, Prince William Home Improvement aims to deliver impressive quality every time. Thicker supports and joists and plenty of concrete in the foundations keep your deck sturdy throughout the seasons, and Trex decking makes maintenance a breeze — simply wash it with soapy water each season.
You can see exactly what your deck will look like against your home thanks to our CAD design service. This is included as standard in all our orders, letting you make tweaks and adjustments as needed. We want you to be happy with your decking, which is why we go to such lengths to deliver outstanding customer service.
- Composite: We believe that a composite deck is the most long-lasting and contemporary option. Trex boards are made from recycled wood and plastic, making them eco-friendly as well as durable. It’s low-maintenance and guaranteed for 25 years.
- Wood: Wood decks have a classic, natural look that can be beautiful, especially if you have a period home. While they can look impressive, wooden decking requires more maintenance than composite and doesn’t usually last as long.
- Concrete: A concrete deck is functional and straightforward, but it can get scorching in the sun and has limited design potential.
Screen Rooms
We create screen rooms that fit with your home’s architectural style and let you take advantage of the seasons as they progress. Enjoy the cool breezes of spring and fall as you relax with a good book or keep an eye on the little ones, or stay in the shade and watch the thunderstorms of summer.
A screen room is an ideal location to enjoy a bottle of wine from the nearby Potomac Point Winery or a craft beer from the Adventure Brewing Company in nearby Fredericksburg. Pick up some fresh produce from the local North Stafford farmers market every Wednesday and Sunday, cook it to perfection and enjoy it outside without any unwanted bugs.
Paver Patios
Our patios are also great for year-round enjoyment. We use high-quality materials from reputable brands, and reliable workmanship ensures our brick patios handle the freeze-thaw of winters. It also allows for a customized patio look, so you can create the perfect space to sit back and relax. Read below to learn more about our brick patio installation in Stafford Virginia.
We go the extra mile by visiting each customer to provide a free estimate based on their individual space, as opposed to relying on guesswork. Our team can give you ideas about what suits your property, but we’re aware that many people have their own design ideas in mind. If this is the case, we’ll talk it through with you and gain an in-depth understanding of what you want us to do.
Next, we create a technical drawing using CAD software so you can see what the finished design is going to look like. If you’d like to make any changes at this point, we’re more than happy to oblige.

One of the most critical choices you’ll make regarding your patio is the type of material you use, stone vs brick pavers vs stamped concrete. Each has unique benefits, and you can decide to go for a combination of all three.
Concrete
Concrete pavers
are arguably the most straightforward choice. You can customize them easily, whether you’ve got a specific color or finish in mind or you’d like a particular shape. The slabs tend to be larger than bricks and stone as well, so the project takes less time to complete if concrete is the primary material you choose to use. It’s also durable and can last for decades.
Stone
With stone, the finish can look as traditional or modern as you like. You can decide to opt for uncut stone pavers for an affordable style that looks effortless with its irregular pattern. Alternatively, you can get the stones cut into a particular shape for a more uniform, structured design. There is a range of colors and types to choose from, but you’re limited by what is naturally available.
Brick
A brick patio often features a pattern and has a dainty, elegant finish. Smaller bricks mean the project may take longer to complete than with stone or concrete, but you can achieve a truly unique finish. Bricks are available in a wide range of colors, sizes and shapes, so you can easily customize a brick patio to your requirements.
With so much variety in modern hardscaping, it can be challenging to pin down precisely what you want for your backyard. Discover the most sought-after current patio trends right now.
Outdoor Living Space
Don’t spend sunny days cooped up indoors just because that’s where your main living area is. One of the most popular patio styles is the full outdoor living space. You can install a gazebo, adorn it with stylish outdoor garden furniture, add a TV and decorate it with cushions, lighting and planters.
Match the Driveway, Pathways and Patio
When every aspect of a design is coordinated, the final result is striking and professional. If you opt for a patio in the backyard, consider installing a matching pathway and mirroring the design in the front yard. For example, if you choose to have a patterned brick border on your patio, you could incorporate the same design into retaining walls, sitting walls, paths, firepits and any other paved area.
Outdoor Kitchen and Bar
Growing in popularity each year is the outdoor kitchen. There’s no finer way to enjoy a meal than fresh from a grill in the great outdoors. If you love to barbecue, take it to the next stage and create a dedicated cooking area into your outdoor space. It’s possible to get a fully working kitchen with appliances, running water and storage. You can even install a separate bar area, giving you the ultimate space for alfresco entertainment.
Natural Stone Firepits
Our team members love showing off their craftsmanship by creating beautiful centerpieces, like firepits and sitting walls. A firepit can be inside the outdoor living area or a standalone feature in the yard. Not only do they look stunning, but they also mean you can comfortably enjoy the outdoors when the weather is cooler.
Combine Decking and Patio Pavers
If you’re looking to create a substantial feature, you can combine a deck with a patio. This can be visually impressive, as well as clearly defining the different areas. The deck might lead you from the house to the front porch, with steps leading down to a paved pathway. You could opt to build a patio in the sunniest spot in the garden and adorn it with sun loungers, so the path takes you to this designated sunbathing zone.
Retaining Walls
For many people, their landscape designs influence their vision for the ideal hardscaping features. If flower beds are important to you, you can add extra dimensions to your backyard by using retaining walls. They can be particularly useful for people whose outdoor space is on an incline or at the bottom of a hill. Cascading plants and climbers look beautiful with this type of design, as do neatly arranged flowers.
Popular Hardscape Shapes and Patterns
The way you arrange each stone has a significant impact on the visual impact the finished patio has. You can choose a uniform, singular pattern for a simple look or use modular designs for a more dynamic, contemporary finish. Adding a border brings a new dimension to the laying pattern, drawing attention to flower beds and clearly defining the paver shapes you’ve chosen. Some of the classic paving patterns to choose from include:
- Running bond
- Herringbone
- Basketweave
- Dutch pattern
- Tudor pattern
- Broken bond
