Real Deck Projects to Inspire your Nashville Backyard

When it comes to custom decks in Nashville, no two builds are the same—and that’s exactly what makes the work so rewarding. At DW Construction, we’ve worked on everything from small backyard platforms to multi-level entertainment hubs. In this post, we’re spotlighting some of our favorite real-world deck projects to inspire your own outdoor transformation.

Multi-Level Deck for Entertaining in Franklin

This family wanted a dynamic space for hosting guests and relaxing with loved ones. We created a multi-level deck with separate zones: a grilling station near the kitchen entrance, a dining area with pergola-style shade, and a sunken lounge with built-in seating and a fire feature. By working with the slope of their backyard, we gave them a tiered design that flows seamlessly into the landscape.

Cozy Corner Deck in Green Hills

A retired couple asked us for a low-maintenance deck to fit their downsized lifestyle. Their yard was modest, so we focused on simplicity and warmth. Using composite decking and cedar railing, we built a corner deck with a privacy wall, planters, and a small bistro table space. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or catching the sunset without leaving home.

Integrated Deck & Porch in Belle Meade

This client had a beautiful brick home but no transition between the house and the backyard. We solved that by designing a covered porch that extends into a large deck with built-in lighting and steps. Matching finishes and elegant trim details helped the structure blend perfectly with the home’s traditional aesthetic. Now it’s a year-round hangout that looks like it’s always been there.

Wraparound Deck for a Cottage in Leipers Fork

This rustic cottage sits on a wooded lot with scenic views in every direction. We designed a wraparound deck that gives the homeowners a 360-degree experience of their property. With separate access points, benches built into the railing, and custom curved edges, the final product feels both natural and intentional. It’s become their favorite feature of the home.

Nashville Backyard Makeover With a New Deck

This homeowner came to us with a small concrete patio and a big vision. We demoed the old slab and built a spacious deck that connects seamlessly with their backdoor. We added string lighting, a railing upgrade, and lattice skirting to finish the look. The space now fits everything from weeknight dinners to weekend parties—and it’s totally changed how they use their backyard.
