BELLEVUE, WA — In the heart of the Pacific Northwest, where natural beauty meets suburban sophistication, homeowners in Bellevue are transforming their backyards into peaceful escapes and lively entertainment hubs—all with the help of thoughtful deck design.
At King County Decks, we’ve spent over two decades helping families from Seattle to Redmond, from Mercer Island to Kirkland, reimagine their outdoor living spaces. Whether you want a quiet corner for morning coffee or a grand space for hosting guests beside a jacuzzi, these ideas will help you shape a deck that feels like a personal retreat.
1. Multi-Level Decks for Entertaining and Relaxing
For homes with sloped yards—common in Bellevue and Kirkland—a multi-level deck is the perfect solution. One level can serve as a dining or grilling area, while the other hosts a fire pit or lounge furniture.
Our team at King County Decks specializes in structural planning for multi-story decks—even those with complex layouts, pools, or rooftop views. Built-in stairs, integrated lighting, and sleek railing systems make these projects both safe and stunning.
2. Pergolas That Add Shade and Style
A simple overhead pergola can change the entire feel of your deck. In Redmond, where the sun breaks through often enough to demand shelter, pergolas provide a balance of light and shade while giving your deck structure a polished, architectural finish.
Clients often pair pergolas with climbing vines, string lights, or retractable covers to create year-round usability.
3. Built-In Benches and Planters
Built-in seating gives your space a custom look while maximizing usable square footage. Add matching planters to bring in greenery and natural borders. This idea is especially popular in Tacoma and Seattle, where outdoor spaces are often cozy and multifunctional.
4. Composite Decking for Low Maintenance Luxury
Gone are the days of spending weekends sanding, sealing, and staining. Many homeowners in Mercer Island are turning to composite materials for their clean appearance, weather resistance, and long-term value.
At King County Decks, we supply both affordable and luxury materials, so you can choose what fits your lifestyle and budget best—whether it’s natural cedar or high-performance composite.
5. Spa and Hot Tub Integration
One of the most luxurious additions to any backyard retreat is a built-in jacuzzi or spa. We design decks that not only support the weight and plumbing of hot tubs, but also make them feel like a seamless part of your space.
Custom railing, privacy screens, or even surrounding pergolas can make your hot tub area feel like a spa oasis.
6. Modern Railing Systems
Upgrade from traditional wood balusters to sleek cable, glass, or aluminum railing systems that offer safety without compromising the view. Especially in Bellevue, where landscaping and distant vistas are often part of the charm, modern railing adds value and aesthetic appeal.
7. Outdoor Kitchens and Dining Spaces
Create the ultimate hosting environment with an outdoor kitchen, bar, or built-in grill area. Add a roof extension or covered pergola to ensure all-weather usability. These setups are ideal for homeowners in Seattle and Redmond who want to take advantage of every dry day the region offers.
