It is becoming increasingly popular to "deck up" homes. An artfully constructed deck or patio adds usefulness as well as beauty to a home.

A deck is a structure that joins the house; usually it has a railing but no roof. A patio on the other hand, is an open paved area that abuts the home. Patios can typically be done in a Spanish style. While there is a great similarity between the two, patios require level ground with good drainage, whereas decks can be constructed over uneven of hilly terrain.
