Englewood is part of Denver’s inner ring, where lots tend to be smaller and older than those in newer communities farther south. Many properties also have mature shade trees that have been growing for decades. At Griffin Decks & Covers, we design decks around your existing trees, landscaping, and available space rather than forcing a standard layout onto your yard. With more than 30 years of Front Range construction experience, we build decks to fit the property and how you plan to use it.
Over 30 years spent building and replacing decks on Englewood’s older, established blocks. Every deck we build is backed by a 5-year structural warranty and a 2-year workmanship guarantee.
We plan deck layouts and footings around established trees and their root systems, helping you preserve mature landscaping whenever possible.
When space is limited, every part of the layout matters. We design the deck around your yard’s actual dimensions instead of using a standard template.
Decks beneath mature trees can stay shaded and damp longer after rain and snow. We help you choose wood and composite materials that are well suited to those conditions and Colorado’s changing weather.
We review property lines, existing trees, and potential root zones before construction begins. This helps us plan the deck accurately and avoid issues that can be more common on older, established lots.
Englewood’s established neighborhoods, a few minutes from downtown Denver, often have smaller lots, mature landscaping, and homes positioned closer together than newer communities farther south. We design around those conditions, using your yard’s actual dimensions and existing features to create a deck that fits naturally into the property.
Every deck is backed by more than 30 years of Front Range construction experience and built with materials suited to Colorado’s sun, snow, and temperature changes. Start with a free consultation, and we’ll evaluate your property before developing the design.
A well-designed deck can add useful outdoor space without requiring a larger yard. Whether you want a place to relax, entertain, or enjoy the outdoors, we can create a layout that works with your existing trees, landscaping, and available space.
A well-built deck can make an older Englewood home more appealing by adding functional outdoor space. A thoughtfully designed deck also gives buyers another feature to appreciate when comparing similar homes and properties.
Working around a mature tree or a narrow part of the yard may call for a custom layout rather than a simple rectangle. Your deck can step around a tree, wrap a corner, or use the available space in another practical way. You choose the materials, size, and finishing details, and we build the design around your property.
A deck beneath mature trees can stay shaded and damp longer after rain or snow, so material selection and construction details matter. We account for those conditions along with Colorado’s freeze-thaw cycles when planning the structure and recommending decking materials.
Material choice matters more here than it does on a wide-open exurban lot, since Englewood's established trees keep more of the deck surface shaded and damp for longer stretches. Natural wood still offers a classic look but needs closer attention to rot and staining under that shade. Composite decking resists moisture and fading with far less upkeep, which is why it's often the better fit for a tree-covered backyard.
We begin with a free in-home consultation to listen closely to your ideas and answer your questions. We understand your requirements and gather an idea of what you need for your outdoor space.
Next, we collaborate to create a custom design tailored to your style, budget, and lifestyle. From size and shape to materials and finishes, we guide you through every choice.
Our experts handle all structural planning and permits, ensuring your deck meets local building codes and is engineered to last through Englewood’s weather.
Once approved, our experienced team builds your deck efficiently with attention to detail. Most projects finish within 1 to 2 weeks with minimal disruption to your home.
With construction complete, it is time to enjoy your new custom deck, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and making memories throughout the seasons.
Not necessarily. If your mature trees already provide plenty of afternoon shade, you may not need additional sun protection. A pergola or covered deck can still be useful for added protection from rain and snow. We’ll look at your yard and existing tree coverage before recommending one.
In many cases, yes. We can plan the deck layout and footing locations around established trees and their root systems. This allows us to make the most of your yard while taking the tree and the deck’s structural needs into account.
We consider the sightlines from nearby windows, yards, and neighboring properties when planning the deck. Depending on the layout, options such as privacy screens, fencing, or planter dividers can provide separation without enclosing the entire deck.
Sometimes. It depends on the condition of the existing framing, ledger, footings, and other structural components. We inspect the existing deck first and let you know whether it can be safely incorporated into the new design or if a full replacement is the better option.
Yes. A custom deck can make a smaller yard more functional by adding usable outdoor living space without taking up the entire property. We can also incorporate features such as built-in seating or multiple levels when they make sense for the available space.
