Decks & Pergolas

Decks and pergolas create the foundation for how outdoor spaces are actually used. Whether it’s extending your home, defining a gathering area, or adding architectural structure to an open yard, these builds must be engineered correctly and designed with purpose. Our decks and pergolas are custom-planned for Florida conditions, focused on long-term performance, comfort, and clean visual integration with your home.

Purpose-Driven Outdoor Structures

Decks and pergolas should feel intentional, not added on. We design each structure to support how you move, gather, and relax outdoors while maintaining proper spacing, proportions, and visual balance with your home’s architecture.
Built To Withstand Florida Conditions

Heat, moisture, and seasonal storms require more than standard construction methods. We account for airflow, drainage, material expansion, and anchoring so your deck or pergola holds up year after year without premature wear.

Custom Layouts
Each design is tailored to your yard, elevation, and usage needs.
Structural Strength
Proper footings, framing, and load support are always prioritized.
Material Selection
Wood and composite options chosen for durability and longevity.
Clean Integration
Structures blend naturally with existing homes and landscapes.

Experience You Can Trust | Dickerson Decks & Patios

Building elevated structures and shade systems requires an understanding of load distribution, fastening systems, material behavior, and long-term exposure. With 38+ years of combined, our team has worked through every generation of decking materials — from traditional lumber to modern composites — and understands how each performs over time. That experience allows us to design decks and pergolas that remain structurally sound, safe, and visually consistent despite Florida heat, moisture, and daily use. Every connection, footing, and support is planned with longevity in mind.

Functional Benefits & Value

A well-built deck or pergola expands usable living space while solving elevation and access challenges. Proper structural planning prevents sagging, movement, and premature wear, while material selection reduces maintenance demands over time. Pergolas provide controlled shade and visual definition, while decks create elevated platforms that integrate seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. These structures improve daily functionality, comfort, and long-term value without becoming maintenance liabilities.

Decks and pergolas are often paired with patios, retaining walls, and fire features to complete the outdoor environment. We frequently integrate these structures with hardscapes below, retaining walls for grade transitions, and fire elements that extend seasonal use. Each service is designed to work together, ensuring the finished space feels intentional, balanced, and fully usable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a deck and a patio?
Decks are typically elevated and built with framing systems, while patios are ground-level hardscapes. Decks are ideal for uneven terrain or raised entries.
Do pergolas provide full shade?
Pergolas offer partial shade and structure. They can be enhanced with slats, covers, or climbing elements depending on the design.
What materials last longest in Florida weather?
Composite decking and pressure-treated lumber are both popular options, selected based on exposure, maintenance expectations, and budget.
Can decks and pergolas be designed together?
Yes. Many projects combine both elements to create defined zones and architectural continuity.
How customizable are the designs?
Every project is custom-planned. Layout, size, materials, and features are tailored to the property and intended use.
