A Heritage Landscapes Deck Is…
A Place to Look
Out & Settle In
Built for Perspective. Designed for Use.
A well-placed deck creates new space where none existed before—an extension of home that meets the landscape on its own terms. In hillside gardens across Mill Valley and layered backyards in Ross or Belvedere, decks are not just platforms. They’re thresholds, vantage points, and places to pause.
At Heritage Landscapes, decks are never built in isolation. They are conceived as part of a complete landscape transformation, integrated with planting, hardscape, and lighting to create cohesion across levels and materials. Built to feel permanent. Designed to feel effortless.
Where Structure Meets Stillness
A morning coffee spot, a dinner table under the sky, a perch above the garden. A deck offers space to gather, to slow down, to be outside without leaving home. Shaped by the land, sunlight, slope, sightlines, and drainage all guide the design. Its purpose is practical and emotional: it holds experience, expands perspective, and allows the outdoor environment to be more fully lived in from daylight to dusk, season after season.
Common materials include:
Hardwoods like ipe, teak, and mahogany for natural durability
Thermally modified woods for dimensional stability
Composite decking for low maintenance in high-use areas
Steel framing for added strength and longevity on sloped terrain
Integrated lighting and railing details in wood, cable, or powder-coated steel
Each material is selected not just for appearance or price—but for how it lives in the landscape over time.

Designed as Part of the Whole
Heritage Landscapes decks are part of something larger—never piecemeal. This allows us to consider grade, architecture, plantings, and structure as one conversation. The result is a space that feels unified, intentional, and grounded in its surroundings.
