Deck with Patio

Deck With Covered Patio | LGC Remodeling

A deck with patio underneath creates two functional outdoor spaces within the same footprint. Homeowners choose this layout to gain shade, weather protection, and flexible use without sacrificing elevation or views. Whether it’s a patio with deck above or a deck with patio below, the key is proper structural planning and clean integration.

At LGC Remodeling, we design and build combined deck–patio structures that work as a single system—structurally, visually, and functionally.

How Deck and Patio Systems Work Together

A deck with patio cover typically uses the deck structure above as the roof or support system for the patio below. This approach allows the upper level to remain open while creating a protected area underneath.

Common configurations include:

• Deck with patio underneath for shade and rain protection
• Patio with upper deck for dining or seating above
• Small deck with patio for compact yards
• Deck with lower patio integrated into the landscape

Each configuration requires careful load calculations, drainage planning, and material coordination.

Patio Decks With Roofs: Design Options

When planning patio decks with roofs, design choices affect both appearance and long-term performance.

Popular options include:

• Patio deck with roof built into the deck framing
• Deck patio with roof using an independent cover structure
• Patio with deck on top supported by reinforced framing
• Deck with patio below using waterproofing systems

For homeowners looking for texture and contrast, we often combine a deck with paver patio underneath for durability and visual separation.

Design Considerations for Multi-Level Outdoor Spaces

Successful patio with deck designs are based on proportion and flow. We focus on:

• Headroom clearance under the deck
• Water management and drainage
• Lighting and airflow
• Transitions between levels
• Integration with the house and yard

This ensures decks with patios underneath feel open and usable—not dark or confined.

Homeowners choose LGC Remodeling because we offer:

• Experience with multi-level deck and patio systems

Deck and Patio Combination Projects in Vancouver WA & Portland OR

LGC Remodeling designs and builds integrated deck-and-patio systems throughout Clark County and the Portland metro. The combination of an elevated deck connected to a ground-level patio is one of the most functional outdoor living configurations for Pacific Northwest homes — the deck provides a direct connection from the house’s interior living areas, while the patio below creates a shaded, sheltered outdoor room underneath that stays cool in summer and protected from light rain.

In Vancouver WA neighborhoods like Salmon Creek and Cascade Park, where homes often have walkout basement levels, this configuration works especially well — the deck serves the main floor while the patio below serves the lower level. In Portland neighborhoods with significant grade change, the combination allows both levels to have outdoor access without steps. LGC designs these systems as integrated units, not two separate projects bolted together.
