Floating Decks in Thornton, CO
A floating deck is a freestanding, ground-level platform that isn’t attached to your house. It rests on deck blocks or footings instead of a ledger board, which often makes it faster to build and easier to place anywhere in your yard.
Floating decks are a flexible, budget-friendly way to add a patio-style hangout, a hot-tub pad, or a seating area — in wood or low-maintenance composite, built to handle Colorado weather.

Good to Know
A floating deck is a freestanding, ground-level platform that isn’t attached to your house. Instead of a ledger board bolted to the home, it rests on deck blocks or footings, which often makes it faster to build and easy to place anywhere in the yard.
An attached deck connects to the house with a ledger board and usually needs deeper footings and permits. A floating deck stands on its own, sits lower to the ground, and is typically simpler and quicker to build — though it’s not ideal for elevated or second-story spaces.
It depends on size, height, and local rules. Many low, small floating decks need little or no permit, but larger ones may. As your licensed local contractor, we check Thornton/Denver-area requirements and handle any permit needed.
Yes. We design custom platforms that wrap around a tree or feature, leaving room for growth, to create a shaded, one-of-a-kind spot in your yard.
Floating decks can be built in pressure-treated wood, cedar, or low-maintenance composite like Trex or Azek. They sit on a compacted gravel base with deck blocks or footings for stability and drainage.
Because there’s no ledger and often shallower footings, many floating decks go up faster than attached decks — frequently within a few days, depending on size, shape, and site prep.
We start with a compacted, well-drained gravel base and set adjustable deck blocks or footings, then build a square, properly spanned frame. This keeps the deck level and prevents shifting through freeze-thaw cycles.
