Before we start, a note about design: Think outside the  box. There's more than squares,  rectangles and stacks with a multilevel deck design. Multilevel decking can be modern, contemporary or traditional. Consider flowing, wraparound porches; angled geometry that works around site features; or low steps that gently transition one area to the next. The sky is the limit. (Almost literally.)

Planning multiple deck levels starts with how you want to use your deck when it is complete.  A hardwood multilevel deck can make the most of your quality time at home. Weekdays might include work-from-home time, or schoolwork, in the fresh air.  On weekends, everyone can spread out on separate levels for dining al fresco or poolside lounging. Evenings are for dinner, drinks, and stargazing.

Maybe your location has an amazing view but... your yard, well, not so much? Two or more levels of decking can go UP or OUT and allow you to exploit that  valuable landscape. Follow the contours of your site or architecture with levels that look out, then add cool features like built in couches or a hot tub to enjoy the view in comfort. The return on your investment is in usable living space and enjoyment for years to come.
