As outdoor living continues to evolve, Long Island homeowners are looking for creative ways to expand and enhance their outdoor spaces. One of the most stylish and functional solutions? Multi-level decks. These elevated designs not only add architectural interest, but they also create dedicated zones for relaxation, dining, and entertainment.

What Is a Multi-Level Deck?
A multi-level deck is a series of connected deck platforms set at different elevations. Whether separated by a few steps or distinct levels, this design helps define outdoor spaces without the need for walls or fences. Multi-level decks are ideal for sloped yards, pool areas, or large backyards needing structure.
Benefits of Multi-Level Decks
1. Maximized Outdoor Space
Instead of one large, flat platform, a multi-level deck breaks up your outdoor space into usable sections. You can create areas for:
-
Dining with a grill and table
-
Lounge seating with outdoor sofas
-
Hot tubs or pools with built-in surrounds
-
Fire pits or outdoor kitchens
Each level serves a different function while flowing together seamlessly.
2. Improved Aesthetics and Property Value
Multi-level decks are visually striking and add dimension to your backyard. They enhance curb appeal and make your home stand out in the neighborhood—something buyers notice immediately.
A professionally built multi-level deck by Eled Decking can also increase resale value, giving you both enjoyment and a return on investment.
3. Perfect for Sloped or Uneven Yards
If your yard isn’t perfectly flat, don’t worry—a multi-level deck is actually the ideal solution. Rather than paying for expensive grading or retaining walls, a stepped deck works with your landscape. This allows you to:
-
Integrate your deck into the natural terrain
-
Avoid unnecessary excavation
-
Reduce soil erosion and drainage issues
4. Design Flexibility
With multiple platforms, you can experiment with shapes, styles, and features. Want to mix wood and composite? Prefer a covered section or pergola on one level? It’s all possible. Popular ideas include:
-
Wraparound staircases
-
Glass or metal railings
-
Built-in seating, planters, and lighting
-
Outdoor bars and kitchenettes
-
Sectioned roofing or partial pergolas
At Eled Decking, we tailor every project to your preferences—down to the smallest detail.
5. Better Traffic Flow and Safety
Dividing your deck into levels naturally guides people through the space. This makes hosting easier and helps prevent crowding. You can keep children on one level while adults gather on another or isolate a hot tub for safety.
Strategic placement of railings, lights, and wide stairs ensures safe movement between levels, day or night.
Popular Multi-Level Deck Layouts
1. Dining Above, Lounge Below
Place your dining area on an elevated deck closer to the kitchen, with a few steps leading down to a lounging area with comfy seating and maybe a fire pit.
2. Poolside Platform with Upper Shade Area
Build a ground-level deck flush with your pool and a raised section with a pergola or roof, perfect for shaded reading or napping.
3. Split-Level with Hot Tub
One level can support seating, while the next holds a sunken hot tub with privacy screening and LED lighting.
Whatever your vision, our team can make it happen—on time and within budget.
Material Choices for Multi-Level Decks
Whether you choose natural wood, composite decking, or PVC, each level can be customized for style and performance. Many homeowners opt for:
-
Composite decking for low maintenance
-
PVC trim for modern edges
-
Pressure-treated framing for strength
-
Hidden fasteners for a clean finish
