Small Deck Ideas

Published On: January 5th, 2026

Enjoying your outdoor space is not reserved for large yards with a multi-level deck beside a pool. Even when you don’t have a lot of room to work with, we can design a beautiful and unique small deck for almost any space.

It Doesn’t Have to Be a Deck

While many of our customers hire us to build a deck for them, we’re happy to help with any outdoor project idea you have. Whether it’s a front porch, a landing, or a small platform – we’re here to help.

By coming out to your home and seeing your outdoor space, we can get a better idea of what you’re looking for and offer a few suggestions.

We want to make sure you’ll enjoy the space when the project is done, so knowing how you intend to use it is critical. We also design and build roof structures, screened-in rooms, and more.

How Will You Use the Space?

Before any structure is built, it’s important to think about how you plan to use the space.

Are you looking for a place to enjoy your morning coffee? Or a spot to have dinner with your family during the warmer months?

Knowing how you want to use the space is the first step in choosing the right design.

What Materials Do You Want to Use?

When building a small deck, you can choose from the same materials we use for larger decks.

Whether you want wood or a composite structure, railings or not – the options are endless. Certain material choices may limit your design flexibility, but with our years of experience, we can easily find alternatives to match your ideas.

Still Not Sure What You Want Your Small Deck to Look Like?

That’s completely fine. We’re here to help you with design ideas and show you options based on the features you’re looking for.

We have showrooms throughout the United States where you can view materials and finishes so you’ll know exactly what you’re choosing before we begin construction.

In addition, we can create a 3D rendering of your finished space to help you visualize the design and make any adjustments before building starts.

If you’re considering adding a small deck to your home, contact us to schedule a consultation. We’ll visit your property to review your goals and budget. At Hickory Dickory Decks, we want everyone to enjoy the outdoors, and we’re proud to help make that happen across the U.S.
