Decks & Landscape

SCCB was brought in to update the back Decks on this duplex/beach rental property in Kinnebunk. Home owner wanted similar but modern in design and material to what was existing.

This beautiful spot on Spruce Creek was looking for an update but not make over. Some rot repair, updated railing system, etc. We were able to improve the space in a good way that will be able to adapt with a coming addition in the near future.

These clients brought us back after doing a custom fence for them in 2022. Looking to revamp the deck space of their kitchen, also increase the garden interaction factor. SCCB designed and built this deck with beautiful Mahogany (Meranti) decking, railing, trellis & lattice work.

This garden bed was designed and built by SCCB, spring 2023. The second key-Hole raised bed by SCCB. All cedar & Douglas fir construction for natural materials. Logs, sticks, leaves, etc used to build bed structure, increase soil moisture, provide microbial habitat and lower demand of quality imported loam. 16’x12′ foot print. Can be scaled up or down.

Home owner was looking to clean up the front steps in an economic way. We opted to remove the rotten hand rail, grind & patch the concrete steps as needed, paint the existing steps and install a new metal hand rail system.

Summer 2023 – Customer was looking to add quality outdoor living space. SCCB was able to help them finalize the vision by designing and building this beautiful covered porch.

Summer 2023 – SCCB was contacted by homeowner who had parted ways with home builder. Farmers porch was mostly complete, and they had lots of materials onsite for us to work with. We were able to complete the vision of a three story side deck, connecting pool, living room & primary bedroom.

This homeowner was looking to update the decks all around this home in Rye. 4 in total, all in unique states of distress. We decided to sand, strip & paint the two main entrance decks; taking advantage of the quality wood structure but hiding the heavy wear and tear of previous bad finish choices. For the largest deck out back, we elected to go with a chemical wash/restore/refinish approach using power washer & new stain. We sanded and re-painted the white railings. For the final deck, the smallest of them all, we decided to rebuild it with new mahogany decking boards and trim elements.

Beautiful new deck built in Hampton Falls, NH. View this page to see the rest of the gallery of this project!

This is another multi phase project from Seattle in 2017-2019. The cedar fence and gate I built can be seen in one of the photos. Clients had us back 2 years later to finish a deck job they after separating from the deck contractor. Although not perfect, we decided to keep most of the deck platform and move forward with the roofing structure and railing systems designed and built by Sean Carney.

Another project from the PNW. Decking and Railing made completely of Ipe, an exotic hardwood. This job included adding a door and completely changed the curb appeal of this social families neighborhood home.

This amazing deck and backyard space are fairway-side at the Sand Point Country Club in North Seattle, WA. Custom work all around including the stain on the cedar pergola and metal privacy screens. 10/10, wood recommend.

We build this premium pressure treated deck in Seabrook, NH in June of 2022. Pretty straight forward, stand alone deck, we took some care to scribe in the decking tight to the pool. Nice railing, nice gate, just a nice little deck all around.

While in business in Seattle I specialized in what I coined “back yard remodels”. This project is a great example of the process. We graded the land and used terraced stone walls to reclaim previously unused, sloped semi forested space. We updated the perimeter and added privacy with new modern cedar fencing. We also built a ‘keyhole’ raised garden bed in the new usable flat space to increase interaction and therefore resiliency in the newly claimed yard space.

A long awaited, and big improvement to access from the back door to the driveway on this one. Some rough work during the process, all rocks produced during excavation were carefully placed back for erosion control.

Another multi-phased property from my years in Seattle. We started work on this property by building the fence in 2017. Then came back for a deck in 2018… and finally this custom fire pit in 2019. A very consistent clean and modern look all around on this property owned by a graphic animator. The paver deck is certainly unique and I’d love to do another one!

A fun gate project. Home owner grew up on a ranch in Texas and asked for a clean take with a ranch influence. I love it.

Fence in background also by SCCB.

My first company was a fencing business in Seattle. These are some of my favorite photos of my 3 summer stint of mostly fencing. All fences shown are Western Red Cedar. All fences shown were custom, designed and built by Sean Carney 2017-2019.

We wrapped this property in the Queen Anne neighborhood of Seattle, WA. Cedar framed hog panel fencing along the front, privacy cedar fencing along the alley way with two custom gates. We redid the entry deck with cedar decking. Custom made a small “timber frame” little free library with in-layed sheathing for the front curb.

Large deck with an elastomeric membrane waterproof decking surface. Custom railing system with powder coated steel pipe. Large PT engineered beams for up to 18′ spans between post. We also excavated a hill side and installed a retaining wall to create a storage space under the deck.

This deck replacement uncovered substantial rot that needed to be remedied. It added a couple of days to the job but looks good, is good. Home owners love this new backyard deck!

This family heirloom swing was built by a friends grandfather, George Noble Steelman. A few years after George’s passing, a tree fell on the swing, rendering it completely unusable.

If you look closely in some photos, you can see the new wood construction. One of the two swings was completely spared in the accident which allowed me to use it as a template. It was a lot of fun to learn from the skills of George while rebuilding this swing of his that his granddaughter held so near and dear. Pictures say it all.
