The cascading stairs are the star of this deck. Instead of one narrow set of steps, wide stairs wrap around the corner and step down to the lawn, so the whole front of the deck feels open and welcoming.

Up top, black railings frame the deck and the sides of the stairs. The warm wood contrasts with the black, and the deck is sized to give plenty of space by the back door for a table and chairs.

Cascading deck stairs like these are popular for a reason. They look great, they handle a crowd, and on a summer evening they give everyone a spot to sit. It’s a detail our team in Fergus is always happy to build.

From the lawn, the layered steps make the deck look lower and friendlier than it really is, which is a nice trick on a house that sits up high.
