Sonoma County Deck Build Project

This Sonoma County project blends two surfaces that usually live apart — a low redwood deck flowing directly onto a stamped-concrete patio. The result is a backyard that reads as one continuous outdoor floor instead of a deck stopping abruptly at a slab. Getting that seamless transition right is a coordination problem Soulié solves by running both trades in-house: the concrete is poured, stamped, and finished to meet the deck at the right height, and the redwood is framed low and flashed so the two materials sit flush and shed water correctly where they meet. A ground-level deck like this keeps the design open and stair-free, which suits Sonoma County homeowners who want an accessible backyard that still has the warmth of real wood underfoot. Redwood handles the wet-winter, dry-summer cycle, and the stamped concrete adds a durable, low-maintenance zone for furniture, a grill, or a hot tub. The combination gives you the best of both materials — wood where you want warmth, concrete where you want durability — without a hard visual seam between them. If you're trying to connect a deck to existing hardscape or planning both from scratch, we'll walk the site and detail how the two surfaces should meet.
