The REAL SIMPLE home gets a two-deck upgrade

Adam Dahill’s 130-year-old Brooklyn brownstone beautifully blends tradition and innovation. So, when he partnered with REAL SIMPLE and landscape design company Brooklyn Grange, he needed a solution that would honor the home’s historic character while enhancing its outdoor spaces. Enter TimberTech, the perfect match for their vision. 

Before

With overgrown plants and furniture that had seen better days, the backyard felt untamed and untouched, just waiting for a refresh to bring it to life.

After

The transformed backyard showcases vibrant landscaping and sleek, modern furniture. A stylish privacy wall surrounding the rounded ground-level deck features a mix of narrow- and standard-width boards in English Walnut, adding depth and visual interest.

Two new decks, one incredible outdoor oasis

A before image of the rooftop at the Brooklyn brownstone before the deck remodel. It is painted black and appears to be an empty area covered with water puddles and droplets during a rainy day. The backyard is littered with a ladder, siding, and other construction waste.
A rooftop with untapped potential design not only sat unused, but also failed to complement the property’s overall aesthetic. During renovations, it was raised to accommodate the new deck.

The decking uses standard width boards and narrow boards to a create ambiance of privacy for outdoor gatherings. The landscape design was created by Brooklyn Grange and the decking designs were created by Decks R Us.
Advanced PVC Decking in English Walnut was used to create a low-maintenance island deck for Adam’s backyard. The deck’s unique privacy wall design features a pattern of alternating narrow boards with a standard-width board, adding to the aesthetics and creates a sense of intimacy for outdoor gatherings. Thanks to the moisture-resistant properties of TimberTech Decking, Adam’s family won’t have to worry about mold or mildew.
