DAY'S END Natural Transitions Bill Bolton Focus on good design and clever construction Rather than building a deck that just sits out in the backyard somewhere, I like to provide visual continuity with the house and landscaping - whether that's trees, boulders, elevation changes, or views - so they all tie in together.

Homeowners are pleased with this, and it's part of the creative process that I thoroughly enjoy.
