Building decks in Dix Hills
Dix Hills has the largest lots and the highest household incomes of any sizeable community on Long Island — frequently an acre or more, wooded, with sprawling colonials and expanded ranches set well back from the road. That space changes the brief entirely: instead of one deck, these projects often become a sequence of connected zones — a dining deck off the kitchen, a lower patio with a fire feature, a pergola over a seating area. Grade and mature trees drive where each piece can go.
