Cut out in the deck - HI there, the cut out in the deck around the tree is so effective. Can this be easily done after the fact without compromising the quality of the edges or must it be done at the time of building the deck? Its so lovely to see something fabulous from someone local! I love all the zones you've created in this yard.

Hi Kellie, thanks for your kind words, this deck was built around the existing tree with the edges being cut once the boards were laid. You could do the same if you were to brace the edges of your cut. There would need to be a frame underneath to support the decking. If you wanted to do this with an existing deck you'd want to pull up the decking boards where you want to put the garden so you can install the sub frame. Hope this helps.

A new yoga and music studio extends into the backyard (Emma also teaches yoga). The studio’s doors slide completely into its walls — in case impromptu backyard concerts take place. “I originally toyed with removing the tree,” says Taylor, but the homeowners insisted that the mature ash tree stay. He built the yellow stringybark deck around the tree. The off-center ring breaks up the space and provides a focal point. A pizza oven and an outdoor dining area sit in one of the deck’s corners. “Espaliered lemons and limes also enhance the food preparation space,” says Taylor. “The challenge was to not make the space feel cluttered.” He kept the deck’s central area pretty clear and located the activity features around its perimeter. “All elements relate — which I think helps give it that sense of soul,” says Emma.How to get a pizza oven for your patio

3. Tree-hugging deck. Custom fitting a deck around a tree is a wonderful way to integrate the deck farther into the yard. Consult an arborist before beginning work to be sure you allow enough room for the tree’s mature size.
