"In an older Cedar Park neighborhood, the first question is what's already back there. Plenty of these houses came with a small slab or a builder deck that's past its prime. Sometimes we can keep the slab and put a roof over it. Sometimes the old deck has to go. With kids and dogs on it every day, I lean toward capped composite that won't splinter."

Learn moreCedar Park permits are issued by the City of Cedar Park through MGO Connect under the 2021 I-Codes with local amendments. Decks 30 inches or more above grade, over 200 sq ft, attached to the house, or serving an exit door need a permit, as do patio covers. We handle the submittal and inspections.
Most Cedar Park subdivisions, including Buttercup Creek, Twin Creeks and Ranch at Brushy Creek, have HOAs with an architectural review step. Committees generally want to see a site plan, materials, colors and the distance to property lines. Some older sections have lighter rules than newer ones. We pull your HOA's current guidelines, build the submission, and wait for approval before we file with the city.
Cedar Park sits on the eastern edge of the Hill Country, and most lots have limestone close to the surface under a thin layer of rocky clay. Footings often go into rock, which is stable once reached but slow to drill. Low spots and creek-side lots can hold deeper clay pockets that move with moisture. We probe before we design so the footing plan fits the lot.
The challenge: Cedar Park requires a permit when a deck is 30 inches or more above grade, over 200 sq ft, attached to the house, or serves an exit door. Patio covers and arbors need permits too. Most backyard decks cross at least one of those lines.
How we handle it: We tell you at the design stage which trigger your project hits, register with the city as a contractor, and file through MGO Connect under the 2021 I-Codes with local amendments.
The challenge: Many Cedar Park homes came with a small builder slab or a treated pine deck that is now decades old, often with loose railings and a ledger board that was never flashed.
How we handle it: We inspect what is there and tell you plainly whether it can stay. Covering a sound slab often costs less than tearing it out, and a deck with good framing may only need new boards and code-height railings.
The challenge: Backyards that border a greenbelt or creek often drop away from the house, so a deck off the back door ends up well above grade.
How we handle it: A tall deck needs heavier posts, bracing, and code-compliant railings and stairs. On a steep drop we often split it into two levels so the upper deck stays closer to the ground and the stairs stay comfortable.
"With three kids under 10, we needed a deck that could handle anything. The All Seasons crew built us a two-level composite deck with a covered area for rainy days. Two years later, it's survived countless birthday parties, a pandemic of home time, and our golden retriever - and it still looks new. Best investment we've made in our home."
