Custom Decks Designed for the Way You Live
Outdoor Living That Elevates Everyday Life
Your backyard should be more than an afterthought- it should be a natural extension of your home. At Walden Design, we craft custom decks that enhance both function and beauty. Whether you’re dreaming of early morning coffee on the porch or entertaining under the stars, we bring your vision to life with expert design and craftsmanship.
Based in Rockford, we build decks throughout the greater Grand Rapids area – including Ada, Cascade, and beyond. Each project starts with your lifestyle in mind and ends with a space you’ll love for years to come.
We don’t do prefab kits or one-size-fits-all builds. Every deck we create is custom – tailored to your property, your taste, and your outdoor routines.
Decks Designed to Live With You
A Space That Feels Like Home – Just Outside
A custom deck isn’t just about square footage. It’s about creating a purposeful place where life happens – meals are shared, kids play, and conversations unfold with the seasons.
We design decks that reflect how you actually use your outdoor space. That means seamless transitions from inside to out, strategic placement for privacy and sun, and materials chosen to match your home’s style.
Whether you prefer the warmth of natural wood or the durability of composite, we’ll help you select finishes that blend beauty, comfort, and longevity.
Why Homeowners Choose Walden Design
The Right Partner for Your Outdoor Investment
Your deck should look great, feel solid underfoot, and last for decades. That’s why we build with precision, premium materials, and clear communication every step of the way.
We listen closely to your goals and walk you through every decision, from railing styles to board orientation. With Walden, you’re never left guessing. Our designs are backed by 3D renderings so you can visualize the final result before construction even begins.
Clients appreciate that we’re not just installers – we’re craftspeople and collaborators. You’ll work directly with our owner and experienced team, not a rotating crew of subcontractors.
