In Garth We Trust is the sixth episode of the third season of Mega Decks. The show follows Colorado-based deck designer and builder, Garth Hystad, as he creates extravagant outdoor spaces for his clients.
In this episode, Garth is tasked with designing a deck for a family who wants a space to entertain their friends and family. The family has a beautiful backyard with stunning views of the Rocky Mountains, but their current deck is outdated and not functional.
Garth begins the design process by sitting down with the family and discussing their needs and wants. The family wants a deck with plenty of seating for their guests, a dining area, a grilling station, and space for a hot tub. Garth takes these ideas and incorporates them into his design.
One of the biggest challenges Garth faces in this design is the slope of the backyard. He must create a deck that is level and safe despite the steep incline. To do this, Garth designs multiple levels that step down with the slope of the yard. The levels create distinct spaces for seating, dining, and the hot tub.
Garth also uses unique materials in this design, including a combination of stone and wood. The stone creates a beautiful natural feel to the deck, while the wood adds warmth and texture. Additionally, Garth incorporates built-in planter boxes throughout the deck to add a pop of color and a touch of nature.
As with all of Garth's designs, there are several custom features included in this deck. One such feature is a large, freestanding pergola that covers the dining area. The pergola is designed to allow sunlight in while also offering shade and protection from the elements.
Another custom feature of this deck is the built-in fire pit. The fire pit is a central gathering place for guests and adds warmth and ambiance to the space. It is also designed to be easily converted into a table when not in use.
In addition to the deck design, Garth also takes on the task of landscaping the backyard. He adds several native plants and grasses that complement the natural surroundings and tie in with the design of the deck.
Throughout the episode, viewers get to see Garth and his team bring the design to life. From the initial demolition of the old deck to the final touches of the landscaping, viewers get an inside look at how the deck is built and what goes into creating a custom outdoor space.
In the end, Garth delivers a stunning deck that exceeds the family's expectations. The multiple levels create distinct spaces for entertaining and relaxing, while the unique materials and custom features add a touch of luxury. The deck is not only beautiful but also functional and safe, making it the perfect space for the family to enjoy for years to come.
