Plan your project
Gladwyne · Multi-Level Decks

Different levels. One connected space.

A multi-level deck can separate dining from lounging while creating a comfortable route from the house to the yard. Elevation changes need careful planning for stairs, landings, guards, and access.

Planning your Gladwyne project

Gladwyne is in Lower Merion Township. Its residential expansion guidance makes the relationship between a proposed structure, setbacks, and existing site coverage a useful starting point.

We start with the existing grades and door heights, then compare layouts in 3D. The design should explain where each activity happens and how people move between levels.

Bring these questions to your consultation

  • Which level should connect to the kitchen?
  • How will stairs and landings fit the yard?
  • Can the structure allow access below?

Photos of your existing space, approximate dimensions, and any available survey are useful for the first conversation. The team will review access, existing conditions, and your goals before establishing a detailed scope.

Planning in Gladwyne

Multi-Level Decks: the local starting point

Show existing patios, paths, and structures alongside the new footprint to support the Lower Merion coverage discussion. Record door heights and proposed landings so stairs and gathering areas connect comfortably between levels.

What to bring to the consultation

Bring a survey showing existing buildings, paved areas, and outdoor structures so the proposed changes can be considered together.

Official local planning resources

Lower Merion provides residential expansion and zoning resources for property-specific review. Check the proposed design against the parcel rather than applying a single neighborhood-wide allowance.

Local resources reviewed October 16, 2026. Confirm current requirements for your parcel and final design with the municipality.

Check the selected product’s guidance

For a specified Deckorators system, review Deckorators installation instructions and Deckorators care and cleaning. For an Eva-Last alternative, use Eva-Last installation resources and Eva-Last cleaning and care. Confirm the exact product and intended application before applying any guidance. Ask us how the written project and warranty commitments apply to your proposal.

Your project, clearly planned.

When is a multi-level deck useful?

Multiple levels can organize different activities or connect the house to a changing yard elevation. The benefit depends on the footprint available for stairs, landings, and comfortable circulation between spaces.

What affects the cost of multi-level decks in Gladwyne?

The site conditions, size, height, materials, access, and details of the design determine the scope. A consultation and site review are needed before RC Deck Co can provide project-specific pricing.

How do I start a multi-level decks project in Gladwyne?

Call (610) 246-0546 or prepare an estimate request with your address, goals, and photos. The first conversation covers the site and your priorities; the design and written scope follow from that review.

What local approvals should I plan for?

Lower Merion provides residential expansion and zoning resources for property-specific review. Check the proposed design against the parcel rather than applying a single neighborhood-wide allowance. Requirements must be confirmed for the actual parcel and final design.

RC deck Co did an amazing job tearing out my old deck and replacing it. Easy process, very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. Would highly recommend them for any deck, pergola, awning, etc work!
