A Space That Works for You
Every backyard has potential — the key is designing it to serve your lifestyle, not just look good in photos. At Wood Outdoor Living, we focus on creating outdoor environments that truly function for your day-to-day. That might mean flattening a slope to make room for a play area, building a tiered deck that connects to your patio, or designing walkways that flow naturally between spaces. We consider access, drainage, privacy, and usability from the very beginning. The result is a backyard that’s not only beautiful, but thoughtfully arranged so you can enjoy it fully — from crisp mornings to evening get-togethers.
As a trusted North Idaho deck builder, we proudly serve Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, Rathdrum, and surrounding areas—bringing high-quality decks and outdoor spaces to homeowners across the region.
One Contractor. One Cohesive Space.
When you work with multiple contractors for different parts of your yard — one for the patio, another for the deck, a third for lighting — the result can feel disjointed. At Wood Outdoor Living, we handle every element of your backyard renovation under one roof. From the initial design to the final installation, we oversee the entire process to ensure every component — decking, hardscaping, lighting, landscaping, drainage, and more — works together seamlessly. No gaps, no miscommunication, no mismatched finishes. Just one experienced team, one clear vision, and one cohesive outdoor space built for how you live. We simplify the process so you can focus on enjoying the results.

We create multi-functional spaces that work for entertaining, relaxing, and everyday living.

Can you renovate a sloped backyard to make it more usable?
Definitely. Sloped backyards are common across North Idaho and we know exactly how to make them usable. As a full-service outdoor living contractor, we’ve helped many homeowners turn sloped, unusable yards into functional, beautiful spaces with retaining walls, level pads, tiered decks, and strategic grading. Whether you need access from an RV pad or want to create flat areas for entertaining, kids, or a hot tub, we design with purpose and build with durability. Our goal is to help you reclaim your outdoor space for real-life use—safely and beautifully.
Do you offer 3D designs for backyard makeovers in Kootenai County?
Yes—we’re a design-build company, and every backyard renovation starts with a custom 2D or 3D design. Whether you’re in Rathdrum, Hayden, or anywhere in Kootenai County, our design process lets you visualize the layout, flow, and materials before construction begins. This process helps you make confident decisions and ensures your backyard renovation fits your lifestyle, goals, and property. With Wood Outdoor Living, design is never an afterthought—it’s the foundation of every project we build. Reach out so we can start designing your backyard!
Can I phase out my backyard renovation over time?
Absolutely. Some homeowners in North Idaho choose to complete their backyard renovation in phases. Whether you start with a composite deck or patio and plan to add lighting, a fire feature, or an outdoor kitchen later, we design with the full vision in mind. Our 3D designs allow for future expansion, and we’ll help you prioritize your needs while staying on budget. It's great for managing timing and finances while still working toward your dream outdoor space. And because we handle everything in-house, future phases will match seamlessly with your initial build.
