Transform Your Backyard Into Your Personal Paradise
Your backyard is meant to be enjoyed. At Artisan Deck & Outdoor Living, we create comprehensive outdoor living solutions that bring comfort, style, and lasting value to homes in Madison and surrounding communities like Verona, Middleton, Fitchburg, Waunakee, and beyond.
We're proudly known for our nationally award-winning outdoor structures, innovative designs, and fully integrated approach that sets us apart from other builders in the area. Whether you're envisioning a cozy backyard retreat or an impressive outdoor entertainment destination, we're here to transform your vision into reality with elevated design, exceptional craftsmanship, and seamless functionality.
Our Complete Outdoor Living Solutions
We specialize in creating cohesive outdoor environments that work together beautifully, combining multiple elements to maximize your enjoyment year-round.
Award-Winning Custom Deck Designs
Every outdoor living transformation starts with the foundation—your custom deck. Our award-winning deck designs serve as the centerpiece of your outdoor space, engineered for durability and crafted for beauty.
We create decks that complement your home's architecture while maximizing your property's potential. Using premium composite materials from Trex®, TimberTech®, and Deckorators®, we deliver the natural beauty of wood without the maintenance headaches.
Pergolas & Louvered Roofs
Take control of your outdoor climate with our stunning pergolas and innovative louvered roof systems. These architectural elements provide the perfect balance of shade and sunlight, allowing you to expand the enjoyment of your space.
Our louvered roofs feature adjustable slats that give you complete control over light and airflow. Close them for complete weather protection or open them to enjoy the warmth of the sun—the choice is always yours.
Custom Porches for Ultimate Comfort
Our custom porches enhance your home’s beauty, comfort, and outdoor enjoyment. Whether it’s a front porch that boosts curb appeal, a screened-in space for breezy, bug-free relaxation, or an enclosed porch for extended seasonal use — we create spaces that suit your lifestyle. Every project is built with quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
Outdoor Kitchens
Design your dream outdoor kitchen by dropping a Napoleon built-in grill head and side burner into a custom frame. Add doors, drawers, and your choice of stone, masonry, or other exterior finishes — or keep it simple with Napoleon’s Oasis Modular Island system for a sleek, ready-to-go setup.
Complete Outdoor Living Integration
We don't stop at the basics. Our comprehensive approach includes outdoor kitchens, built-in seating, planters, lighting systems, and furniture selection that ties your entire space together seamlessly.
Every element we add is carefully chosen to enhance both the functionality and visual appeal of your outdoor living area, creating a cohesive environment that feels like a natural extension of your home.
Our Process: Your Dream Space from Concept to Completion
We make the outdoor living transformation process straightforward and enjoyable, guiding you through each phase with creativity, transparency, and enthusiasm.
1. Consultation & Vision Development – Where Dreams Take Shape
We begin with a comprehensive, no-obligation consultation to understand your lifestyle, explore your space's potential, and discuss your design preferences. From contemporary minimalism to traditional warmth, we want to capture exactly what you're imagining.
After exploring your ideas, preferences, and budget parameters, we'll provide you with a detailed project overview and preliminary estimate. This initial assessment gives you clear insights into the investment required and helps you make confident decisions as we move forward.
2. Integrated Design Process – Our Signature Advantage
Unlike many builders who outsource their design work, we handle everything in-house—ensuring ease of communication and designs tailored to your home, lifestyle, and outdoor goals.
Our experienced design team collaborates closely with you to create layouts that maximize both beauty and functionality across all elements of your outdoor space. Through detailed plans and immersive 3D renderings, you'll experience your new outdoor living area before construction even begins.
To launch this collaborative design journey, we require a design agreement deposit—a modest investment that ensures your vision receives the dedicated time, creativity, and attention to detail it deserves from day one.
3. Construction Excellence – Professional, Precise, Built to Last
When construction begins, our skilled crews manage every aspect with meticulous care. We handle all permit requirements and material coordination, from initial site preparation through final cleanup and walkthrough.
With our streamlined processes, respectful work crews, and commitment to superior craftsmanship, we ensure your new outdoor living space is ready for years of effortless enjoyment.
