Typical Price Ranges
These are broad ranges we typically see on common projects. Your price will vary with size, site and finish:
- 12×16 ft pressure-treated wood deck: about $5,000 to $8,000
- Composite deck of similar size: about $8,000 to $15,000
- Paver or stamped concrete patio: about $10 to $25 per square foot
Covered porches, screened rooms and outdoor kitchens are priced individually because roofing, electrical and appliances vary so much.
What Moves the Number
- Height and stairs: a deck several feet off the ground needs more framing, bracing and railing.
- Materials: composite, natural stone and premium railings cost more up front but reduce upkeep.
- Site preparation: clearing, grading and drainage can be a large share of a patio budget.
- Features: lighting, fire pits, pergolas and kitchens each add their own costs.
Our Site Assessment
Before we design, we study three things:
Water
Yazoo City sees heavy rain, and flat ground near the Delta’s edge can hold water. We check where runoff goes and plan grading or drains to keep the new space dry.
Sun and shade
We note where the afternoon sun lands so seating and cooking areas get shade when you need it most.
Structure
If the project attaches to the house, we inspect the framing, siding and roofline it will tie into.
Getting an Itemized Estimate
After the visit, you receive a written proposal that breaks down materials, labor and any site work. That makes it easy to adjust scope, such as switching from composite to wood or postponing a pergola, and see the effect on cost.

Common Questions
What is the most affordable way to add outdoor living space?
A ground-level treated wood deck or a broom-finished concrete patio usually costs the least per square foot. You can add shade, lighting or a fire pit later.
Do decks and patios need a permit in Yazoo City?
Many do, especially decks attached to the house, raised structures and anything with electrical or plumbing. We confirm requirements with the local building office and handle the paperwork.
How long does a typical deck take?
Most custom decks take a few weeks from start to finish, while screened porches and outdoor kitchens take longer. We give you a written timeline with your proposal.
Do you offer financing?
Ask us about current payment options when you request your estimate, and we will explain what is available for your project.
