The deck (400 sf) actually occupies less than 1/5 of my back yard (2250 sf). The view of the picture may not be that real.
Even on a patio, I am still looking into other people's house. This is one drawback that the developer intended to have, which I did not like. They intentionally lowered the middle property line. Unfortunately, there is a limit on the max. height of the fence according to city by-law.
Further, I have an 8-step drop from the house to the yard ground. A patio with a lonely stair would not look very well. That is why I designed a two-tier deck. The steps are divided to 2-2-3.
