Lots in Upper Arlington are mature and often tightly spaced, so a deck here has to fit within real limits. The city's zoning rules on setbacks and lot coverage can affect how large a deck can be and how close it sits to the property line. Behind 1920s Tudors and colonials, homeowners often want a deck that suits the architecture, while mid-century ranches and two-stories usually need a replacement for an older deck. New homes built on teardown lots tend to get larger decks designed with the house.
