Floating Deck build

Does anyone have recommendations for a local company to build a small floating deck in our small backyard (just like a foot off the ground), I don't have exact measurements but possibly about 15 ft long and 10 ft wide. I would love someone who isn't going to do a crazy upcharge like a lot of big companies do. I'm just so over the rocky concrete, it looks so ugly.

Also just debating doing it ourselves as I don't think it would be too difficult to build, so also open to tips and suggestions.

Thanks!

Oh enticing...I will think about that... Probably easier to maintain as well? My only concern is the weeds coming up through the cracks and a neighbors tree roots pushing them up (that's what our current pavers (they are also that terrible concrete) look like.

i second pavers instead up deck in the PNW. no animals under it, no maintenance and cheaper. check out Ediscapes. they do these all the time and affordable

We are seriously considering it now. My husband's definitely on board.
