I can find very sparse information on patio deck combinations. I'd
like to see pictures that don't have a pool. I have a patio and
thought about building a deck next to it with steps from the patio to
deck. Is this something people do or have I come up with some crazy
design? thanks.

I don't have any pictures. I have seen the combo on several homes I have
worked in over the years. In most cases the exit from the home was to the
deck and then down to a patio.

What are your reservations or questions?

I didn't want to build something crazy. That's all.

Build what you want. I have a flagstone pool deck and patio but I
still have a raised deck under the covered areas.
Both have a place.

What is the purpose of the deck? Why not extend the patio?

I don't understand why people build decks on ground level if they can have a
patio that does not require the maintenance that a deck entails, does not
make for places where rodents can hide, etc. If you have a steep drop off,
that would make some sense. If it is just to have a deck, it is silly, IMO.
