Deck Decisions – Step 1

This time last year, we knew we were going to start building a small, ground-level, deck once the ground thawed. Also this time last year, I built the deck about 100 times in my head. I don’t know about everyone else’s processes, but before starting a big project, I tend to do it many times…

Deck Preparations

Recently, we tested the soil and found it suitable for leveling the yard. We spread piles of soil, resulting in a more even ground, and removed an irrigation line for deck construction. Plans are underway for a 13′ x 16′ deck, complemented by a gazebo and flower beds, aiming for completion before summer heat.
