"Not very well. The cost and budget for the project was agreed upon prior to the hiring Ideal. There was not enough time was alloted for the project.. I had to be out there the entire time; if not it would have been worst. 1) All areas to be Weed Whacked were not done. A Banana Tree and Hibiscus shrub were lost during the whacking. 2) The tree limbs on one tree were cut back farther than requested creating/ leaving excess logs, tree limbs and debris at my home which defeats the purpose of cleaning my yard. The tree on the side of the house with the limb hovering over the roof , .the main limb that we discussed and agreed would be removed was not.. I had to move some of the smaller limbs cut from the side of the house. The issue that I have is the contractor created more debris by not following my instruction/ wishes. Although he hauled away some of the logs and debris, I now have allot of debris that I now have to pay someone to haul off my property. If the project had been done as I asked. The debris could have been cut up and taken away by the county. The Pieces left behind were not cut up small enough to do so. I expressed my concerns, Ideal was to come back the following day with a bigger truck to remove the debris for $100. This was a week ago. I don't feel that I should pay to remove debris that would be non-exsistent if he had followed my wishes. They bagged yard waste in black plastic bags that coukd have been put in the paper bags and hauled away by the county. They were planning to leave my home with piles of yard waste left throughout the yard."

Deck Cleaning questions, answered by experts

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Most building codes require that railing spindles (also known as balusters) on decks or stairs be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard is often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' which means a sphere with a 4-inch diameter should not be able to pass through the opening between balusters. This rule is in place to prevent small children and pets from slipping through the railing. For the same reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck or floor surface should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is essential to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

No. In most cases, it’s not colder or freezing temperatures that affect decking materials but the amount of moisture that seeps into the materials as a result. For example, wood decking material is more likely to suffer from rot or decay when exposed to excess moisture from snow or ice. An extreme change in temperature can cause wood to expand or contract, but only if it’s not properly treated beforehand.

Deck skirting shouldn’t touch the ground, especially if you have a wood deck, which is vulnerable to moisture. Ideally, you should leave at least 3/4 of an inch of space between the deck skirting and the ground for more ventilation. Pros also recommend that you incorporate about 1 square foot of space for ventilation for the underside of the deck to every 150 square feet of decking. Proper ventilation prevents mold growth and rot that can damage your deck.

You can use a few different tactics to prevent your deck gate from sagging. Aside from using strong, rot-resistant woods, introducing a diagonal element—such as a tension rod or solid piece of wood to act as a brace—across the gate will offer better support. You can also use rigid joists to prevent the gate from sagging.
