There was never any confusion about our project and they paid attention to every detail from when they started on the estimate to completing the job.

"Because Turf Doctors had expanded to ponds, we thought we would try them and have our current pond redone. They did a fantastic job hauling in tons of boulders, installing a waterfall and skimmer system, new pond plants and just rebuilding a pond that we can enjoy.  The water is clear so we can enjoy watching our fish and the sound from the waterfall is relaxing and soothing after a long day.  We love it and Andy goes beyond what we expected and stops monthly to make sure the water is clear and there are no problems.  I would recommend him to anyone who needs a pond experience or a good yard company. I would give them an A+ for the work, clean-up and follow through of their services."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Whether you need a permit depends on the deck design and local regulations. Most areas mandate a building permit if the deck is over a specific height or if it's attached to a pre-existing structure. Shorter, freestanding decks may not require a permit, but you should check with local zoning ordinances and your homeowners association for specifics.

No, it isn’t necessary to skirt a deck, but investing in the cost to install deck skirting can bring more value to your home. Not only does deck skirting make the deck look more complete, but it can also turn otherwise unused space beneath the deck into useful storage space.

Pressure-treated wood contains preservatives that give the material internal protection from rot and pests. Untreated lumber won’t last more than a few years unless you choose a more expensive wood, like cedar, that naturally stands up well to moisture. Composite decking can outlast wood but is more expensive and doesn’t look as natural. Keep in mind that you’ll need to seal any exterior wood product to protect it from the elements and other forms of external damage.

To flatten a cupped deck board, start by ensuring it’s dry. Then, try flipping the board over so the cupped side faces down and reattach it. If that’s not possible, you can use screws to pull it tighter to the joists or plane the edges slightly to reduce the cup. It’s best to replace severely cupped boards.

Many people say the best composite decking is Trex, TimberTech, or Fiberon. These brands have formulated composite deck boards to withstand the elements and hold up over time. Each offers a range of product lines varying in durability, price, and appearance. Compare their different composite decking offers for cost, looks, and features before deciding on a product.
