"Brindley was incredible! I'm not sure I have ever seen anyone as industrious and thorough. He stayed true to his estimate. He prepped the deck, replaced the weather damaged planks and spindles. Everything was done in a timely manner. I could not be more pleased. Photos available."

"We are extremely please with Nagas Landscape and Design.  I found them through Angie's list and another person's review.  From the beginning Jason listened to what we needed and discussed options, especially in regard to the drainage into our crawlspace.  Last year we had mold work done in the crawlspace.  When the house was built a 5% grade was not put on the east side of our house.  Jason explained that a 5% grade would not really be helpful since we live on the downside of the house next to us (the whole street is pretty much on a decline down).  He suggested a digging a swell with river rock to catch most of the water.  He made it look quite nice.  He also put in a 3-4 ft flower bed, which I've wanted since we moved in 10 years ago, and planted the flowers we bought, plus mulched the flower beds, new and existing.  He took out a dead butterfly bush (cold winter and cut back too far killed it).  The deck had several places that needed repaired, all of it needed cleaned and stained. This took a little longer than expected as it hadn't been treated in a while, but not unduly so.  Also, the house siding needed power washed and Jason's crew also did this.  They were courteous the whole time,  We appreciated Jason taking the time to discuss what was happening and when they would be here.  He kept us informed of delays do to weather.  The whole experience was a pleasant one and we definitely would hire them again and recommend Nagas Landscape and Design.
Thank you, Jason and crew!

"Brandon and his crew were great. They did the work quickly, they rolled with several changes that I requested, their prices were fair, and they never exceeded the estimate. They took good care of our artwork and furniture. They moved things as needed (I didn't have to do that in advance), and everything is in good shape.
The house looks wonderful. We are putting it on the market, and we are delighted with the improvement that First Choice provided. We recommend them highly!

"The guy who built the deck did a really good job. He was very thorough and picked up good materials. He took a little bit longer than he said he was going to take, but I really didn?t mind that once I saw the work he was doing. He takes his time and does a good job. So it was worth waiting. We had to buy the lighting and he installed it for us. There was a day when he didn?t show up and we were wondering where he went. He then showed up the next day and told us what had happened. He spent the whole day from morning till night working here. That only happened once or twice. If need be, then I would hire him back."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

What goes under your floating deck depends on your preferences. Some homeowners put landscaping fabric underneath their decks to prevent weeds from popping up through the boards. Others choose to build a floating deck over grass or gravel. However, it’s best not to set your deck directly on the ground. Instead, set your deck on blocks to keep it elevated enough to prevent moisture from rotting the wood.

The cost to build a deck around a pool typically ranges from $3,000 to $12,000, depending on the size, material, and whether you tackle the build yourself. Most people pay an average of $5,000 for their pool deck project. Hiring a pro to build a pool will cost you more for labor, but it will be worth it to ensure a safe and secure installation.

Yes, snow should be removed from a deck to protect it from damage caused by moisture and heavy loads. Shovel the snow off of your deck regularly once it is more than four inches deep. Avoid using salt, which can damage your deck.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

The best material for your deck depends on several factors, including your budget, location, aesthetic preferences, and the level of maintenance you’re willing to do. Wood decking, like redwood, ipe, cedar, and pine, lasts the longest, but it’s more expensive and requires more upkeep than composite and synthetic decking.
