"I had such a pleasant experience with Paul Daniels and the crew. They were respectful to my family and my property. My deck was built exactly how I asked and they worked from sun up until it was complete. Tim is very knowledgeable and efficient. He even went out of his way to make sure my plants were safe during the whole process. I will definitely use Daniels and Daniels for my next project?"

"After interviewing several companies, I knew Isaac Branham was who I was going to hire. He did a walk around with me and I could tell he knew his plants, how to take care of them and he emphasized his employees were also knowledgeable of landscape maintenance. Some of the other people I interviewed seemed to mainly mow lawns, but were not as knowledgeable at plant maintenance. Isaac's crew has been to my home to perform the maintenance and their work was excellent. They even fluffed my mulch, which made it look like it had just been laid. I strongly recommend considering Branham Yard Outfitters for your landscape maintenance needs."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Yes, deck pier blocks can be used as an alternative to traditional deck footings, especially for smaller or low-to-the-ground decks. Unlike poured concrete and buried post footings, deck blocks do not require digging or pouring. However, their use is dependent on local building codes. Some areas, particularly those prone to high winds, earthquakes, or hurricanes, may not permit the use of deck pier blocks. It is essential to consult your local building codes before choosing them for your deck project.

Spindles on a deck may also be called balusters or pickets. While not as important to the structural support of the deck as the rail posts, they play a critical role in ensuring the deck is safe to use by closing in large gaps in the railing. For this reason, balusters must be no more than 4 inches away from one another.

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.

Deck stairs should have at least three stringers rather than two. The recommended minimum width for stairs is 36 inches, and the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors recommends at least three cut stringers to provide sufficient support on wood decking stairs of this width. Generally, stringers should be a maximum of 16 inches apart for wood decking and 12 inches apart for more flexible composite decking.

A wood deck requires annual cleaning and regular inspections for loose or broken boards, nails, and screws. It should be refinished by applying a stain or sealer every two to three years to protect the wood from water damage, rot, mildew, and sun fading. The exact frequency can depend on the climate and the deck's exposure to sun and moisture. If your deck is painted, it will need repainting approximately every 10 years. Signs that your deck needs refinishing include faded, splintering, or warping boards.
