"I looked out from my back porch on a Friday and the entire back of our yard looked like a skating rink -- and we were due to leave for 3 months on Sunday (in 2 days time). I absolutely panicked as we had non-refundable tickets. I "Googled" sprinkler repair people and called the only one listed in our area -- no reply, left message, no one EVER returned the call. I contacted HomeAdvisor on-line, typed in the problem and Scott's Landscaping guy called me an hour later and came 30 minutes after that -- 2 guys and were they great! They located the main sprinkler on/off valves (there were 2 valves that the previous "sprinkler" guy had left ON, turned it off -- which stopped the leak after they located where it was coming from. It was 8 degrees that day, but they managed to dig down and repair the pipe. They will come back in the spring to see if they can get my sprinkler system going again as it hasn't been used in about 6 years! They were great and very, very reasonable. I will use them again, definitely."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The choice between Trex, a brand of composite decking, and PVC decking depends on your priorities regarding budget, appearance, and environmental impact. Both materials are durable and resistant to moisture and insects. Trex is often considered more eco-friendly because it contains recycled wood and plastic and is 25% recyclable, while PVC is fully synthetic and harder to recycle. Aesthetically, Trex is designed to look more like real wood, whereas PVC often has a glossier, more plastic-like finish. In terms of cost, Trex is typically less expensive than PVC.

The best paver for your pool deck depends on your budget, style, and how much maintenance you’re willing to invest. Granite is one of the best low-cost pavers for pool decks. It’s very slip-resistant and durable, too, making it a top pick. Travertine is a high-quality material that resists freeze-thaw cycles, looks stunning, and won’t get hot in the summer. The only downside to travertine is that it costs more than granite.

Whether composite decking is better than wood depends on your priorities, especially regarding budget and maintenance. Composite decking offers superior longevity (30 to 50 years) and durability, and it is low-maintenance, requiring no sanding, staining, or sealing. In contrast, wood decks typically last 10 to 30 years and need refinishing every few years. While the upfront cost of composite is higher than wood, the reduced maintenance can lead to long-term savings. If a lower initial cost is the primary factor, wood is the more affordable choice.

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

The cost to build a second-story deck averages $4,800, though the actual price could range as low as $420 to upwards of $16,000. While labor costs range between 35% and 50% of the total project cost, the materials and complexity of design will ultimately lead you to save or spend more money on this home addition.
