"Project- remove leaves and pine needles from two houses, barn and shed. Charles Wilson ( and helper) were very thorough in completing the job. Cleanup was excellent. He was pleasant to work with, his fee was reasonable, and he completed the job one day after committing to do the job. I would not hesitate to have him work for me again."

"Edward lawn service has helped me for many years. I don’t have to call this company because they keep a schedule of when they need to come back to cut your grass and etc. I would do it myself but it’s so much more convenient for me when they’re always on time. I trust this company so much until I don’t have to be around at my house when they have to come take care of my yard work. Edward lawn prices are unbeatable. So, if you need any landscaping, yard work, tree services and etc, Edward Lawn Service will be the right company to call. I would rate this service at high (5) star."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When building a deck, #2 grade lumber is a go-to for several reasons. It’s strong, budget-friendly, and works well for most framing and decking needs. But upgrading to #1 or Appearance Grade can give your deck that extra visual edge if you're after a cleaner, more polished look for high-visibility spots.

A deck doesn’t have to be perfectly level. Many pros even recommend a gentle slope to ensure proper drainage and increase longevity. The ideal gentle slope is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch per foot away from the property, leading water away from the home to prevent pooling and reduce the risk of damage. It also minimizes rot, mold, and other moisture-related problems. 

There are several methods for attaching stair stringers to a deck. The best way is to bolt the stringers to the deck joists using three carriage bolts in a triangular pattern. This method offers the sturdiest fit for stairs that won’t budge. Alternatively, attach the stringers to the deck rims using lag bolts or to the posts using adjustable slope hangers.

Before installing any materials under the deck for removing moisture, you should perform some prep work on the ground. Work the dirt under the deck to create a grade away from the home. A grade of at least six inches for every 10 feet works well. Do not leave a gap between the dirt and the home’s foundation where water could pool. Once you or a contractor regrades the dirt under the deck, you then can add materials over the top.

While you can use various materials like sand or even just soil, gravel is widely considered the best option to put under a deck. It provides excellent drainage and is resistant to water, fire, and pests. Gravel also helps anchor the soil to prevent erosion during heavy rain and acts as a built-in weed blocker, reducing regular upkeep. Furthermore, it is simple to spread, available in various textures and tones, and adds a polished look that complements any deck design.
