"I was happy from the minute I posted it on Angi and he was the quickest and first to respond. He came the next day looked at the job gave us a price the next day. We agreed on price and he put us on his schedule 2 weeks later. They showed up day one and worked hard in the heat, dirt, and we hardly heard a word out of them. I expected the job to take 2 weeks or more however in 4 days they were done. They did everything I asked of them and the work was great. Roland showed up with his daughter and crew they were all nice polite and I would definitely hire them again"

"They did a thorough job of removing 60+ years of accumulated stuff on my dad's rural property, plus replacing an old culvert over a stream. We had a few unanticipated extras for them to do, but the final bill came in exactly as quoted. Robert is very detail oriented, polite, and responsible. I highly recommend West Branch Dirt Works."

"He gave me a quote and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was clear about to procedure and what he needed to do. It was nice and clean after the service, I didn't have to do any touch ups or clean ups. I was so happy with the results, I hired him to complete resurface my driveway."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The best way to sand a deck is by cleaning it, sanding the boards and stairs with 60- or 80-grit sandpaper, and sanding the railings and posts with 80-grit sandpaper. You should sand in the direction of the wood grain to avoid damaging the timber. When sanding your deck, use medium pressure and aim for an even sand. Pressing too hard with a sander can damage decks, as most are softwoods.

Choices include wood, composite, and hardwoods, each with unique benefits.

Local building codes don’t specify the number of steps a deck can have before a railing is required, mainly because stair height varies widely. Most areas require decks 30 inches or higher to have a railing. While not exact, that roughly equates to four to seven steps.

Footings for ground-level decks need to be at least 12 inches deep, and some areas require them to be even deeper. A standard range for deck footings is anywhere from 12 to 48 inches. The minimum footing depth is determined by an area’s frost line and soil conditions. If you’re unsure how deep to install deck footings, check local building codes to find the minimum footing depth in your area. 

Trex states that its Trex decking is an eco-friendly composite material made of 95% recycled or reclaimed materials (including plastic and wood), making it a sustainable brand of choice. According to the company, Trex is one of the largest plastic bag recyclers in the U.S., with each 500-square-foot Trex deck containing about 140,000 recycled plastic bags.
