"Erick and his crew did an excellent job grading and installing sod in our backyard. They worked efficiently and cleaned up the yard, driveway and street before leaving. We highly recommend them. Many thanks!"

"Active Home Savers did an amazing job on my lawn. They took care of everythingâ mowing, maintenance, weed whacking, edging, and cleanup. The mowing was perfect, with even cuts that made my lawn look great. They were thorough with maintenance, ensuring my grass stayed healthy. The weed whacking and edging were done with precision, leaving clean lines around my garden beds and walkways. Cleanup was spotless, and the crew was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with their work and highly recommend them for reliable lawn care."

"I had a wooden deck that hadnâ  t been cleaned for over three years. It was actually black in areas that had not been exposed to the sun. The result is amazing. It almost looks like a new deck. I was very pleasantly surprised to see that that the brick approaches to the deck and the cement sidewalk was also power washed. Everything looks wonderful. I am so happy with the results. I highly recommend this company."

"I will always use this company. My deck needed a good wash-trees & mud/dirt with no grass is a terrible combo. Lath called the day I put the call out. He came 2 days later. He was very punctual and got it done quickly---including the back siding of my condo. He was respectful, efficient, and friendly. His prices are very reasonable. I had a job that needed to be done quickly. Lath came through for me."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

The proper height for a stair riser or deck step is between four and seven inches, with seven inches often considered the most comfortable. Building your stairs to this height ensures a strain-free step position and minimizes the risk of trip and fall injuries. For optimal safety and comfort, especially on deck stairs, a rise of around seven inches should be paired with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. While it is possible to design stairs with risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. Always check with your local building codes, as they may mandate specific dimensions that differ from these general recommendations.

Decks are generally more expensive to build because they require elevating and railings. The difference between decks and patios is that decks are elevated, while patios are usually on the ground level. Plus, decks are usually made of wood and need more maintenance than most patios. However, decks and patios serve the same purpose, providing outdoor space for you to enjoy.

Pressure-treated decks last 15 to 20 years on average, but with proper maintenance, you could get 40 to 50 years of value from yours. Reseal your deck every one to two years, and replace old or rotted wood as soon as possible to avoid structural damage. Where you live plays a role in the lifespan of your deck. Intense sunlight, rainfall, wind, and hail can reduce the deck’s lifespan.

Ultimately, overapplication of stain can compromise the deck's appearance, durability, and longevity. It may result in an uneven finish, with excess stain pooling, dripping, or drying into thick patches. It can also obscure the wood's natural grain and texture, detracting from the desired aesthetic. Moreover, excessive staining may not fully penetrate the wood, leading to poor adhesion and premature wear. Additionally, thick layers of stain are prone to peeling, cracking, and blistering as they struggle to bond with the surface. 

As with patios, there are many types of deck choices to choose from to add personalization to your home. Some common deck options include:

  • Attached decks are anchored to the home and include simple ground-level options or multi-level structures with stairways and separate landings. 

  • Detached island decks are not attached to the home; they’re a freestanding structure in the yard. 

  • Wraparound decks connect the back of the house with at least one other side and often are built with railings for safety. 

  • Multi-level decks connect your deck through varying levels of elevation, featuring landings that are attached to stairs.
