"This company is truly spectacular! I needed the boards on my large deck replaced. Chris is very professional and personable and easy to work with. His quote after viewing the area was very timely presented and affordable. His crew works meticulously, very efficiently and leaves no detail behind. I would recommend this company highly. If I could leave 10 stars I would! Thank you. Christine."

"Micah arranged for one of his crew to mow our lawn before we even selected his company as our provider.  He knew it was getting overgrown and we didn't have anyone lined up yet.  When we did select Dean Landscaping, we got off to a rocky start.  Micah had promised someone knowledgeable and capable of pruning beyond the normal "ball" or "hedge" shape.  He took a long time to deliver on that, and then the person had none of the qualities we were seeking.  We had some words with Micah about this, and he was probably just as unhappy as we were.  When we finally acknowledged that we are "picky" and we needed to search further for an expert in that area, we became more satisfied to keep Dean Landscaping for our mowing and edging only.  Micah has a nice crew of college students who have an excellent work ethic and are pleasant to be around.  They do a great job with the mowing and edging, and clean up our property very well before leaving.  They are very dependable.  At this point, we definitely plan to continue to use Dean Landscaping for our future lawn maintenance.  The only criticism now is that we have an irrigation system that should not be run the day before or the day of mowing.  Sometimes the day is changed and we have one area that tends to flood and then is too wet to mow.  Advance notice of a route change would be helpful to them and to us.  This has not been a problem the last few weeks, so maybe there aren't any issues remaining.  Bottom line is that we are satisfied with the job they are doing and will continue to use them.  Would recommend them to others.   We rated them an "A" based on lawn care only, but others may also find them perfectly suitable for bed maintenance as well.

"Clintonville - We had our 80 year old slate roof cleaned. The results were astounding. Before it was black with mildew, mold and algae. Now it looks like new. Work was performed by the owner, Micrin Norman, with careful attention to protecting our property and plantings. They were courteous and easy to communicate and work with."

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

Many composite decking manufacturers, including the popular Trex brand, offer warranties that protect against warping under specific conditions. These warranties typically last between 20 and 50 years, but they usually exclude claims related to improper installation of the product. Some manufacturer warranties only cover decks built by certified professionals.

Most building codes require that spindles or balusters on deck and stair railings be spaced no more than four inches apart. This safety standard, often called the '4-inch sphere rule,' is designed to prevent small children or pets from slipping through the railing. A good way to visualize this is that a 4-inch sphere should not be able to pass between two spindles. For the same safety reason, the space between the bottom rail and the deck floor should also be no more than four inches. As a general guideline, professionals often install three balusters per foot of railing. However, since specific requirements can vary by location, it is crucial to check your local building codes to ensure compliance before starting your project.

While the terms deck and porch are often used interchangeably, they are two distinct structures. A porch is a covered structure, usually attached to the front of a home, that offers protection from the elements. In contrast, a deck is an open, uncovered platform, often attached to the back or side of a home. Because porches have a roof, they typically require less maintenance than decks, but both features need regular cleaning and repairs to stay in good condition.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

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.
