"Randy Cole and his crew replaced a series of large, irregular (and often slippery) natural stepping stones that traversed 65 feet with an elevation gain of 9 feet with a beautiful walkway constructed of Cambridge Ledgestone Vermont Slate pavers and 13 or so cast stone stairs. They also replaced a large area with gravel underneath our deck with the same pavers. Randy and his helpers then did a wonderful job of fixing a stone wall next to our new walkway using a combination of the stones they had removed plus a palette of blue mountain wall stone. After all the construction was finished, the area adjacent to the walkway was returned to its original condition, mulch was laid down, and the section of our lawn that was used as a staging area for the work was repaired and reseeded. Other work included rototilling a section of the lawn in anticipation of creating a garden there next summer, and laying down stones around the border of this intended garden, I heartily recommend using this company for your stone work, Most importantly, Randy is there every step of the way, working alongside his small crew, making sure the work is done correctly. Description of work: Built walkway, rebuilt stone wall, moved stones, replaced gravel area under deck with pavers, rototilled garden, laid down mulch, reseeded part of lawn.

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

When staining a deck, don’t skip surface prep, avoid staining damp or dirty boards, and don’t apply stain in extreme heat, cold, or wet conditions. Never overload the wood with a stain, as too much can cause tackiness or peeling. Also, don’t forget to test a small area first to ensure the color and finish look right.

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.

An above-ground pool with a deck can increase your home's value by as much as 4% to 7%, but it depends on your local climate, potential buyers, and the size and condition of your pool. Some buyers see a pool as a liability instead of a luxury, especially if it's at the end of its life span. In general, it's best to add a pool and deck to your property if it will bring you enjoyment—not because it raises the value of your home.

It’s best to use two screws to secure deck boards into every joist. Securing the boards to every joist makes the deck more structurally sound, while using two screws on the outer sides of the boards can help prevent warping and cupping.

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.
