"Eric did a great job with our deck. I had reached out initially after coming up with some rudimentary design constraints to overhaul an old trampoline pad. Eric helped our design come to life! He built the hot tub pad, and after the tub was delivered, he built a deck around it with some nice benches and a spot for my cold soak. After we got it all in, we came back with a few revisions and the significant expansion, which Eric's and his team knocked out. Eric was very hands-on in is approach , he kept the job site clean and communicated well. The tolerances are very tight and the work looks top notch!"

"This company is fabulous!!!! He turned our beyond bad lawn into a showpiece!! The original yard was poorly designed and installed which killed the sod. They cleaned all that out, brought in new good soil and leveled it all out for proper layout and drainage. He had beautiful fresh sod delivered and they meticulously laid it out to make sure it was level and even. Afterwards he took his time explaining how to properly maintain/water from that point to at least a month out. Have to say, our yard is now a show piece!!! Highly recommend this company for any issues your lawn needs even installing sprinkler systems to designing and planting. If you want someone that is detailed oriented and treats your lawn as his own, then you will be in awe of Lovely Scapes!!!!"

Deck Maintenance questions, answered by experts

In many areas, a floating deck that isn’t connected to your home and stays under 200 square feet and below 30 inches in height may not need a permit. These freestanding structures are often considered low-risk, which can simplify the building process. However, building codes vary greatly based on location. Before investing in any home improvement project, check with your local permitting office for deck-building guidelines.

The proper and most comfortable height for a deck stair riser, also called a step, is between four and seven inches. A height of seven inches is often considered ideal for a strain-free step that minimizes the risk of trips and falls. While it is possible to have risers up to 12 inches, this height can be challenging for children, pets, or individuals with mobility issues. For optimal safety and comfort, pair a seven-inch riser with a tread depth (or run) of at least 10 to 12 inches. Always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements that differ from these general recommendations.

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.

The average cost to professionally clean or pressure wash a deck is around $150, with prices typically ranging from $100 to $600. Several factors influence the final price, including the deck's size, material, condition, and how long it has been since its last cleaning. For a smaller deck of about 300 square feet, you might pay around $100. For a larger deck of 1,000 square feet or more, the cost could be closer to $300 to $400. Decks that are very dirty or haven't been cleaned in years may require more time and special detergents, which will increase the price. The deck's material also plays a role. Wood decks often cost more to clean because they require a gentle power washing technique to avoid damage. Composite decks are typically less expensive to clean, and cleaning a metal deck may cost around $100.

The cost to build a second-story deck averages $4,800, though the actual price could range as low as $420 to upwards of $16,000. While labor costs range between 35% and 50% of the total project cost, the materials and complexity of design will ultimately lead you to save or spend more money on this home addition.
