"Anthony responded promptly to my request for an estimate to remove part of a deck and seal the wood on the remaining part. He was very professional throughout the process, explaining the steps required to complete the job, and notifying me when his work schedule needed to change because of the weather. He completed the work in a timely manner and did everything he said he would do. The deck looks great. I will use this company again."

"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

Unless you’re using a 2-in-1 formula or painting over an existing coat of paint, it pays to apply a coat of primer ahead of your new paint. Decks see a lot of footfall and exposure to extreme and sudden temperature changes and moisture levels. The primer promotes better paint adhesion, moisture repellency, and a smoother finish, which means you’ll often need fewer coats of paint. 

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 direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Expect to spend around $10,000 to $11,000 to replace a 20-by-20-foot deck. Using high-end materials like composite or exotic hardwoods can drive up the cost, as can custom features and design elements. You can also expect to pay more than average if your deck replacement requires a site evaluation or if you need the work done during the busy season.

Generally, a patio is more accessible than a standard deck because patios are constructed at ground level. However, decks can be made accessible by adding a wheelchair-accessible ramp, a vertical lift, or a stair lift along the entry. An ADA-compliant deck ramp costs about $3,000 on average. The additional investment will provide a much friendlier experience for your guests with movement impairments.
