Landscaping: Installing a Wooden Deck
A deck can be a good all-weather alternative to grass or lawn, providing a space for entertaining or just relaxing on.
|
Decks can be built under cover or completely out in the open. Providing some cover, such as a pergola or roll-out awning, extends the year-long use of your deck.
There are three types of decking to consider when landscaping your block:
- Low-level decks: these decks extend out at the level of the floor on flat land, often adding outdoor space to a family room or living area.
- Remote decks: Not attached to the house, these are generally around pools, water features, spas, etc.
- They can also help retain the soil in such areas, to prevent erosion.
