LAND HOE! Landscape Design and Renovation
Why is your Deck falling down?

Since the mid 1980s, pressure-treated lumber has been the norm for the substructure of decks. Prior to then, untreated lumber was used for the posts, beams and joists. When time and our ever-present companion, moisture, ravage the unprotected wood, strength is lost, fasteners tear out and sagging sets in. The long-term hazards include the possibility that all or part of the deck might collapse with people on it, as well as the structure becoming a haven for termites and carpenter ants. Is it time to repair or replace your deck? Give us a call.
