The shape of a deck addition should always be informed by the architectural design of the home. For instance, imposing a curving deck on a home that’s linear in all ways will look horribly out of place. Always follow the lines and proportions of your house.

If uncared for, wood structures can last for seven to eight years. With new building materials available, however, this lifespan can be increased considerably. Such materials include composites and weather-resistant stains.

One of the benefits of using ironwood for decks is that it is naturally resistant to termites and boring insects, as well as mold. It is also fire resistant, stands up to freeze and thaw cycles, and safe for ground contact.

One advantage of choosing pressure-treated wood for your deck is its environmental sustainability. Trees used to create this material grow extremely quickly and are only planted on managed timberlands.

There is a variety of different ways that concrete can be reinforced depending on the project. For example, many driveways are made with steel mesh reinforcement, while large buildings will often use thick steel bars on their pillars and other support structures.

The surface of a deck takes a beating all year long rain, snow, sun, and foot traffic all work to wear away the wood, breaking it down. If you prefer wood rather than a composite, we select lumber with tight and straight grains and with a low moisture content to deliver the longest life possible.

Roman road construction often used paving stones. The carts that traveled on the roads didn't have articulated front axles, however, which made it necessary to cut deep wheel grooves in the road to help the carts around corners. Today, modern automobile technology makes it possible to keep our paved roads and driveways perfectly smooth.

If you have the space for a large patio, consider adding a pond feature to create a natural and relaxing outdoor ambiance. Easy to maintain patio ponds lined with small rock walls fit in beautifully with stone pave patios.

It’s important to remember that the brick on your chimney is for more than just aesthetic purposes. When your chimney becomes cracked, it’s easier for debris to become lodged in it, which could create a potential fire hazard.
