DECKS AND ARBORS

DECKS - DECKING PROJECTS MAY BE USED TO CREATE AN INTIMATE SITTING AREA, CONNECTING ONE AREA OF THE YARD TO ANOTHER OR AN AREA FOR GATHERINGS OF LARGE GROUPS OF PEOPLE. PROPER DESIGN, ORIENTATION AND PLACEMENT ARE CRITICAL WHEN YOU INVEST IN A DECK PROJECT. DECK BUILDING MATERIALS VARY. THE ACTUAL WALKING SURFACES ARE TYPICALLY REDWOOD, CEDAR, OR COMPOSITES, DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THE DECK WILL ENDURE, THE DESIRED COLOR (NATURAL OR STAINED), AND YOUR BUDGET. UNDERSTRUCTURES ARE DESIGNED USING PRESSURE TREATED LUMBER THAT PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST ROT AND INSECT DAMAGE.

ARBORS - ARBORS ARE USED TO PROVIDE AESTHETIC APPEAL, SHADE, A SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR PLANTS, A FOCAL POINT IN THE GARDEN OR A COMBINATION OF THESE ELEMENTS. AN ARBOR CAN PROVIDE SUMMER SHADE BUT STILL ALLOW WINTER SUN TO PENETRATE THROUGH TO WARM DESIRED AREAS. LIVING ARBORS THAT SUPPORT VINES SUCH AS WISTERIA OR CLEMATIS PROVIDE A DISPLAY OF COLORS DURING THE GROWING SEASON. ARBORS SHOULD BE SCALED IN SIZE TO COMPLIMENT BOTH THE RESIDENCE AND THE YARD. OVERBEARING ARBORS DETRACT FROM A HOMES ARCHITECTURE.
