Brendan Wetzel has developed in-depth knowledge about the best lawn-care techniques and can also assist homeowners seeking to install water systems, build garden structures, or add a deck.

A well-designed deck will not only enhance the beauty and interest of a yard. It can expand a home’s living space and offer an ideal spot for entertaining or relaxing. Adding a deck is typically one of the most cost-effective home renovation projects.

A wide range of deck designs are available, and these can be customized to suit individual needs. A basic deck offers a solid floor and shaded overhang, both of which can be constructed in multiple shapes and sizes.

For example, the popular open-lattice structure offers privacy while letting in a pleasant breeze. A latticed deck roof similarly provides both sun protection and breeziness. The option of adding climbing vines can enhance a structure’s attractiveness.

Moreover, a deck’s railings can ensure safety and enhance visual appeal. They can be fashioned from wood, tubular piping, resin, and many other types of materials in shapes that are built to suit your space. Adding tempered glass panels provides another level of comfort and style.
