By The Way Landscape & More | Experienced Landscaping in Olympia, WA

Absolutely. At By The Way Landscape & More, we view deck construction as part of a complete yard solution. For Olympia homes dealing with overgrowth and compaction, we start by clearing the area and assessing the soil. We then design and build your deck to improve water runoff and create a clean, usable space above problem areas, effectively solving two common local issues at once.

Very likely. Soil compaction and moisture from our local climate are common culprits for deck settling and rot in Olympia. Our deck repair service includes a full inspection of the foundation and support posts. We don't just fix the surface; we address the root cause by reinforcing or replacing footings to ensure your repair is long-lasting and stable against local ground conditions.

Proper site preparation is key in Olympia. During a deck replacement, we fully remove the old structure and assess the ground. For compacted or uneven soil, we regrade and may add gravel for better drainage before installing new, code-compliant footings. This foundational work is crucial—it ensures your new deck is level, durable, and resistant to the shifting that can happen with our local soil.
