DC Custom Landscaping - Oakdale's Experienced Landscapers

Absolutely. Many weed issues in Oakdale stem from overgrown or difficult-to-maintain landscape beds. By adding a well-designed deck, you replace a high-maintenance planting area with a beautiful, functional living space. This reduces the square footage you need to weed and mulch, giving you more time to enjoy your backyard. We can integrate your new deck with smart landscaping solutions to manage the remaining areas effectively.

It depends on the deck's condition and your goals. For structurally sound decks, a repair and refinish might be sufficient. However, if the deck is deteriorating and blocking light and air, causing dead grass and bare patches beneath, a full replacement is often the better long-term solution. We can design a replacement deck with better materials and spacing to improve drainage and sunlight penetration, helping the lawn beneath recover.

Bare spots are often caused by shade, poor drainage, or heavy foot traffic—common issues under and around old structures. Our deck construction process starts with a site evaluation. We position and design your new deck to minimize soil compaction and shade on your lawn, often using permeable bases and strategic footings. This, combined with our landscaping expertise, allows us to regrade or re-sod affected areas, creating a cohesive outdoor environment where both your deck and lawn can thrive.
