Fritz Construction: Local Landscaping Serving Minneapolis, MN 55424

A properly designed deck does more than add space; it can be part of your yard's drainage solution. We assess the grading and soil conditions in your yard during the planning phase. By elevating the deck structure and potentially incorporating permeable materials or strategic gaps, we can help redirect water flow away from your home's foundation and mitigate pooling, turning a problem area into a functional, dry outdoor living space.

In many Minneapolis homes, an old, rotting deck can trap moisture and become a breeding ground for weeds. While minor repairs might suffice, extensive rot often indicates underlying issues that promote water retention and weed growth. A full replacement allows us to start fresh: removing the old structure, treating the ground beneath to prevent weeds, and installing a new, elevated deck with modern, durable materials that resist moisture and are easier to maintain, giving you a clean, long-lasting solution.

Absolutely. When planning a building addition in Minneapolis, we consider its impact on your entire property. Poor drainage can threaten a new foundation. Our process includes evaluating your yard's water flow. We can integrate solutions like extending downspouts, recommending grading adjustments, or even incorporating a small patio or walkway as part of the project to improve runoff. This holistic approach ensures your new addition enhances your home without exacerbating existing water or weed problems.
