Frequently Asked Questions
Can a new deck design help with moss and drainage issues in my New Albany yard?
Absolutely. Moss often thrives in damp, shaded areas. A properly designed and constructed deck from Just Joe can improve air circulation and sunlight exposure to the ground below. We also ensure proper grading and drainage during installation to direct water away from your lawn, helping to reduce the constant moisture that encourages moss growth.
My old deck holds water and moss grows underneath. Should I repair or replace it?
This is a common issue in our area. If the deck structure is sound, we can often repair it by replacing damaged boards, improving the underlying framing for better slope, and adding ventilation. However, if the foundation is compromised or the design fundamentally traps moisture, a full replacement with modern, drainage-conscious materials is usually the most effective long-term solution for your New Albany home.
How does deck work relate to my sprinkler system's coverage gaps?
An improperly placed or low-hanging deck can physically block sprinkler heads, creating dry spots in your lawn. During any deck construction or replacement project, we coordinate the deck's footprint and height with your existing irrigation layout. We can work with you to adjust sprinkler placement or recommend system modifications to ensure even coverage, preventing those unsightly brown patches.
