Scoles Home and Property Services | Experienced Landscaping in Newark, OH

Poor grading can lead to water pooling under or around a deck, causing rot and instability. When we construct your new deck, we first assess the site's drainage. We can incorporate solutions like adjusting the deck's footings, adding proper ground slope away from your home, or integrating a drainage system beneath the deck. This ensures your investment is protected and helps solve the underlying grading issue.

Absolutely. A common issue in Newark homes is sprinkler coverage gaps. During our deck design and construction process, we carefully map out your existing irrigation lines. We can work with you to reposition sprinkler heads before building, design the deck's footprint to preserve coverage, or even suggest low-maintenance landscaping or hardscaping for the shaded area under the deck, ensuring your entire yard stays healthy and attractive.

It depends on the deck's condition and the root cause. If the deck structure is sound but the ground underneath has erosion or pooling, a repair focused on the substructure combined with a drainage correction might be best. However, if the poor grading has caused significant rot in the posts or joists, a full replacement allows us to rebuild from the ground up with proper grading and drainage integrated from the start, offering a more durable, long-term solution for your Newark home.
