Sutton Property Maintenance: Experienced Landscaping Serving East Jordan, MI 49727

Soil compaction is common here and prevents proper drainage, leading to moisture buildup and frost heave that can warp or shift deck footings. When we construct or repair your deck, we assess the soil and use techniques like deeper footings or gravel bases to create a stable foundation that resists these local ground movements, ensuring your deck stays level and secure for years.

Absolutely. We frequently see decks where adjacent rock gardens have shifted, causing stress and misalignment. Our repair process starts by stabilizing the surrounding area. We then level the deck structure, replace compromised boards or supports, and reinforce the frame to handle future ground movement, restoring both safety and appearance to your outdoor space.

In East Jordan, if your deck's main support posts or ledger board are significantly compromised due to long-term soil issues or water damage from poor drainage, a repair may not be sufficient. We recommend replacement when the foundation is no longer sound. A new deck allows us to rebuild from the ground up with modern materials and techniques designed specifically for our local soil conditions, giving you a worry-free structure.
