Q&A
Can a new deck from The Yard Doctor help prevent issues like dying shrubs in my Crestwood yard?
Absolutely. When we construct a new deck, we assess the entire site, including drainage and root zones. Poor water flow from old structures can harm nearby plants. We design and build with proper grading and material selection to ensure water is directed away from sensitive landscaping, helping to protect your shrubs and prevent common local issues.
My deck has water damage, and I also have sprinkler leaks. Should I fix the deck or the sprinklers first?
We recommend addressing the sprinkler leaks first. Persistent moisture from leaks is a leading cause of deck rot and structural damage in our area. Our team can help diagnose and repair irrigation issues to stop the water source, then provide a thorough deck repair or replacement plan that uses materials resistant to future moisture problems.
When replacing an old deck, how do you handle the landscaping and soil underneath to avoid future problems?
Deck replacement is an ideal time to correct underlying issues. We carefully remove the old structure, evaluate the soil condition and drainage, and often regrade the area. This process allows us to fix compacted soil or poor grading that may have contributed to water pooling, sprinkler inefficiency, or unhealthy plants, ensuring your new deck and landscape thrive together.
