Q&A
How can a new deck from Wilmurth & Sons help with poor lawn grading in my East Alton yard?
A properly constructed deck elevates your outdoor living space above problematic ground. We design decks with integrated drainage considerations and proper footings that work with your landscape's natural flow, preventing water from pooling near your home's foundation. This approach complements our grading solutions by creating a stable, dry area for entertainment while we address the underlying lawn issues separately.
My deck needs repair due to water damage from poor drainage. Can you fix both the deck and the grading problem?
Absolutely. We frequently handle projects where deck damage is directly related to drainage issues. Our process involves repairing or reinforcing the deck structure while simultaneously correcting the lawn grading around it. We'll ensure proper slope away from the deck and your home, install appropriate drainage solutions, and use materials resistant to East Alton's moisture conditions to prevent future problems.
When replacing an old deck, how do you address the patchy grass and grading issues underneath?
Deck replacement gives us the perfect opportunity to solve both surface and subsurface problems. After removing the old structure, we regrade the area to ensure proper water runoff, amend the soil if needed, and install a new deck with improved drainage features. We can also incorporate landscaping elements like gravel beds or permeable pavers around the new deck's perimeter to promote healthy grass growth and prevent future patchiness.
