DECKS

The timeframe for deck installation can vary greatly depending on a number of factors. One of the key considerations is the size and complexity of the design - a large, intricate deck will naturally take longer to install than a simple, small one. Additionally, factors such as weather and the condition of your ground can also affect the timeline. 

Generally speaking, a straightforward deck installation might take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. However, rest assured that our team at Jonathan & Sons Landscaping will work diligently and efficiently to get your deck installed as quickly as possible, without compromising on quality or safety. 

The choice between composite and wood decks really depends on your personal preferences and needs. Composite decks are made from a blend of plastic and wood, which makes them incredibly durable and virtually maintenance-free. They won't warp, crack, or splinter, and they resist insect damage.

On the other hand, wood decks have a classic, timeless appeal that many homeowners love. They require more upkeep than composite decks - you'll need to stain and seal a wood deck regularly to protect it from the elements. But with proper care, a wood deck can last for many years and add a warm, natural beauty to your outdoor space.

Maintaining your new deck is all about regular cleaning and occasional repairs. For both wood and composite decks, it's good practice to sweep them regularly to remove leaves and other debris, and to clean them with a suitable deck cleaner once or twice a year. This helps to prevent the buildup of mold and mildew.

With wood decks, you'll also need to re-stain and seal the deck every few years to protect the wood and keep it looking its best. For composite decks, you might need to deal with occasional stains or scratches. In both cases, if boards become damaged, it's best to replace them promptly to prevent further issues.
