Heaving Decks and Patios
This winter was especially cold, which caused the frost line to go deeper than most winters before. Patios, decks, and other outdoor structures may have moved as a result of heaving. This happens when moisture in the ground freezes and expands, which forces the ground to move. If footings aren’t deep enough or there are drainage problems, your deck or patio could move and create problems. There is help if this has happened to you. Spear’s Landscape can fix your existing deck or patio so that it won’t happen again. Grading or installing drains may also be installed to keep water away from where it may be harmful to your landscape. Winter is hard enough, so don’t let it impair your favorite outdoor area for the summer. Call us today if you would like help with your patio, deck, or other outdoor structures!
