Decisions that determine whether the project lasts and feels right.
Footings & Anchoring
Frost-line concrete footings or surface-mounted anchors with proper ballast. Choice depends on town, soil, and structure size. Improper footings cause heave.

Cedar, Redwood, or Composite
Cedar weathers gray gracefully, redwood is more rot-resistant, and composite (Trex, AZEK) needs no staining. Each has different lifespan and finish-maintenance.
- Site assessment: lot orientation, sun/shade pattern, drainage flow, and electrical proximity before final placement.
- Existing site conditions verified against design assumptions to avoid mid-project rework.
