Deck Reno

This is a photo of the newly renovated deck. The previous deck was very solid, but it was also very enclosed and gave no view of the back yard. I am so pleased with the renovation that has just been completed. It adds more space to the deck in a small lower level, plus it adds a set of steps that descend right into the yard. Previously we had to go down the ramp, then step right and down a cement step to access the yard.

This is a direct view from the back yard. The lattice was removed from one section of the old deck and then the new part has posts which give much more visibility.

Now, of course, I can plan what to plant. This is a south exposure and one side of the deck has western exposure but is also shaded by a large maple. I would like to grow some climbers on that side, perhaps Virginia creeper or Boston ivy or perhaps another climbing hydrangea. I just wish they grew faster.
