Build a Deck That Fits Your Yard
Deck building services in Eyota for homeowners needing outdoor space on level or sloped terrain.
When your backyard in Eyota has uneven terrain, a deck provides a level, functional outdoor space where natural slopes or soft ground make patios impractical. You might be dealing with an old deck that has loose boards, visible rot, or structural concerns, or you might simply need more room for gatherings, grilling, and furniture. A new deck creates usable square footage outside your home while addressing safety, drainage, and material durability based on how you plan to use the space.
Frontline Services MN LLC builds decks in Eyota using pressure-treated lumber or composite materials, depending on your preference for maintenance and longevity. Work includes setting footings below frost lines, installing joists and beams to meet load requirements, and attaching decking boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion. If you are replacing an existing deck, the old structure is removed and disposal is handled as part of the project. For growing families or homeowners who entertain regularly, deck size and layout can be customized to accommodate seating areas, grills, and traffic flow from the house to the yard.

Footings, Framing, and Decking Material Selection
Deck construction in Eyota begins with marking footing locations based on the planned size and shape of the deck, then digging and pouring concrete footings that extend below the frost line to prevent heaving during freeze-thaw cycles. Posts are set in the footings, and beams and joists are installed to create a level frame, even if the yard slopes. Decking boards are fastened with hidden clips or corrosion-resistant screws, and spacing is maintained to allow water to drain and wood to expand without warping.
After the deck is finished, you will notice a solid, level surface that does not bounce or sag when walked on, boards that are aligned evenly without gaps or splinters, and railings that meet height and spacing codes for safety. Composite decking will not require staining or sealing, while pressure-treated wood will need periodic maintenance to prevent weathering and discoloration.
The work includes building stairs if your deck is elevated, but it does not include landscaping, grading, or outdoor lighting unless those are added as separate line items. If your yard has utility lines or drainage concerns, those are identified before digging begins to avoid conflicts with the deck layout.
