Comments (8)"...builder screwed up and didn't plan an appropriate exit..." Well I guess. Is the builder willing to rectify the situation? It looks to me that it may be possible to build a deck outside the back door which projects beyond the face of the house, with minimal steps and/or ramp in the direction of the left side of the photo, parallel to the face of the house. In other words, a deck projecting out beyond the house for whatever dimension you want with access/egress toward the left margin of the photo, where the grade appears highest. It appears that the ground slopes off so much to the right side of the house that it's impractical to build anything in that direction. What do you prefer to do?...See MoreHELP! struggling to pick decking and retaining wall!
Comments (2)Thank you for responding! I love the last pic! The gray stone on the hot tub and retaining walls looks really good with the brick! Then the decking being a similar tone keeps everything from clashing with the brick. Different textures without too many colors! Great inspiration! I will be taking this to the next design meeting. Thanks again!...See MoreYardvaark
