Under the boards is where deck builders in Novato, CA, either solve the site or postpone it. On a Marin hillside the framing, the footings and the drainage under a deck take more design time than the surface anyone will actually see.

Heritage Landscapes carries over 35 years of family-grown expertise and more than fifty in-house professionals. Our team designs decks as part of a whole landscape rather than as a separate product, which is why the conversation starts with the grade. 

A deck is the one part of a landscape that has to hold people up, which puts it in a different category from everything else in the yard. Comparing deck contractors in Novato, CA comes down to three things a sample board will not tell you: who draws it and who builds it, what the framing is made of, and how the surface meets the ground it sits above.
