Become an environmental gardener

With all the information that has
become available recently about our

Many Canadians believe a healthy

most types of grass, the proper length

longer, healthier roots, and provides

PLANNING YOUR DECK

Sometimes the best room in the
house is outside on the wood deck
Naturally versatile, a deck can be
your breakfast room on sunny
summer mornings, a play yard for
youngsters, a sitting room for
reading, a kitchen for cookouts, and
a living room for garden parties
And, if you're a green thumb who's
short on garden space, a deck can provide just the room you need to putter
among your favorite container plants
WHICH DECK IS YOUR BEST BET?
Decks fall into three categories: low-level, hillside, and roof decks
Low-level decks, supported directly by concrete piers or on short posts, are
often the simplest decks to build. Though generally more expensive on a cost
per square foot basis, low - level decks are often preferred to paved roads
because wood is more resilient and reflects less heat than most masonry
materials. Attached to the house or freestanding, low-level decks c#h be
designed to suit a legion of different uses and settings. They make particularly
effective solutions for damp or uneven locations.
Hillside decks offer the classic solution to a problem every hillside
homeowner faces-in making use of a steep lot — how to create level space

Roof decks are often easy to install over a garage roof or a room designed to

they create outdoor living space. However, because they are frequently
