Private Deck
This is a unique deck. It is very nestled into this grandmother oak and yet it does not actually touch the oak or its roots anywhere. This deck provided the client with an outdoor business area that could accommodate a single chair. There are also three access points onto this deck. The roots were excavated by hand to discover where footings could be placed so that the tree would continue to thrive. After the excavation the soil was replaced with road base to provide a more solid place to install concrete footings. The framing is far enough away from the trunks that the deck can be reshaped as the tree continues to grow.
