We, at Deckplanner, are deck contractors serving Southern Maryland. We have over 20 years of construction experience building standard decks and custom deck designs. Throughout our website you can view a few of the many projects we have completed over the years. Although many of our designs are standard squares and rectangles, we have the ability to create almost any shape to conform to your specific needs. Deckplanner also installs concrete pavers, and retaining walls using ICPI (Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute) certified installers.
Deckplanner has been building decks in Southern Maryland for a long time and over the years has produced some of the best build decks in the area. All of our decks are free-standing. Some of Southern Maryland County's allow decks to be lag bolting the deck to the house and the bolts are the only thing that holds the deck up at the house. Our decks always have footing and beams at the house so the deck is supported on its own and not by bolts. 2. 2. We use only 6x6's to support the deck. In some cases 4x4's are allowed to support decks, but they tend to twist and bow over time.
