Deck or Patio in Wilmington, NC: Which Fits Your Home? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Deck Builders Wilmington explores one of the most common outdoor living decisions for local homeowners: deck or patio? In Wilmington, the better choice often comes down to your yard slope, door height, how you want to use the space, and how much upkeep you want to take on over time.

Planning Your Backyard in Phases: Deck First, Then the Rest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode of Deck Builders Wilmington NC, we talk about planning your backyard in phases, starting with a solid deck and then adding patios, pergolas, and other features over time.
