Gary Gansar Loves His DeckTec Deck
When your adult children start hosting their parties on your newly-built backyard deck, you know you’ve done something right. “I’ve got four grown kids, and they have their parties over here now,” Gary Gansar said, referring to his 817 square-foot mahogany DeckTec deck that was completed in May.

Keep in mind that trees generally “bloom” in a given location for about a week and can peak early[...]
