Decks for Scott County's newest neighborhoods
Scott County has been one long building season for years, and thousands of Shakopee, Savage, and Prior Lake homes came with a deck-shaped gap behind the sliding door. The valley's clay soil is the local catch: set footings casually and the freeze-thaw cycle racks the frame out of square.
A local deck builder sets piers for that soil, matches the deck to the house, and handles the permit. On Prior Lake, where the deck faces the water, they design for the sun and the view. Either way you get the outdoor room the house was missing, level for the long haul.
