Feedback on Deck staining job done

Hey DIYers I just got my deck pressure washed and stained by one of those summer college student companies. They sanded everything with a belt sander before going in with a transparent natural color stain. I can't help but notice weird horizontal lines on all of the boards. Is that to be expected/normal when doing work like this or did they screw something up? Just looking for advice/feedback to know if i should be concerned. The kids were nice, but obviously this isn't their trade, and I think I was the first deck of the season for them, so I'm not sure about their skill levels. https://preview.redd.it/57zimubj4k6f1.jpg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e84ae82e62d8fd8218a75821d56d66b60eda748 submitted by /u/Sanchmo [link] [comments]
