Raised deck or lay tiles?
I bought my first home recently and the sun shines in such a way the back of my garden gets it most of the day so I want to build a sitting area with a firepit there. I'm between building a raised wooden deck, or flattening the ground a bit and tiling (more like slabs) it. I live on a very slight hill with the back of my garden being uphill, with very wet grass (i don't need to worry about drainage though). The slope is very minor, a ball wouldn't roll down it without nudging it first. I'm looking for advice on the effort level as well as final result between sinking posts with some cement and building a slightly raised wooden deck, or de-grassing and mostly flattening the ground to tile it? Any advice is appreciated. submitted by /u/lightningsiax [link] [comments]
