Experts out there ... do you think it is a concern to have pool decks in hot/dry climates (where soil sometimes contracts during periods of drought) to butt right up to the house foundation? One of our PB's is saying that we should put flower beds in to mitigate this, but I would also be concerned about watering plants/flowers in an enclosed bed next to the foundation due to the potential for standing water. Other builders have not mentioned it.
Thanks in advance.
