Our builder just poured and we did not realize how high the deck would be off the ground. Our yard slopes a little down from right to left so the left side of the deck is almost 2 feet above the yard! They claim they will grade it, but there is no way they can grade it enough in our minds to make it right. Attaching some photos for reference. Our other issue is the deck is right next to the fence and we dont know what to do with it. We are concerned about kids slipping into the gap and also concerned about the fence being rotted by water coming off the pool. The pool builder gave us nada...... We are also replacing the fence and and the fence builder also does not have a good solution other than adding kickboard which will also eventually rot whether its treated or not. We are considering telling the builder they need to do something about this. We had no idea it would be so tall and of course the builder did not communicate it. They suck at communication, or at least do since they signed the contract. I have never seen a deck so tall like this TBH. We also wished they would have put a drain back there to at least prevent water from going down the back towards the fence. But alas...... Thoughts?
