I hope to have a new backyard porch/deck put in this spring and want to get some estimates. I am thinking of a brick / stone (some form of lime/flagstone or similar) surface but need landscaper/contractor who can both make recommendations on design & style as well as complete the work. Would appreciate any recommendations as well as comments on quality and relative cost of work. Thank you!

All I know is, request screws instead of nails! Every summer we have to hammer down the nail heads that pop up over winter or else somebody gets badly hurt.

I agree and it makes repairs and replacing decking so much easier. the screws counter-sink themselves

It costs more to screw a deck down.... Just an FYI.
