Independence is one of the faster growing parts of Kenton County, with newer houses on larger lots than the older river cities to the north.
More ground and recent construction mean fewer site problems and more scope in the design.
Larger Independence lots suit a deck at door level with steps down to a patio, rather than one large platform. Splitting the functions gives more usable outdoor space for the money and keeps the deck itself in proportion to the house.
On a recently developed lot the grading is often young and water is still finding its route. Footings below frost depth are the baseline, and it is worth resolving where runoff goes while the machinery is on site.

Flexible financing options available through Hearth. Spread the cost of your deck or outdoor space over monthly payments instead of paying for the whole project up front.
Both, at different levels, is almost always the better answer. A deck by the door for cooking and eating, a patio further out for a fire pit. More usable space per pound than one oversized deck.
Mainly drainage. New grading settles and water finds new routes in the first few seasons. Footings below frost depth handle the structure, and sorting the runoff while we are on site is far cheaper than returning to it.
