nancyalex nancyalex Returning Do It Yourselfer Registered: 05/31/05 Posts: 3 Loc: mesquite, texas, USA	We are planning to build a deck or have one built. The question is wood deck, stone, or pavers? We have a French drain in the area where we would want a deck. Is it possible to have a stone or paved deck in the same area as the drain or would a wood deck be a better choice?

An important difference is pavers would be at grade level while a wood deck would be raised. How high above the ground level is your door threshold? Is the ground level or does it drop off? etc, etc....... ------------------ Bart Blainey, B.E.R.

The house has a slab foundation. There is a small concrete porch (one level, no steps) off the back door. The threshold of the door is approximately 6"-8" from the ground. Thank you for your reply.

Your door threshold is too low for a deck. Hope this helps. ------------------ Bart Blainey, B.E.R.
