Wooden Planter Boxes & Repaired Deck, Urbana

The siding on these 15-year old planter boxes was rotting, and the lining was failing.  New Prairie rebuilt the planter boxes with treated, rot-resistant wood and lined the inside with rubber roofing membrane before refilling with soil.  (Be aware — this is NOT recommended for planters with edibles growing in them!) 

The surrounding deck, porch, and steps had mold and moss growing on them; they were cleaned, sanded, treated, and stained.  We also re-screened the porch, replaced some railing stiles, corrected a handrail detail, and replaced the post caps with bronze finish composite caps.
