Our lot is on a slope. About a two foot drop over 30 feet. It would have to be multi level if it was concrete. Thought the deck option good as it could also give the house a handicapped entrance and provide some storage under the deck. It will be on the sunny side of the house. Has anyone used the Lowes or home depot composite decking (choicedek, veranda)? Love all the feedback! More is appreciated. Any contractor advice or tips on handling the approval process? Feel free to pm if the tips are confidential
