Keep service access usable beneath and beside the deck.
A New Braunfels deck proposal should show more than its finished footprint. Compare support locations and enclosed edges with utility equipment, drains and irrigation controls. NBU’s easement information is a relevant starting reference where its infrastructure crosses or borders the proposed outdoor living area.
Provide deck height, intended furniture layout and the route back into the building. If replacing boards on an existing frame, request assessment of that frame before assuming it can be reused. Clarify whether the scope includes stairs, railings and landscape restoration so those items are not discovered after the surface material is selected.
Local reference: NBU easement information. Confirm requirements for your address and scope with the responsible authority.
