Deck Rebellion: Revolutionary Concepts for Outdoor Living.
A deck guy wrote in on a construction group, wanting to know how to build something. The master craftsman said, “This is a Deck Remodelers project. You should check with them. They have their own technique.” Then he said, “Be careful you don’t bite off more than you can deliver. You’re being asked to emulate quite possibly the best deck builder in the world.”
“The possibilities are endless, and I invent stuff all the time,” says Sean McAleer, master deck builder and visionary extraordinaire. “Deck Remodelers has been copied too many times to count. It used to make me mad. Now I know it’s because of how innovative we are. I often say, “I can do anything as long as it follows the laws of physics – and the zoning department.”
Sean McAleer, Owner and visionary of Deck Remodelers, North America’s most awarded deck designer and builder.

Straight Dirt: New York’s Premier Landscape Designer Tells it Like It Is.
Straight Dirt is Steve Griggs’s “tell all” book about the inner workings of a landscape design firm in the TriState area. Griggs has been designing and installing residential backyards spaces in affluent areas in and around the New York metro area for the past thirty-five years. Straight Dirt is not a “how to” book on doing your own backyard. Rather, it gives expert insight on how to work with designers and contractors to create dream backyards and rooftop terraces in New York City. It includes segments on design and execution, with special sections on Grigg’s favorite plants, dos and don’ts for pools, and an invaluable list of tips on how to deal with your landscape contractor in “What Google Won’t Find For You.”
Griggs combines an artist’s sensibility with a commitment to client satisfaction. His passion is contagious and tell-it-like-it-is attitude gets the job done. He transforms every environment from ordinary to extraordinary, and the book is a masterful reflection of his work ethic (“Do it Once, Do It Right”) and attitude, (“Anyone can shower you with roses. I bring the thorns…and the cutter. Translation: Don’t believe the B.S. I tell it like it is” ).
Loaded with pictures from six showcased homes and stories from a handful of clients, Straight Dirt not only illustrates the various elements of landscape design and construction, it also gives the reader insight into how clients should feel at the completion of their project: “I had spent much of my life dealing with designers and contractors. Steve is very much unique. He is an artist and is someone who tacks on pride to what he does. What he created for us is extraordinary. We are grateful.” —Linda and Regis Boff
Straight Dirt is to the point, oftentimes funny, and the reader will never look at your backyard the same again.
