We dressed the deck out in cedar. The tree that's encompassed, we returned to at the end and scroll cut a nice circle around it giving it two plus inches all the way around. As the tree grows, I'll have to do this every so often but as it's a white oak, it shouldn't be but every few years. Also as the kids get older, I can push the scroll cut to a four inch gap between deck and tree. The poplar's have semi circles between them and the deck.
Eventually, I'll also have to cut the joist closest to the tree and sister another to it with spacer blocks but, again, this shouldn't be for awhile nor should it be very difficult when that time comes.

Looks awesome guys!!
It always looks lush there and quenches my thirst. It's been dry-ey dry here. Any day now, yes. Official/unofficial due date June 23. My doctor said to walk and vacuum. (Vacuum? Yeah.) We'd love baby stuff, but if'n it's a pain, don't fret about it. Y'all are gonna enjoy the heck outta that deck (I'm a poet). XXXOOO.
