Big news coming this weekend. Big as the great outdoors.
No, its not news that Archadeck of Central Iowa won two design awards at our recently-completed annual meeting. But, we did…and thats pretty big, too.
- First Place for Combination projects; in this case a screen porch, patio and outdoor kitchen project in Grinnell, east of Des Moines. We’re called Archadeck of Central Iowa for a reason.
- Third Place for Patio / Hardscaping projects; for a patio project in Johnston. Closer to home in Des Moines.

Screen Porch, Patio and Outdoor Kitchen Project in Grinnell Wins Archadeck 2013 Design Contest (Combination Projects – 1st Place)
These acknowledgements are big and humbling at the same time; we’ve got some great professionals in the Archadeck system. Competition is fierce; bribes have been attempted…but not accepted. Just kidding (sorta).
No, its not news that I will be on Sherry Failor’s Welcome Home Des Moines radio show this Saturday. But, I will…and thats pretty big, too. 1040 WHO AM on your radio dial, noon to 1pm. We’ll be talking decks, porches, patios and more…including, the big news!
No, its not that the Des Moines Home & Garden Show- The Big one! – is coming up next week. Starting Thursday, February 7th, running thru Sunday the 10th. 15th year running for Archadeck at the show. You’ll find us in the lobby on the east side of Hy-Vee Hall. Make us your first stop! Or last. Or both. And be sure to ask us about the big news.
No…its bigger than all that…combined. Thats all I can say now. Other than…find us on Facebook. Beyond that, I’m sworn to secrecy. But, its big. Stay tuned…
