Songs of joy. It is Dicondra
I live with my DD Aand SIL .They have been on remodle and repaire mode since March.
They powerwashed the deck and then just painted over what was cleaned, maybe sanded some rough spots.
It really pays to spend good money on anything thats used a lot. The former owners dis a cosmetic job on the deck to sell the house. It was new stain 4 years ago. We hope this will last longer.
If you figure what your time is worth and how much you save doing the job yourself itw worth a few dollars more for materials in the long run.You wont have to do the job again in a short time.
