pavers way better and likely cheaper too.

plus if the entry door to the home is at the same level as the deck
water may enter during heavy rains..... causing floor rot.

all sorts of animals will move under your deck making it their new
home, chipmunks, rabbits, skunks, racoons etc.

price the pavers and also getting a handyman to install them,
installed pavers mght be cheaper than ground level deck
