I think if I were to build my own deck I'd still have a professional come and pour the footings. From what I've seen you pour footings, then stick in the 4x4, then fill the rest of it up with cement so, once again, no wood is touching the ground but 33% of the full 4x4 length (50% of the above ground length) is beneath the ground. Those terraced decks are beautiful but they also have a lot of wasted space and you can EASILY get talked into something that is was too big for your needs.
