Is adding a deck a land improvement or real estate improvement for a rental?

If attached to the building, a deck would be considered a real estate improvement.

If it were a standalone structure, it may be considered a land improvement.  Other examples of land improvements include swimming pools, paved parking areas, wharves, docks, bridges, and fences.
