The one thing I would do differently is to use the "under deck screwing" thingmajig; assuming you have the clearance under the deck to pull that off. Mine is also the walkway to the garage; and every snowfall when I shovel I find screws that are not flush.
If you are going to screw from above- snap a chalk line. Yes, you can see the joist underneath- but having the screws perfectly lined up looks so much more professional.
