Choosing the Best Decking Material for You
Pressure-Treated Wood: An economical choice offering good durability when properly maintained. Ideal for framing and a budget-friendly option for decking surfaces. Requires regular sealing and staining to extend its lifespan.
Cedar and Redwood: Natural beauty with inherent resistance to decay and insects. These premium woods offer warm tones and can be left to weather naturally or maintained with sealants for enhanced longevity.
Ipe (Brazilian Walnut): Exotic Hardwood known to be one of the most durable and luxurious of the decking materials. This ultra-dense wood is the apex of natural materials with a lifespan only matched by PVC.
Composite Decking: Made from wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite decking offers the look of wood with minimal maintenance. It is resistant to fading, staining, and moisture damage and available in various colors and textures.
PVC Decking: 100% synthetic material offering maximum durability and the lowest maintenance requirements. Excellent moisture resistance makes it ideal for poolside applications. It won’t rot, warp, or splinter.

Deck Design Considerations
When planning your deck installation, consider these important factors:
Size & Layout: Think about how you’ll use the space. Will you need room for a dining table, grill area, or lounge seating? Traffic flow and furniture placement should influence dimensions.
Sun & Shade: Consider sun patterns throughout the day. You may want to include areas for both sunny and shaded relaxation, potentially incorporating a pergola or shade structure.
Privacy: Depending on your property layout, privacy screens, strategic railing designs, or landscaping can create a more secluded atmosphere.
Access: Plan for convenient entry from your home and practical stair placement to connect with your yard. Multiple access points can improve flow for gatherings.
Maintenance Requirements: Different materials require different levels of upkeep. Be honest about the time you’re willing to invest in maintenance when selecting materials.
Deck Maintenance & Care
To maximize your deck’s lifespan and beauty:
- Sweep regularly to remove debris that can trap moisture
- Clean annually with appropriate deck cleaner
- Inspect fasteners and make any needed repairs promptly
- For wood decks, reapply stain or sealant as recommended
