Wood vs. Composite for Homes
Not sure which material is right for your property? Here’s a quick breakdown:
Feature | Wood Decks | Composite Decks |
---|---|---|
Appearance | Natural and classic | Modern and consistent |
Maintenance | Requires staining/sealing | Low maintenance |
Cost | More affordable upfront | Higher upfront, long-term value |
Lifespan | 10–15 years | 25–30+ years |

Sustainable Decking Options
Sustainable decking options are increasingly popular among Austin homeowners who want to enjoy their outdoor space while minimizing environmental impact. Composite decks, crafted from recycled materials, offer impressive durability and require less maintenance than traditional wood decks. Cedar decks are another excellent option, prized for their natural resistance to rot and insects, as well as their beautiful, natural look. For those seeking something truly unique, reclaimed wood decks can add character and charm to any backyard. Austin deck builders are experienced in working with a variety of sustainable materials, helping you create a deck that’s not only beautiful and long lasting, but also eco-friendly. By choosing sustainable decking, you can enjoy your deck for many years while adding value to your property and supporting a greener community.
