Why Choose a Wood Deck?

Wood is a versatile decking material that offers a charm and warmth that composite materials try to imitate β€” but never quite match the appeal of real wood. Here’s why so many of our Austin clients still prefer natural lumber:

  • 🌿 Classic Aesthetic – Rich textures and earthy tones fit effortlessly into Texas landscapes
  • πŸ’² Cost-Effective – Lower material and upfront costs than composite
  • πŸ”§ Easier to Repair – Individual boards can be replaced without tearing up the whole deck
  • 🎨 Customizable Finishes – Choose your stain, sealer, or let it gray naturally
  • 🧰 Versatile Design – Works well for patios, porches, pool decks, and multi-level layouts
  • ⭐ Popular Choice – Wood remains a popular choice among Austin homeowners for its natural beauty and proven performance

Certain wood decking materials, like cedar, are especially well-suited for decks exposed to full sun, making them ideal for unshaded outdoor spaces in Austin’s climate.

Types of Wood We Install

We offer a range of deck types to suit different preferences and needs. We only use premium-grade, properly treated lumber for long-lasting performance:

  • Pressure-Treated Pine – Affordable, reliable, and widely used, this deck type can be finished in various styles to match your home’s exterior.
  • Cedar – Naturally insect-resistant and rich in color, cedar decks offer classic styles and a warm appearance.
  • Redwood (optional) – Elegant and slightly more durable, redwood provides sophisticated styles for a standout look.
  • Ipe, Cumaru, & Hardwoods – For high-end performance (available upon request), these hardwood deck types deliver modern styles and exceptional durability.

Each option comes with unique aesthetics, maintenance needs, and price points. With proper care, some wood options can last for many years. Not sure what’s best? We’ll walk you through it during your free estimate.

Maintaining Your Wood Deck

Maintaining your wood deck is essential to preserve its quality and appearance. Here’s how:

With regular maintenance using high-quality products, a wood deck can last 10–20 years, depending on the materials and exposure.

Wood vs. Composite: What’s Right for You?

Composite decks are a popular alternative to wood, recognized for their low-maintenance requirements and long-lasting durability. Made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, composite decks are engineered to resist outdoor elements like moisture, fading, and stains. We offer composite decking from top brands, ensuring you receive high-quality materials that withstand the elements.
