| Standard pressure treated wood has given people plenty of headaches and as a result the market is full of alternatives that claim to last longer and require less maintenance. Cedar and Redwood have been available for years as an alternative choice for deck builders. Now more exotic hardwoods are available such as Ipe, a hard wood from Brazil. Composites are also available for deck boards. Pressure treated wood is an economical choice and, if properly cared for, can last a long time. There are positives and negatives to each type of lumber. Be sure to consider several types of deck boards and determine which is best suited for your back yard. Each of these products has some maintenance requirements, there is no maintenance free deck, so carefully read the manufactures guidelines for maintaining your deck once it is completed. |

This deck was installed
using dried pressure
treated wood for the deck
boards. We also used
dressed cedar for the
railing and dried pressure
treaded lumber for the
balusters. This selection
of premium lumber will
ensure its beauty for years
to come.

| This deck was installed using a composite material for the decking and railing. Due to the limited back yard space, stares were run across the entire deck to keep the area open giving the deck a larger feel. |
| Composite materials made from recycled plastics and lumber particles can make for a beautiful deck that can last a very long time if taken care of. The selection of materials are vast, and different composites will behave differently than others. Be sure to talk over all of the types of composite lumber you are considering so you can make an educated decision about which material will be best for your deck in your yard. Natural lumber is still a good choice for decking. Cedar and Redwood add an unmistakable beauty to a deck.. The wood will naturally resist bugs and decay so no chemicals are added to this lumber to preserve it. It is recommended that the lumber is sealed once a year after the deck is completed to protect from UV damage. Premium treated lumber that is dried after the lumber is treated is also a very good option. Lumber is most likely going to warp when it dries. Installing dry lumber is also beneficial as it is ready to stain as soon as the project is completed. Choosing the right deck boards will ensure long lasting beauty, installing the framing correctly will ensure your deck will last. Careful planning is done to ensure that the frame for your deck will be solid. We go above and beyond the local building codes to construct a strong deck that will withstand everything nature will throw at it. All of our decks are inspected by the local building inspectors to protect you, the home owner, and to ensure the work that we do meets or exceeds local standards. |

| This patio was installed with a cobble paver for the main area and natural stone for the entry area in front of the gate. We also installed a retaining wall to keep the front yard from washing onto the patio. |
