Our Decking Options

We offer a variety of high-quality decking materials to suit your needs and preferences.

Composite Decking

We are proud to offer composite decking from leading brands like TimberTech and Trex. Composite decking is a low-maintenance and durable alternative to natural wood, resistant to rot, insects, and fading.

Natural Wood Decking

For a classic and timeless look, we offer natural wood decking in a variety of species, including redwood, cedar, and pressure-treated lumber.

Cement-Based Decking Systems

For a modern and industrial look, we offer extremely durable and low-maintenance cement-based decking systems.

Sun Decks, Pool Decks, and Tanning Decks

We can design and build a variety of deck types to suit your needs and property. A sun deck is designed for sunbathing and relaxing, typically located in a sunny area of your yard. A pool deck is a deck that surrounds a swimming pool, providing a safe and comfortable surface for walking and lounging. A tanning deck is similar to a sun deck, but specifically designed and located to maximize sun exposure. We can also build multi-level decks to create distinct zones for different activities, such as dining, lounging, and grilling.

Choosing the Right Decking Material

Here is what you should think about when choosing the material for your new deck:

Composite Decking For Low Maintenance Durability

Composite decking is a popular choice in Los Angeles due to its long lifespan and minimal upkeep. Made from a blend of wood fibers and plastic, it delivers the appearance of natural wood with added strength and resistance to the elements. Composite boards will not rot, warp, or splinter, and they do not require staining or sealing over time.

Premium products are designed to resist fading, staining, and scratching, even under intense Southern California sun. Many composite options are also slip-resistant, making them a practical surface for pool decks and other areas exposed to moisture.

Natural Wood Decking With Classic Appeal

Natural wood decking offers a warm, timeless look that complements many home styles. Redwood and cedar are especially popular because they naturally resist rot and insects while showcasing rich grain patterns and color.

Wood decking does require consistent care to maintain its appearance and structural integrity. Regular cleaning, staining, and sealing every few years helps protect the boards from sun exposure and moisture. Pressure-treated lumber provides a more budget-friendly alternative, though it also benefits from routine maintenance to extend its lifespan.

Cement-Based Decking For Modern Strength

Cement-based decking systems provide exceptional durability and a contemporary appearance. These systems use dense cement boards that resist fire, water damage, and insect activity, making them one of the most resilient decking options available.

For homeowners seeking a clean, modern aesthetic with very little maintenance, cement-based decking can be an effective long-term solution that performs well in demanding outdoor environments.

Thoughtful Deck Design For Your Outdoor Space

Designing a deck involves balancing size, layout, and function so the finished structure feels naturally connected to your home and yard. The overall dimensions should remain proportional to the property while still providing enough usable space for seating, dining, or entertaining. We work closely with you to determine a layout that aligns with your lifestyle, design preferences, and budget.

The shape and configuration of the deck also influence how the space is used. A clean rectangular layout offers a timeless look and efficient use of square footage, while multi-level designs create distinct zones for relaxing, gathering, or outdoor dining. Orientation is another key consideration. Positioning the deck with awareness of sun patterns, shade, and surrounding views helps create a comfortable environment throughout the day.

Deck Railings That Balance Safety And Style

Railings are required for decks elevated more than 30 inches above ground level, but they also contribute significantly to the finished appearance. We offer several railing materials to match different architectural styles and maintenance preferences.

Wood railings provide a traditional aesthetic that pairs well with natural wood decking. Composite railings offer durability and low maintenance in a variety of colors. Aluminum railings deliver long-term strength with customizable powder-coated finishes. Cable railings create a clean, modern look while preserving open sightlines and surrounding views.

Built-In Features That Improve Functionality

Integrated elements can make a deck more comfortable and efficient without adding clutter. Built-in benches provide permanent seating while preserving open floor space. Planters introduce greenery and visual warmth, helping the deck feel more connected to the landscape.

We can also incorporate concealed storage solutions, such as storage benches or enclosed areas beneath the deck, to keep outdoor items organized and protected from the elements. These additions enhance everyday usability while maintaining a clean overall design.

Deck Lighting For Safety And Evening Use

Proper lighting allows your deck to remain functional and inviting after sunset. We install a range of lighting solutions, including post cap lights, step lights, and under-rail illumination, to improve visibility and highlight architectural details.

LED lighting is commonly used for its energy efficiency, durability, and consistent brightness. Well-planned lighting not only improves safety when moving around the deck but also creates a warm atmosphere suited for relaxing or entertaining outdoors.

The Deck Installation Process

Here is what you can expect from the deck installation process:

On-Site Consultation: We meet at your property to understand your goals, evaluate the space, and discuss design possibilities.

Custom Design And Proposal: You receive a tailored deck design along with a clear, detailed project proposal.

Permits And Engineering: Our team manages required permits and coordinates all structural planning before construction begins.

Professional Deck Construction: We build your deck from the ground up, completing the foundation, framing, decking, railings, and finishing details with care.

Final Inspection And Guidance: After completion, we perform a thorough inspection and provide maintenance recommendations to help protect your new deck.

Deck Maintenance

The maintenance requirements for your deck will depend on the material you choose.

Composite Decking

Composite decking requires very little maintenance. It should be swept regularly to remove debris and washed occasionally with soap and water to remove dirt and stains. Composite decking does not require staining or sealing.

Wood Decking

Natural wood decking requires more maintenance. It should be cleaned regularly and inspected for signs of rot or insect damage. Wood decking should be stained or sealed every two to three years to protect it from moisture and UV damage.

The frequency of maintenance will depend on the type of wood and the amount of sun exposure the deck receives.
