Whether you’re envisioning a rustic retreat or a sleek, low-maintenance design, we create decks that elevate your backyard and last for years.
Why Add a Deck to Your Home?
A custom deck provides multiple benefits:
- Expanded living space for entertaining and relaxing.
- Increased property value with a functional outdoor upgrade.
- Design flexibility to match your home’s architecture.
- Durability with materials built to handle Texas weather.
A professionally designed deck installation blends beauty, comfort, and function into one seamless outdoor feature.
Wood vs. Composite Decking
Wood Decking
- Natural and timeless appearance.
- Materials like cedar, redwood, or pressure-treated lumber.
- Cost-effective upfront but requires regular maintenance.
Composite Decking
- Made from wood fibers and recycled plastics.
- Resistant to rot, insects, and fading.
- Higher initial cost but minimal maintenance over time.
Both options create beautiful decks — the right choice depends on your lifestyle, budget, and desired look.
