Why Choose Wood for Your New Deck?

Wood decks bring natural beauty and timeless charm to any home. They offer warmth, versatility, and a classic aesthetic that’s hard to match. With options like cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber, wood decks provide flexibility in style and budget. When properly maintained, they can enhance your outdoor living experience for many years.



Here are some key reasons to choose wood for your deck:

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Wood’s natural grain and rich tones provide a warm, organic look that blends seamlessly with outdoor environments. It can be stained or painted to match your home’s style.
  • Affordability: Compared to other materials like composite or aluminum, wood is often a more budget-friendly option while still delivering exceptional durability.
  • Customizability: Wood is highly versatile, allowing for intricate designs, custom features, and unique layouts that cater to your specific needs.
  • Sustainability: Many types of wood used in deck construction, such as cedar or redwood, are sourced responsibly and are biodegradable, making them an eco-friendly choice.
  • Ease of Maintenance and Repair: With proper care, wood decks can last for decades. Damaged or worn boards can often be replaced individually, making maintenance cost-effective.


Choosing wood for your deck ensures a balance of beauty, functionality, and value. Whether you’re aiming for a traditional design or something more modern, wood’s versatility makes it an ideal material for your outdoor living space.


Custom Deck Designing

Your deck should reflect your style and fit your space perfectly. That’s why we take a personalized approach to every design. Our process includes:

  • Tailored Layouts: From compact designs to expansive, multi-level decks.
  • Special Features: Built-in seating, custom lighting, or integrated planters to elevate your deck’s look and functionality.
  • Material Selection: Helping you choose the right type of wood for your design and lifestyle.


We’ll work closely with you to ensure the final design exceeds your expectations and suits your outdoor needs.


Expert Deck Restorations

An aging or damaged deck doesn’t have to be replaced. Our deck restoration services can make your deck look like new again. Here’s what we do:

  1. Thorough Cleaning: Remove dirt, stains, and old finishes.
  2. Repairs and Upgrades: Replace damaged boards or railings and add modern touches if desired.
  3. Sanding and Sealing: Smooth surfaces and apply protective coatings for long-lasting beauty.


Restoring your deck is an excellent way to extend its life, improve its safety, and enhance its appearance.


Caring for Your Wood Deck

A well-maintained wood deck not only looks beautiful but also lasts longer, providing years of enjoyment. With regular upkeep, you can protect your investment and keep your deck safe and functional for all your outdoor activities. Follow these tips to ensure your deck stays in top condition:

  • Sweep debris and clean the surface regularly.
  • Apply a protective sealant or stain every few years.
  • Inspect for loose boards or nails and address issues promptly.


These steps will help maintain the beauty and longevity of your deck.

A beautiful TimberTech deck in Waukee. This client was in need of a complete deck rebuild and decided to enlarge the structure at the same time.

This client had an existing wood deck and wanted to make the space more functional for their needs. We added a 4' extension to the deck, rebuilt the stairs to improve the flow to the backyard, and installed a high quality composite decking with aluminum handrail. In addition, we installed a water proofing system under the decking which allowed for the installation of a ceiling under the deck. Lastly, we built a privacy wall on one side to make the space more usable.

A very popular curb appeal update for homes is changing the look of support posts on front porches. On this home in West Des Moines we removed the painted woodwork on the columns and replaced it with cedar wood, which was then stained to the clients desired color.  Cedar wood is a naturally weather resistant option that is great for outdoor projects.
