Composite Decking vs. Wood Decking

Many Pittsburgh homeowners ask whether they should choose composite decking or traditional wood.

Composite Decking

Composite decking has become increasingly popular because it offers:

  • Minimal maintenance
  • No staining or sealing
  • Fade-resistant colors
  • Excellent durability
  • Long lifespan
  • Resistant to insects and rot

Composite decks are ideal for homeowners who want beautiful outdoor spaces without yearly maintenance.

Pressure-Treated Wood Decks

Pressure-treated lumber remains an excellent option for homeowners looking for affordability and natural wood beauty.

Benefits include:

  • Lower initial investment
  • Classic appearance
  • Easy repairs
  • Numerous stain color options
  • Strong structural performance

Our team helps you compare both options based on your goals, maintenance preferences, and budget.

Decks Designed Around Your Landscape

Unlike many contractors who only build decks, NLC Landscaping understands how every outdoor feature works together.

We can seamlessly integrate your new deck with:

  • Paver Patios
  • Retaining Walls
  • Landscape Design
  • Outdoor Lighting
  • New Sod Installation
  • Drainage Improvements
