Wood Decks are an excellent way to keep a natural look and feel about your property.  Most decks today are built out of wood because it’s affordable and easy for your builder to work with.

The most affordable and commonly used type of wood for decking would be pressure treated decking materials.  However, wood can also be quite expensive if you’re wanting to build your deck out of popular redwood, cedar or the even more expensive Ipe.  Natural decking materials however offer a certain richness, and feel that you can only get from using wood.

Materials We Use For Building Custom Decks

• Pressure Treated Wood Decking
• Western Red Cedar Decking
• Ipe Decking
• Kayu Decking

What’s The Difference In Decking Materials?

Pressure Treated Decking:  It’s very resistant to rot and insects and it also withstands moisture very well, not to mention it’s readily available which also makes it affordable.  Pressure treated wood doesn’t necessarily need to be painted if you like the dark brown, or dark green color variations that it comes in.  Most pressure treated decking material is milled from southern yellow pine.  Square Leaf Landscaping And Design can build you a deck out of pressure treated lumber throughout the Ontario area.

Redwood & Cedar Decking: If budget isn’t an issue and you want one of the more elegant looking materials for your deck then redwood or red cedar are great choices. Both of  these western softwoods are highly sought after for their deep rich colors and natural beauty. Both of these species actually contain tannins and oils that help them naturally resist rot, decay and wood boring insects without having to be treated with chemicals.  The crew at Square Leaf Landscaping And Design are the Ontario Cedar Decking experts!

Ipe Decking:  Also known as Brazilian Walnut or Ironwood Ipe pronounced (Ee-pee) is beautiful looking exotic wood from South America. Ipe is naturally very resistant to rot, abrasion & weather which makes it a good canditate for a deck in our Ontario climate.  Ipe’s great looks and performance don’t come without cost however as it’s more expensive than Cedar.  Ipe is definitely not a budget deck material but we work with it enough that Square Leaf Landscaping And Design can provide you with an excellent looking Ipe Deck.

Composite Decking: A modern alternative to traditional wood decking, composite decking combines the beauty of natural wood with the durability and low maintenance of synthetic materials. Made from a blend of wood fibers and recycled plastics, composite decking is resistant to rot, fading, staining, and insects, making it an ideal choice for a long-lasting, beautiful deck with minimal upkeep. Available in a variety of colors and finishes, composite decking offers the aesthetic appeal of wood without the need for regular staining or sealing. Square Leaf Landscaping And Design offers expert composite deck installations, providing you with a sustainable, attractive outdoor living space in the Ontario area.
