Wood Deck Installation

The Classic Appeal of Wood Decks

Nothing beats the authentic look and feel of real wood. Wood decks offer natural beauty, rich textures, and a warmth that synthetic materials cannot replicate. When properly built and maintained, a wood deck provides years of enjoyment and adds timeless charm to your outdoor living space.

At DeckScape League City Decks, we specialize in building high-quality wood decks that showcase the natural beauty of the material while standing up to Texas weather. Our team has been serving homeowners in League City and surrounding communities since 2024, and we understand exactly how to select, install, and finish wood decking for maximum longevity and appeal. We work with premium lumber and use construction techniques that prevent common problems like warping, splitting, and premature rot.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Different wood species offer unique characteristics, and we help you choose the best option for your needs and budget. Here are the most popular choices for deck construction in our area.

• •Pressure-Treated Pine: The most affordable option that resists rot and insects when properly maintained. Great for budget-conscious projects.
• •Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay and insects with a beautiful reddish tone. Requires less maintenance than pressure-treated wood.
• •Redwood: Premium choice with rich color and excellent durability. Naturally resists moisture and pests.
• •Tropical Hardwoods: Extremely dense and durable options like ipe or tigerwood. These offer exceptional longevity but cost more upfront.

We walk you through the pros and cons of each wood type and help you select the best material for your climate, usage patterns, and maintenance preferences.

How We Build Your Wood Deck

Building a wood deck requires expertise and attention to detail. We start with a solid foundation using concrete footings and properly sized support posts. All framing lumber is carefully selected and installed to meet or exceed local building codes. We use the right fasteners and spacing techniques to allow for natural wood movement and prevent future issues.

Once the structure is complete, we install your decking boards with precision, ensuring proper spacing for drainage and expansion. We can also add custom railings and stairs that match your deck perfectly. Every board is positioned to showcase the natural grain patterns and create a cohesive, attractive surface.

After construction, we recommend professional staining and sealing services to protect your investment and enhance the natural beauty of the wood. This crucial step helps your deck resist moisture, UV damage, and everyday wear.

Caring for Your Wood Deck

Wood decks do require regular maintenance to stay beautiful and functional. The good news is that proper care is straightforward and manageable. You should clean your deck annually with a deck cleaner to remove dirt, mildew, and debris. Most wood decks need to be resealed or restained every two to three years to maintain protection and color.

We provide detailed maintenance guidance when we complete your project, and we offer ongoing maintenance services to keep your deck in top condition. Regular care not only keeps your deck looking great but also extends its lifespan significantly. A well-maintained wood deck can last 15 to 20 years or more.
