The Appeal of Natural Wood Decking

Nothing quite matches the natural beauty and warmth of a real wood deck. The grain patterns, rich colors, and authentic texture create an inviting outdoor space that feels connected to nature. Wood decking has been the go-to choice for generations because it delivers classic style and proven performance.

In San Tan Valley, wood decks offer excellent value and versatility. You can stain wood in any color you want or let it weather naturally to a silvery gray. Wood is also easier to work with for custom designs, curves, and unique features. Whether you want a cozy backyard retreat or an expansive entertainment space, wood gives you the flexibility to bring your vision to life.

Choosing the Right Wood for Your Deck

Not all wood is created equal when it comes to deck building. We work with several quality options to match your style and budget:

  • Pressure-treated pine: Most affordable and widely used, treated to resist rot and insects
  • Cedar: Naturally resistant to decay, beautiful color, aromatic scent
  • Redwood: Premium choice with gorgeous red tones and natural durability
  • Tropical hardwoods: Ultra-durable exotic woods like ipe and tigerwood

Each wood type has different characteristics for appearance, longevity, and maintenance needs. Pressure-treated lumber gives you great bang for your buck and can last 15 to 20 years with proper care. Cedar and redwood offer natural beauty and resistance to decay without chemical treatment. Hardwoods provide maximum durability and can last 25 years or more, though they cost more upfront. We help you choose the wood that fits your priorities.

Professional Wood Deck Installation

We have been installing wood decks in San Tan Valley for years, and we know what it takes to build one that lasts. Proper installation makes all the difference between a deck that holds up and one that starts falling apart after a few seasons.

Our process starts with designing your deck layout and selecting the best wood for your needs. We prepare a solid foundation with concrete footings set below the frost line. Then we build a sturdy frame using pressure-treated lumber for the substructure, even if you choose a different wood for the decking surface. This protects the bones of your deck from ground moisture.

We install deck boards with proper spacing for drainage and expansion, using quality fasteners that will not rust or pop up over time. Every board is carefully placed and secured. We finish with railings and stairs that meet safety codes and match your deck perfectly. The result is a beautiful outdoor space built to handle Arizona weather and years of use.

Caring for Your Wood Deck

Wood decks need regular maintenance to stay beautiful and structurally sound. The Arizona sun can be tough on wood, so protection is key. We recommend cleaning your deck twice a year and applying a quality stain or sealant every 2 to 3 years. This prevents UV damage, repels water, and keeps the wood from drying out and cracking.

Maintenance might sound like work, but many homeowners enjoy the process of refreshing their deck each year. It is a chance to inspect for any issues and keep your investment protected. If you prefer a lower-maintenance option, check out our composite deck installation services. We also offer professional staining and sealing if you want to leave the maintenance to us.
