This backyard had a small covered patio and a lot of bare dirt. Grace Construction built a composite deck that adds a large, usable outdoor area — and will not ask for a weekend of staining every year.
Low maintenance by design
Wood decks in Texas sun need regular cleaning and sealing or they grey, split and splinter. Composite boards do not need staining or sealing — an occasional wash is enough to keep them looking right.
- No staining or sealing
- No splinters underfoot
- Resists rot and insects
- Consistent colour board to board
Comfortable for everyday use
No splinters means bare feet and kids are fine. The boards are consistent, without the knots and checks of natural wood, so the surface stays smooth.
Space that gets used
By extending past the patio cover, the deck adds a sunny area for a grill or chairs alongside the shaded part. The angled corner softens the shape and makes the deck feel less boxy.

Frequently asked questions
Does composite decking get hot?
Composite can get warm in direct sun, especially darker colours. Lighter shades and partial shade help; many owners pair the deck with a patio cover.
How long does a composite deck last?
Composite boards are designed for long service lives and are backed by manufacturer warranties; the framing underneath is built to match.
Is composite more expensive than wood?
Up front, typically yes. Over time the savings on staining, sealing and board replacement narrow the gap.
