Low-maintenance, flexible, and modern decking ideas, combined with innovative materials introducing new 'green' options, make open space more beautiful and responsive to today's demands.
Fremont, CA: A beautiful landscape is essential, and the right decking choice can transform your patio or garden into a modern oasis. With ever-evolving trends, new decking ideas prioritize both aesthetics and functionality.
Not surprisingly, composites are one of the most exciting things in decking today. Composite decking combines wood fibers and plastic to make incredibly durable decking that requires much less maintenance than traditional wood. The materials are resistant to weathering, fading, staining, and scratching. Finishes and colors vary; composite decking can often look like natural wood while maintaining exceptional durability. This goes hand in glove with the call for sustainable living, as most composite products result from recycled materials.
Modular Decking Systems: A new, different way to deck is through modular decking systems. These systems allow the homeowner to create custom designs with interlocking tiles or panels, possibly with inbuilt drainage and lighting. These systems are flexible, easy to install, and ideal for those experimenting with various layouts without being committed to any permanent design.
Mix it with mixed materials for a unique and updated design on your decking. Mixing wood with other materials, like metal, concrete, or stone, creates a visual contrast and texture to your outdoor space. A wooden deck can be of wood with accents of metal railing, while a concrete base can host wooden planks.
