Why Choose Wood Decking in Phoenix?
While composite and PVC have become popular, many Phoenix homeowners still prefer the look and feel of real wood. There’s something about stepping onto a deck made of cedar or redwood that feels authentic. Plus, wood is versatile — it can be cut, shaped, and stained in countless ways to match your home’s style.
Benefits of a natural wood deck include:
✅ Warm, authentic appearance – Real wood grain gives a look you can’t fully replicate with synthetic boards.
✅ Variety of options – Cedar, redwood, and pressure-treated lumber offer different strengths and styles.
✅ Customizable – Wood takes stains and finishes well, so you can pick the exact shade you like.
✅ Budget flexibility – From affordable pressure-treated decks to high-end hardwoods, wood fits a wide range of budgets.
✅ Repairable – Unlike some synthetics, individual boards can be replaced or refinished.
Wood does require more maintenance than composite, but with proper care — like sealing and staining — it can last for decades and age beautifully.
Types of Wood Decks We Build
We don’t just build one kind of wood deck. We tailor every project to your space, needs, and budget.
Cedar Decks
Cedar is lightweight, naturally resistant to bugs, and has a beautiful reddish tone. A cedar deck works great for homeowners who want beauty without breaking the bank. It smells amazing when freshly cut and weathers gracefully over time.
Redwood Decks
If you want a deck that really stands out, redwood is the way to go. It has deep, rich color and is naturally resistant to rot and decay. It costs more upfront but pays off with its durability and beauty.
Pressure-Treated Decks
For homeowners looking for something affordable and durable, pressure-treated decks are a smart option. They’re treated to resist moisture, insects, and rot — making them popular for families who want function and value without overspending.
Custom Builds
Want something unique? As an experienced wood deck builder AZ families trust, we design everything from simple platforms to wraparounds, multi-level builds, and decks with built-in seating. Wood makes it easy to customize.
How We Build Wood Decks That Last in Phoenix
Phoenix is tough on wood. That’s why we build smarter. Here’s how we do it:
Proper framing – Strong posts and beams to support Arizona’s shifting soil.
Weather-conscious design – Planning for airflow, shade, and sun exposure.
Protective treatments – Using stains and sealers to keep boards from drying out.
High-quality fasteners – Rust-resistant screws and brackets for long-term stability.
Regular maintenance guidance – We don’t just build your deck — we show you how to care for it.
We’ve built natural wood decks across Phoenix — from shady backyards in Camelback East to sunny patios in North Mountain. Each one was made to last and designed to look good for years.
Common Uses for Wood Decks
Backyard Entertaining – Perfect for BBQs, family gatherings, and relaxing evenings.
Poolside Decking – Creates a softer, warmer surface than concrete around pools.
Front Porch Additions – Adds curb appeal and usable space to your home’s entrance.
Multi-Level Decks – Great for sloped yards or homes with walkout basements.
Wood works in almost any design. It’s flexible, affordable, and timeless.
