Natural wood decking

Wood Decks

Wood remains one of the most popular materials for decks. Whether you prefer pressure-treated lumber or something more distinctive, we can build a wood deck designed for your home.

Material guide

Pressure-treated wood decks

A familiar natural finish, shaped around the home and the way the backyard is used.

A wood deck offers the traditional finish many homeowners prefer and can be a more economical alternative to wood-alternative materials. Not all wood decking is created equal. Creative Custom Decks builds with premium KDAT (Kiln Dried After Treatment) deck boards.

Because the lumber is dried after treatment, the deck can be stained or painted right away. Since KDAT boards have already released much of their moisture, they resist much of the cupping, twisting, warping, and shrinking that can occur as ordinary pressure-treated lumber dries.

Designed and built with care

Every deck we build is designed to suit your personal tastes and needs. Once there is a functional working design, we hand-select premium lumber piece by piece so the finished structure looks as considered below the boards as it does on top.
