There are lots of new decking products on the market, and deck building methods continue to evolve and improve with new technology. But, if you want easy-care decking and a low-maintenance outdoor living space you will need to carefully consider the size & shape of your new deck, the best materials for your new deck, and the best location for your new deck.
We know a new outdoor living space is a big investment, and we don’t want to see you waste time building a new deck with the wrong materials or money on a new outdoor living space that doesn’t add the most value to your home and lifestyle. This is why we are sharing this free guide to building a new deck in the Lehigh Valley:
The first and most crucial factor to consider when selecting a location for your deck is its purpose. If your new deck will be primarily used for dining and outdoor entertaining then you need to consider adding an outdoor kitchen or building your new deck off of your indoor kitchen. If your new deck will be used more for relaxation, meditation, and reading a location with minimal distractions would probably work better, perhaps off of a bedroom or living room.
We know that you want to avoid wasting time, money, and space when it comes to building your new outdoor living space. This is why our design-first approach lays your entire project out in one comprehensive master plan complete with a custom 3-dimensional video featuring life-like imagery that will help you understand how each feature of your space will be used and how you will interact with the layout.

For most homeowners, composite decking is the best option to select when building a new deck in the Lehigh Valley. But, if you hire a deck contractor that only builds wood decks they are probably not going to offer you this low-maintenance option.
