Building a deck takes more than just good materials. Advances in engineering and design, along with new synthetic decking, mean you can choose from a wide variety of options. Choosing your decking material and color is only the first step. You also pick the deck’s size, its shape, the stair location, and the railing type and color. Our team helps you navigate these decisions using your property and lifestyle as a guide. We bring years of experience, so the personal service you get from Archadeck of Austin, a custom design & build firm, stands out from your first call through final clean up and beyond.

Low-Maintenance Composite Decks

low maintenance PVC and composite deck

Low-maintenance decking from brands such as AZEK and Timbertech never needs staining or sealing, but will require occasional cleaning. PVC and composite decking won’t split, crack, or warp. Besides being easy to maintain, these materials offer outstanding design versatility. For example, synthetic decking can be bent and shaped for dramatic curved picture framing, detailed inlays, and patterns throughout your deck. Leading low-maintenance decking suppliers provide extensive warranties and back the quality of their products, giving you peace of mind.

Composite decking performs well in Austin’s hot, sunny climate, helping you avoid the fading and warping you may see with wood. We recommend brands that manufacture materials to last through tough Texas summers, protecting your investment for years. Choosing a low-maintenance deck means you spend less time on upkeep and more time enjoying your deck space with family and friends.

Archadeck of Austin creates truly unique decks. Our projects not only reach your specific functional needs and blend with your home and landscape, but also earn attention because they set your property apart.

custom deck with pergola and staircases with privacy railings

Your deck design goes well beyond choosing a decking type. Customizing your deck brings important design choices like staircase position and style, railing color and type, skirting, and any custom additions. Add traditional lattice skirting to hide under a raised deck, choose wide fanning stairs to open into your backyard, or add picture framing, parting boards, and inlays for personalized touches.

We start every new project by considering the architectural styles common throughout Central Texas. We blend those influences with your preferences so that your deck fits smoothly with your home. We suggest ways to maximize shade, airflow, and views—crucial details for the Austin landscape. Consider adding built-in seating, planters, and storage so that your outdoor space serves your needs and style.

We offer custom planters, benches, and privacy walls. Add a retractable awning for flexible shade or build a pergola for partial cover and a clear division of space. For even more functionality, include an outdoor kitchen, firepit, or fireplace right on your new deck. Archadeck of Austin works with you to build a deck loaded with features and details you may not have thought possible.

Wooden Decks

Wooden decks remain a classic choice for deck builders in Austin. Wood offers beauty and strength for your project. We provide select-grade pressure-treated pine, along with cedar, Tigerwood, Ipe, and other premium hardwoods for our deck designs.

Many homeowners in and around Austin prefer the look of hardwoods, which integrate well with the area’s mature landscapes. Our team recommends woods that endure Central Texas weather and offer resistance to heat and humidity. If you want a deck that feels timeless, natural wood brings warmth and character that suit homes throughout the region.

Wood decks do require regular maintenance with stain or sealant. Depending on your property, if your deck sits in full sun during most of the day or rests in a wooded lot, you may need more or less upkeep.

Railing

Railing choices make a big impact on your finished project. Brands like Deckorators and Fortress offer iron, aluminum, metal, cable, and glass options. Archadeck of Austin can design and fabricate custom railings for a truly unique look as part of your deck build.

Strong, stylish railings matter for any project, especially on Austin hillsides overlooking the Hill Country or around raised spaces with views of area lakes and greenbelts. We help you choose railings that meet local safety codes and match your home’s architecture. Whether you want modern cable rail or a classic wood look, we’ll guide you to solutions that last.

Pergolas

Pergolas transform your backyard by creating partial shade while letting in breezes, making them a great fit for Austin’s sunny weather. These structures add architectural distinction to your deck and provide versatile spaces for outdoor gatherings. Austin homeowners often use pergolas to define dining areas or add privacy without blocking sunlight. Choose from a range of finishes and materials to bring out the best in your deck’s design.

Privacy

Privacy walls and screens matter in many Austin neighborhoods, where houses often sit close together. By adding a custom privacy feature, you can block unwanted views, increase shade, and create a more private space for guests. We design privacy features that coordinate with your deck and improve your comfort, while meeting local guidelines for height and placement.

Lighting

Lighting ensures your deck stays inviting long after sunset. Well-placed lights add ambiance and improve safety on steps and walkways. In Austin, we often use low-voltage or solar lighting to reduce power use and match the area's energy-conscious approach. Tailor your lighting to highlight design details or set the mood for evening entertaining.

Permitting & Local Code Considerations in Austin

Building a deck in Austin requires careful attention to city regulations and permitting standards. Local codes set requirements for deck height, railing design, set-back distances, and approved building materials to ensure safety and consistency. We stay current with updates to these rules, making sure every design meets municipal guidelines from initial concept to project completion.

When your deck project aligns with Austin’s permitting process, you avoid delays and will pass inspections more smoothly. Following city protocols helps your new deck stand the test of time and supports your family’s comfort, whether you’re inside Austin city limits or in a nearby community. We account for local requirements so your outdoor project remains worry-free.
