- Creating privacy between levels for different user groups
- Improving drainage and airflow
- Enhancing property value through architectural appeal
- Customizing to fit the unique needs and style of each homeowner, ensuring your deck is both functional and visually appealing
A well built deck, constructed with high quality materials, creates the perfect outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining.
Whether you want a series of cascading platforms or tiered wraparound levels, our team designs every project with usability and aesthetics in mind.

Material Options for Multi-level Decks
We help you select the ideal material combination for both performance and aesthetics, focusing on the highest quality materials, a wide range of decking materials, and sustainable materials across all levels:
- Wood Deck Installation – Timeless charm and warmth; best for natural backyards with proper sealing. Wood decks offer natural beauty, strength, and customization options.
- Cedar Decks – Lightweight, durable, and resistant to splintering and cracking, cedar decks provide an aesthetically pleasing option with a lifespan of 15 to 30 years, making them ideal for Austin’s climate.
- Composite Decking – Durable, splinter-free, and perfect for low-maintenance lifestyles. Composite decks use advanced composite decking materials that require less maintenance, are eco-friendly, and offer long-lasting performance.
- Mixed Materials – Combine wood rails with composite surfaces or use stone/stucco bases for visual separation.
Material choice can vary by tier — for instance, use slip-resistant pool deck surfaces for lower areas, and rooftop-compatible materials for upper stories.
Understanding the costs involved is important, as selecting the right deck material is a significant investment in your home.
We guide you through every step to ensure you choose the highest quality decking materials for your project.
