Custom Decks

Both composite and PVC decking come in a wide range of colors, allowing you to customize your deck's appearance. From classic tones to contemporary hues, you can find the perfect shade to match your design preferences. Many of our clients that have chosen TimberTech composite decking recently have liked colors including Coconut Husk, Dark Cocoa and Sea Salt Grey. The Integrated Outdoor Designs designer will be happy to bring various color samples to your appointment.

Composite and PVC decking materials offer the same elegance as wood but with lower maintenance requirements. They resist fading, staining, and rotting, making them an excellent choice for those seeking durability without the hassle. Composite decking also has a longer warranty period - for example, 25 - 30+ years, and does not require staining every few years like natural wood. Certain composite decking materials are also rated as cooler to the touch than traditional composite decking.

Deck material can be various types of real wood including Treated Pine and Cedar. Treated Pine is often an affordable and beautiful choice. Cedar is a popular natural wood premium choice due to its comfort on bare feet, beauty and durability. Cedar can also works well with larger spans. Redwood, IPE and other hardwoods also make excellent selections.

Our handrail options range from classic to modern, adding safety and visual appeal to your deck. Whether you prefer traditional wooden balusters or sleek metal designs, we'll help you choose a handrail style that complements your deck's overall aesthetic. Decks greater than 30" elevation require a handrail. Post and rail materials can include treated pine, cedar, and redwood. Balusters can be treated pine, cedar, redwood, and aluminum. Designs can also incorporate composite top caps. Be sure to ask about glass and cable railing as well!

Covered decks offer protection from the elements, allowing you to enjoy outdoor moments even during inclement weather. They can extend your outdoor season, providing a cozy space for relaxation, gatherings, and entertainment.

Depending on the amount of light you'd like on your deck, you can choose various types of covers including arbors & pergolas (which allow for more light) or solid covers with traditional roofing materials. Covers can be tied-in to your home or stand-alone.

HOAs in San Antonio typically approve custom decks after we work together to submit required paperwork. This typically includes completing an application, submitting drawings and answering potential additional questions such as color. The HOA meeting to approve projects typically occurs each month.

Finding the right deck size involves considering your outdoor space, usage needs, and aesthetic preferences. Our team at Integrated Outdoor Designs will guide you through a thoughtful assessment to help you choose the dimensions that perfectly fit your lifestyle.

There are many design choices involved in the initial appointment including size, location, materials and colors. We've found that when all homeowners are part of the creation of their project, they:

• Are much more satisfied with the design
• Can easily discuss changes to size, location, materials and colors
• Find a price that works for their budget
• Participate in an appointment that is creative, efficient and fun!

We request an initial appointment timeline of two hours. While it may not take this long, we always strive to accomplish & you should expect certain procedures that happen at the initial appointment:

• Your designer will walk the space with you.
• He or she listens to understand how you envision using your outdoor living area.
• We will take detailed measurements of the current existing structures and those areas in which we will build.
• The team member will then sit with you all inside, at a table, to discuss design choices, pros and cons of each and make recommendations for your unique home, goals and budget.
• As you make choices, the designer will create detailed drawings of the project and price based on your selections.

We do not give 'ballpark' estimates, price per square foot or price ranges as there are a variety of factors that go into designing and pricing your project.

For example, your home may be on a slope - impacting deck height or concrete depth.

The material choices you make, even down to the color, can also significantly influence price. For example, composite wood may be more expensive but has a longer life than natural wood.

Even factors such as location of gates and access to the property can impact pricing. For example, the price to pump concrete in varies from the price it costs when material must be hand-carted or carried into the backyard.

For this reason, we design and price projects at the property with all homeowners' present.

We love projects of all sizes! Our project minimum investment is typically $3,000 (for wood) and $5,500 (for concrete). As quality is our number one value, most of our work comes from repeat clients and referrals - so many clients have chosen to complete multiple projects with us and at higher investment levels. We are also happy to phase out your project(s), if that is best for you. No matter the size, we believe you will be creating additional property value and meaningful space for your family to make joyful memories.
