Thinking about adding a deck to your home? You’ve probably seen the term composite decking come up. So, what is it—and why do so many Central Texas homeowners love it? At Sagamore Fence & Deck, we’re proud to be a Trex Pro Gold installer, specializing in the nation’s leading brand of composite decking. Here’s what makes it one of the best materials you can choose for your outdoor space.
What Is Composite Decking Made Of?
Composite decking is made from recycled wood fibers and plastic. This mix gives you the natural look of wood with the lasting strength of synthetic materials. Unlike regular lumber, composite boards resist rot, warping, and splintering—even in Texas heat and humidity.
Trex, the main brand we install, is a pioneer in this category. Their decking is made from 95% recycled materials, which makes it eco-friendly and durable. Each board is designed to look like real wood, with rich colors and natural textures that hold up year after year.
How Long Does Composite Decking Last?
A major reason homeowners choose composite decking is its long lifespan. So, how long does composite decking last? When installed correctly and maintained properly, a Trex deck can last 25 to 30 years or more. That’s nearly twice as long as most wood decks, which often need replacing after 10 to 15 years.
Composite decking doesn’t need to be stained, sealed, or sanded. A quick wash with soap and water keeps it looking great. Less maintenance means more time to enjoy your backyard—and less time doing chores. At Sagamore, we believe anything built right should stay that way.
How Much Is Composite Decking?
Next, let’s talk about cost. Homeowners often ask, how much is composite decking? While composite materials cost more upfront than wood, they pay off in the long run. Because you don’t need to buy stain or pay for maintenance, the total lifetime cost is often lower.
Pricing depends on deck size, layout, railing choices, and the Trex product line you select. On average, a professionally built composite deck runs $60–$120 per square foot. As a Trex Pro Gold installer, Sagamore offers competitive pricing, exclusive warranties, and expert installation. That means your investment lasts decades and looks beautiful doing it.
