COMPOSITE DECKS WINNIPEG

Composite Decks From Neil and Nick's Landscaping Are an Eco-Friendly Solution to All Your Decking Needs!

Deciding on the right materials for your new deck can be challenging. Wood looks beautiful and is a classic choice, but cutting down trees is not the most environmentally-friendly option. Using more sustainable materials might be the answer. A composite deck is preferable because it is made from reclaimed wood flakes and recycled plastics, making it more sustainable than traditional materials.

First, here are the benefits of getting a composite deck from Neil and Nick's Landscaping:

More sustainable than wood
Less likely to fade
Resists water damage

When it comes to new decks, wood is the most common building material. There is no denying its classic beauty and availability, but wood also comes at great cost to the environment. One alternative to consider is a composite deck. Built to emulate the look of wood, composite decks enhance the appearance of your outdoor space, but they also use more sustainable materials which last almost twice as long as wood. That means less product is needed down the road to repair and replace an older deck, saving you money and saving the environment. Are you ready to experience the benefits of composite decking? Consult with expert hardscaping contractors to ensure your project is done with the highest level of craftsmanship and sustainability. Call Neil and Nick's Landscaping for a quote today.

What Is a Composite Deck, and How Can One From Neil and Nick's
Landscaping Benefit You?

Composite is an outdoor flooring and decking material made from wood fibres, recycled plastic, and binding agents. This composite material imitates the look and feel of traditional wood decking. It offers several benefits, making it a popular outdoor living choice.

Composite decking is typically made from a blend of wood fibres, often sourced from reclaimed or recycled wood, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic. The mixture combines bonding agents, additives, and pigments to create a durable and weather-resistant material.

There's a reason composite decks are becoming one of Winnipeg's most popular options. Here are the benefits of choosing a composite deck for your outdoor space:

Low Maintenance: One of the most significant advantages of composite decks is their low maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional wood decks that require regular staining, sealing, and sanding to maintain their appearance, composite decks do not need this upkeep. They resist fading, staining, and mould growth. That means you spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Durability: Composite decking is highly durable and resists common issues that affect traditional wood decks, such as rot, splintering, and insect damage. It is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, including extreme heat, cold, and moisture, making it suitable for year-round use.
Aesthetics: Composite decks come in several colours, textures, and finishes that look like natural wood. They offer the warmth and beauty of wood without the inherent drawbacks, providing a polished and timeless look for your outdoor area.
Eco-Friendly: Many composite decking materials incorporate recycled content, making them a sustainable choice. Additionally, their long lifespan and low maintenance reduce their environmental impact compared to traditional wood decks.
Safety: Another great quality about composite decks is their slip-resistant surfaces, making them a safer option, especially in wet conditions. This feature is particularly important for areas around pools or during rain showers and bitter-cold Winnipeg winters.
Longevity: Composite decking has a longer lifespan compared to wood. Many manufacturers offer warranties that can last for several decades. In turn, it ensures your investment in a composite deck provides lasting value.
Versatility: Versatility is one of the biggest draws of composite material. It could be used for various purposes beyond decks, including patios, balconies, and cladding for the exterior of your home. Its versatility makes it suitable for multiple design and landscaping ideas.

Overall, there are several reasons to choose composite decks over their counterparts. Composite decks offer low maintenance, durability, aesthetics, eco-friendliness, safety features, longevity, and versatility. These benefits make them great for any space. If you want your Winnipeg deck to last for years, go with composite. Additionally, consider complementing your outdoor area with well-crafted fences that enhance both privacy and aesthetic appeal, creating a cohesive and functional outdoor environment.
