Common Types of Wood Used for Northern Virginia Decks

A wood deck is a beautiful addition for your Springfield, Centreville, Herndon, or other Northern Virginia home. Wood decks give a natural look that blends with the surrounding landscape. Many woods offer enough stability and durability to accommodate your deck needs. Read on for a few common types of wood used for Northern Virginia decks.

  • Among the most popular wood deck materials, cedar is durable, attractive, and light. Offering a high level of resistance to decay, cedar does not splinter often. Cedar needs to be coated regularly to maintain its beauty.
  • Lightweight and among the most affordable deck hardwoods, pine is moderately strong, versatile, and easy to paint.
  • Mahogany features simple elegance, rich color, durability, and minimal splintering.
  • Redwood offers a rich red color that ages to a soft gray. Redwood will naturally resist rot, but should be sealed.
