At Summertime Deck & Dock, we know your outdoor space is your personal paradise. That’s why we team up with Trex decking for decks and docks that make you feel like you’re on vacation every day (no plane ticket required!).
Trex, one of the leading composite decking brands, combines durability and elegance with a splash of eco-friendly magic, helping us create spaces that are as easy to maintain as they are to enjoy. So, whether you dream of barefoot mornings on the dock or sunset gatherings on the deck, let’s make it happen.
What is Composite Decking?
Say goodbye to splinters, rotting wood, and weekend staining marathons with Trex deck boards. Composite decking is the ultimate game-changer for outdoor spaces, combining the beauty of natural wood with the durability of modern engineering. Made from a clever mix of recycled wood fibers and plastics, it’s designed to withstand the elements while maintaining its sleek, polished look.
Unlike traditional wood, composite materials shrug off moisture, resist fading, and won’t crack under pressure (or Florida’s blazing sun). Because it’s low-maintenance, long-lasting, and eco-friendly, you can spend more time enjoying your outdoor living space and less time worrying about upkeep. Sound like your kind of upgrade? Let’s dive into why Trex takes composite decking to the next level!
