Go Green This Summer with Eco-Friendly Composite Decking

May 22, 2024

As summer approaches, many homeowners in Georgia are looking to enhance their outdoor spaces while also making environmentally conscious choices. Composite decking offers a perfect solution, combining sustainability with durability and curb appeal. Unlike traditional wood decking, composite decking is made from a blend of recycled materials, including plastic and wood fibers. This innovative approach not only reduces waste but also provides a high-performance product that stands up to Georgia’s hot and humid climate.

One of the primary environmental benefits of composite decking is its use of recycled materials. By repurposing plastic waste and reclaimed wood, composite decking manufacturers help divert millions of tons of waste from landfills each year. This process not only reduces the demand for virgin materials but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with manufacturing new plastic and lumber. As a result, choosing composite decking contributes to a reduction in deforestation and a lower carbon footprint.

In addition to its sustainable manufacturing process, composite decking offers long-term environmental advantages. Traditional wood decks require regular maintenance, including staining, sealing, and replacing damaged boards, all of which involve the use of chemicals and additional resources. In contrast, composite decking is designed to be low-maintenance and resistant to common issues like rot, mold, and insect damage. This longevity means fewer resources are needed for repairs and replacements over the lifespan of the deck, making it a more sustainable choice in the long run.

Composite decking can be recycled again at the end of its useful life, closing the loop on the product’s life cycle. Many manufacturers have take-back programs, ensuring that old composite boards can be repurposed into new decking materials or other products. This commitment to recycling further enhances the eco-friendliness of composite decking, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.

By choosing composite decking, you can enjoy a beautiful, durable outdoor space while also supporting sustainable practices. This summer, go green with an eco-friendly deck that not only enhances your home but also helps protect the environment. Whether you’re hosting a backyard barbecue or simply relaxing in the sun, you can take pride in knowing that your deck is a testament to responsible and sustainable living.

“We just had Outback do our complete deck teardown and rebuild (adding a covered patio), and we are extremely satisfied with how it turned out! The attention to the details and oversight of the construction teams took extra burden off of us. I can't thank Outback Deck enough for driving the project to completion so smoothly.”

“Outback was great to work with. They were transparent and kept us well-informed from the first sales meeting to completion of the project. The deck and patio they constructed are beautiful. The materials and work are high quality, and well in excess of any building codes. With the composite decking and aluminum railing, we can look forward to many years of enjoyment with little to no maintenance.”

“Absolutely wonderful company to work with!!! The beautiful covered deck they made for us is just stunning. They use the finest craftsmen to complete their projects and their work is good value for the money. I recommend this company fully and enthusiastically.”

Janet H.

“The footings and bracing of the deck support are what impressed us most. BP did an excellent proposal, JR provide excellent follow through and CM kept the project on task. After watching the construction of our new deck, step by step, we could see the extra measures Outback Deck puts in their workmanship. If we ever have an earthquake, we will run to the deck for the safe place.”
