Does Not Rot
Putting a wood deck means that the wood is exposed to the elements. In as little as a few months, the brand-new deck may start to fade, break down coatings and the deterioration process begins. This will increase over time and overall cost of this kind of deck based on upkeep, maintenance, life cycle and replacement costs are much higher in the long run than the cost of composite decks. Using a composite deck does generally costs more initially, However, the composite deck costs when compared to traditional wood decks, are generally lower because once installed, the deck will not need to be replaced for a much longer life cycle compared to a wooden deck.

Another advantage of this kind of deck is that it is easy to install. These materials are much lighter than standard deck materials. This means the material can get it in place quickly and easier to handle and By The Blade Lawn & Landscape follows local standards of care, install and ordinances when installing composite decks.
The composite deck, while lighter and more durable, has the advantage of looking like wood.
