This is a new deck that we recently completed in Excelsior. We removed the existing deck and expanded it and changed the layout. The new deck has a full set of stairs. We used ironwood (ipe) decking and a cedar rail. The trellis is all cedar also. We wrapped all of the columns in Hardi siding with Azek trim boards. The curved front was a great addition to the deck and really brought everything together.

We just finished up updating a deck in Chanhassen. The structure was in great shape, but the cedar decking had seen better days. We removed the cedar decking and the entire set of stairs. The stairs were a little bouncy and they were not wide enough to accommodate the new Trex rail which was mounted inside of the stringers for added strength and great looks. The upper deck used two colors of decking. Trexx Accents Saddle was the main portion of the deck, with a picture frame around the perimeter of 2 rows of Trex Accents Madeira with a row of Trex Accents Saddle sandwiched between them. The end result was a great looking deck that will last for many years to come.
