Determine the Type of Wood You'd Like to Use
When considering a wood deck for your Maryland home, there are several factors to consider. First, the type of wood should be chosen carefully. Pressure-treated pine is the most common and economical choice, but other woods such as cedar and redwood are also popular. Each type of wood has different qualities and benefits, as well as aesthetic appeal, so it is important to research the pros and cons of each one.
Determine the Size of Your Deck
The size of the deck is also an important factor. Decks come in many shapes and sizes and can be customized to fit the size of the area. However, it is important to make sure there is enough space for people to move comfortably and for furniture to be placed. Additionally, the size of the deck will also determine the amount of material that will be needed for the project, which will affect the cost of your project.
Determine the Design of Your Deck
The design of the deck should be considered carefully. Decks can be simple or elaborate, and the design should match the overall look of your Maryland home. There are many options available, from traditional railings to more modern and creative designs. It is important to consider the space and how it will be used when selecting the design.

Pre-Construction Preparation
Once the type of wood, size, and design have been decided, the next step is to prepare the area. This includes clearing away any debris, leveling the ground, and installing a solid foundation. It is important to use the right materials and techniques to ensure the deck is structurally sound and will last for many years.

Care of Your New Wood Deck
Once the deck is built, it is important to protect and maintain the wood. This includes cleaning the deck regularly and using a sealant to protect it from the elements. Additionally, it is important to check the deck annually for any signs of wear and tear and to make sure it is in good condition.
