Wood Decking in Miami, FL
Thinking about building a deck the old-school way—with real wood? We get it. There’s something about the natural look, the smell of fresh-cut lumber, the warmth under your feet. At WD Deck Builder Miami, we’ve been building beautiful, long-lasting wood decks all across Miami, FL since 2008. From front porches to backyard hangout spots, we know how to make wood work in Miami’s wild weather.
We’ve built cedar decks in Coconut Grove, pressure-treated decks in Kendall, and redwood beauties in Coral Gables. Whether you want a simple square space or a custom wraparound with stairs and shade, we can design and build it with the strength and charm of real wood.
Why Choose Wood for Your Deck?
Wood decking is classic for a reason. It’s natural, affordable, and easy to work with. It gives your backyard a warm, welcoming vibe that composite can’t quite match. And if you’re the kind of person who likes things that age with character—wood’s for you.
Here’s why homeowners in Miami still love natural wood decks:
- ✅ Warm, natural appearance that blends with your home and yard
- ✅ Customizable — stain it, paint it, seal it however you want
- ✅ Easier to modify or expand later if needed
- ✅ Budget-friendly compared to composite or exotic materials
- ✅ Environmentally friendly if sustainably sourced
Wood gives you that cozy, real-deck feel. It’s a little more work, but for many people, it’s totally worth it.
Types of Wood Decking We Offer
Not all wood is created equal. We help you pick the right material based on your style, budget, and how much maintenance you’re willing to do. Here’s what we build with most often:
🟩 Pressure-Treated Pine
- Most budget-friendly
- Treated to resist rot and bugs
- Can be stained or painted any color
- Needs sealing every 1–2 years in Miami climate
Great choice for folks who want that wood look without a huge price tag.
🟧 Cedar
- Naturally resists insects and rot
- Soft reddish tone and smooth grain
- Holds up well in humidity
- Can be left to gray naturally or sealed to keep color
Cedar is perfect if you want a softer, classic deck feel with more durability than pine.
🟥 Redwood
- Premium look with rich color
- High resistance to decay and moisture
- Long lifespan when maintained
- Costs more but turns heads
Redwood’s a favorite for luxury decks around pools, in lush landscapes, or when you just want to go all in.
Wood Decking & Miami Weather
Miami is hot, humid, salty, and sunny—a tough combo for outdoor wood. That’s why how we build matters just as much as what we build with.
At WD Deck Builder Miami, we:
- Use rust-resistant fasteners to fight corrosion
- Seal all cut ends and edges
- Space boards correctly to handle expansion
- Apply breathable, UV-resistant sealants
- Reinforce structures for hurricane winds
Whether you’re in South Miami, Wynwood, or near the bay, we make sure your wood deck can handle the elements.

- Basic backyard decks
- Wraparound porches
- Multi-level platforms
- Built-in planters and benches
- Covered decks and pergolas
- Poolside decks

- Stain it if you want to refresh the color or protect it from sun

FAQs About Wood Decking in Miami
How long do wood decks last?
With good care, a wood deck in Miami can last 15–25 years. Cedar and redwood generally last longer than pressure-treated pine.
Is wood more affordable than composite?
Yes. Wood decking is typically cheaper upfront. Long term, composite can save you money on maintenance—but nothing beats wood for that classic feel.
What’s the best wood for humid climates?
Cedar and redwood are both naturally rot-resistant. We seal and treat pressure-treated pine to help it perform better in Miami’s humidity.
Can you build wood decks around pools?
Yes, but we recommend sealing it with non-slip finishes and staying on top of maintenance. Pool decks get wet daily, so care is key.
Do you offer staining and sealing services?
Absolutely. We offer full deck staining and sealing for all the wood decks we build—plus for decks built by others if they need help.
