New Construction and Design

Our designers and carpenters here at All Decked Out have been creating some beautiful architecture on new decks this season. Below is a work in progress:

Above we've created a structure that not only serves as an air vent cover, but as a functioning bar and storage space as well.
Above again we have covered up air vents and simultaneously added storage cabinets and a small herb garden all in once beautiful streamlined piece.

Happy Labor Day!

As the Summer months draw to a close, we here at All Decked Out thought we would share a few striking images of life that we captured throughout the season:

No Stain, No Gain

We have been sweating it out all Summer long here at All Decked Out, to ensure that all of our clients' gardens are getting the best care and maintenance they deserve.

Over the past few weeks we have been power-washing our wooden decks and planters to prepare for staining. 



Staining the wood on our clients' decks yields a number of positive results. First, it is aesthetically pleasing, and hides any flaws in the wood. The stain also helps to protect the wood from the wear and tear of the sun in the summer, as well as the rain, ice, and wind in the fall and winter.



The stain we use is Penofin Verde, which is also great for the environment, as well as the wood we are working with. It is an environmentally friendly stain, made and packaged with all non-toxic materials, safe for use around animals and children.

We've added our special ingredients to the mix, consisting of a lot of sweat and care, as well as a few splinters along the way, and the end result looks pretty satisfying.
