Choosing The Right Decking Materia
Composite Decking
Elevate your outdoor space with our top-tier composite decking—the perfect blend of style, durability, and ease. At Echelon Deck Group, we love building composite decks that transform backyards into stunning retreats.
Why choose composite? It’s low-maintenance, so you can spend more time enjoying your deck and less time staining or sealing. Plus, it’s backed by impressive manufacturer warranties of 25-30 years (depending on the brand and series), giving you peace of mind through Illinois’ toughest weather.
With a wide range of solid and multi-color options, from sleek grays to rich wood tones, your deck will look custom-crafted to match your home’s vibe.
Cedar Lumber Decking
Discover the charm of cedar decking, our mid-tier option that brings natural warmth and elegance to your backyard. At Echelon Deck Group, we craft cedar decks that strike the perfect balance of beauty and durability, making them a favorite for Illinois homeowners.
Cedar’s rich grain and inviting hues create a cozy, classic look that complements any home. To keep it glowing through our wild Midwest weather, a simple stain, sealant, or paint every 1-2 years does the trick—depending on sun exposure, foot traffic, and how much you love hosting barbecues!
Treated Lumber Decking
Looking for a budget-friendly way to upgrade your outdoor space? Our pressure-treated lumber decking is the perfect choice! At Echelon Deck Group, we build these decks to deliver sturdy, reliable performance without breaking the bank, ideal for Illinois homes.
Pressure-treated wood offers a classic look and solid durability, standing up to backyard barbecues and family fun.
To keep it looking fresh through our Midwest winters and summers, a quick stain, sealant, or paint every 1-2 years is all it needs—depending on weather exposure and how much you use it.
Choosing The Right Decking Materia

Will my deck hold up in Illinois weather?
Absolutely! We build with materials and techniques designed for Chicagoland’s wild weather swings—freezing winters, rainy springs, and hot summers. Every deck meets local codes for safety and longevity.
Do you take care of permits?
