Project Overview
The homeowners in Columbia, Maryland wanted a backyard retreat that combined modern aesthetics, durability, and low-maintenance performance. Their existing outdoor space lacked the functionality and visual appeal they desired for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying their beautiful wooded backyard.
The Final Cut designed and built a custom composite deck featuring premium TimberTech decking, contrasting Deckorators accents, and modern railing systems to create a stunning outdoor living area that can be enjoyed for years to come.

The Challenge
The homeowners were looking for an outdoor living solution that would:
- Eliminate ongoing deck maintenance
- Provide ample space for entertaining family and friends
- Complement the natural beauty of their backyard
- Deliver long-term durability against Maryland weather
- Create a clean, modern appearance
They wanted the warmth and appearance of wood without the constant staining, sealing, and upkeep associated with traditional lumber decking.
Our Solution
The Final Cut installed a custom composite deck featuring:
TimberTech Sea Salt Gray Decking
The primary deck surface utilizes TimberTech composite decking in the color Sea Salt Gray. This light gray tone creates a bright, contemporary appearance while offering superior resistance to fading, staining, moisture, and insects.
Deckorators Dark Slate Accent Border
To enhance the visual appeal of the deck, Deckorators decking in the color Dark Slate was incorporated around the perimeter. This picture-frame border creates contrast and defines the outdoor living space with a custom, high-end finish.
Modern Aluminum Rail System
The deck features white posts and rails paired with black aluminum balusters, providing safety without obstructing views of the surrounding landscape.
Low-Maintenance Design
By utilizing premium composite materials, the homeowners can spend more time enjoying their deck and less time maintaining it.
