Frequently Asked Questions

Trex Enhance Basics is the most affordable at $35–$45/sq ft, while Trex Transcend Lineage runs $50–$65/sq ft. A typical 300 sq ft deck costs $10,500–$19,500 installed. Call Hardscape Flow at (619) 375-5217 for a free estimate.
Is Trex decking worth the cost in San Diego?
Yes, Trex composite decking is worth the investment in San Diego. While it costs 30–50% more than pressure-treated wood upfront, it never needs staining, sealing, or sanding. Over 25 years, you save $5,000–$10,000 in maintenance costs. Trex resists San Diego's UV exposure and salt air better than wood, and carries a 25-year warranty.
How long does composite decking last in San Diego?
Trex and TimberTech composite decking lasts 25–50 years in San Diego's climate. The composite material resists UV fading, moisture, and termites — all major problems for wood decks in coastal San Diego. Trex backs their products with a 25-year structural warranty and 25-year fade and stain warranty.
Trex vs wood decking — which is better for San Diego?
Trex composite is better than wood for most San Diego decks. Wood decks require staining every 2–3 years, are vulnerable to termites (a major issue in San Diego), and warp in coastal humidity. Trex requires zero maintenance, resists insects, and maintains its color for decades. Wood is cheaper upfront but costs more long-term.
Does Trex decking get hot in the sun?
Trex decking can get warm in direct San Diego sun, similar to any outdoor surface. Light colors like Foggy Wharf or Pebble Grey stay cooler than dark colors like Lava Rock. Trex's newer Transcend Lineage collection features improved heat reduction. Adding a pergola or shade structure significantly reduces deck surface temperature.
