Lakeway homeowners consistently invest in high-quality outdoor living spaces that match the area’s upscale homes, rolling hills, and lake views. Most projects lean toward premium materials, long-term durability, and a modern aesthetic that holds up to Central Texas heat.

High-End Composite Decking

The most requested options include:

  • Trex Transcend Lineage
  • TimberTech Advanced PVC
  • Fiberon Promenade

Homeowners choose premium composite because it offers:

  • Excellent UV and fade resistance
  • Low maintenance
  • Long warranties (50+ years)
  • Modern color selections

Ipe Hardwood for Luxury Builds

Ipe remains one of the most requested materials for luxury homes near the lake. It’s extremely dense, rot-resistant, and can last 40+ years with proper care. The deep brown tone and smooth grain pair well with the modern architecture found throughout Lakeway.


Framing Options: Composite, Steel, and Fire-Treated Lumber

Because many Lakeway projects are high-end, homeowners sometimes upgrade from standard pressure-treated framing.

Composite or Steel Framing

These framing systems reduce long-term maintenance and eliminate rot issues. They are ideal for:

  • Poolside decks
  • Low-ventilation areas
  • Sloped or shaded yards with moisture

When Fire-Treated Lumber Is Required

Some projects may require fire-treated framing—especially:

  • Elevated decks attached to the home
  • Projects close to property lines
  • Builds subject to stricter HOA rules
  • A project backing up to a greenbelt

This adds safety and ensures compliance with certain Lakeway neighborhoods.
