Composite and natural wood decks, pergolas, and outdoor structures designed for life on the coast.

Your Backyard. Transformed.

A well-designed deck extends your living space outdoors, adding square footage where you spend warm-weather evenings. For Eastern NC homeowners, a deck is more than an upgrade — it's a lifestyle change. Cookouts on the coast, morning coffee with a backyard view, evenings under the stars.

Hayward Outdoor builds custom decks from scratch or rebuilds existing structures. We design for your specific yard, your home's architectural style, and your budget. Every build is permitted, inspected, and guaranteed to meet NC structural requirements. We use composite materials from brands like Trex and TimberTech that stand up to decades of coastal weather without constant maintenance.

Deck FAQ

What deck material is best for Eastern NC?

Composite decking (Trex, TimberTech, Fiberon) is our most popular choice for coastal NC. It resists moisture, salt air, insects, and UV without the annual maintenance of wood. Pressure-treated lumber is a solid budget option but requires regular sealing.

How much does a custom deck cost in Jacksonville NC?

Deck costs vary widely based on size, material, and features. A basic 200 sq ft pressure-treated deck typically starts around $6,000–$9,000 installed. Composite decks of similar size run $10,000–$18,000. We provide a free detailed estimate.

Do I need a permit to build a deck in NC?

In most cases, yes. Any deck over 200 sq ft or elevated more than 30 inches off the ground requires a building permit in NC. We handle the entire permitting process for you.

How long does deck construction take?

Most decks take 3–7 business days to build depending on size and complexity. Permitting can add 1–3 weeks to the overall timeline depending on county.

Can you add a pergola or cover to my deck?

Yes — we regularly add pergolas, shade structures, and awnings to decks. Many clients combine a composite deck with a motorized awning or screen enclosure for a full outdoor room.
