Back To Nature builds TimberTech and Azek decks that withstand Pennsylvania’s weather swings—from heavy snow to blazing summer sun. Our crews install decking that looks like wood but performs like high-tech engineered material. We handle every step of your project carefully, from precise measurements to tight fastening and clean finishing touches.
The result is a deck that fits your home perfectly and stands strong for years without the constant work real wood demands.
What Are TimberTech and Azek Decks?
TimberTech: Engineered Composite Decking
TimberTech decking blends recycled wood fibers with advanced polymers, creating a composite material that feels solid and natural underfoot. Each board is wrapped in a durable cap that seals the wood and polymer core, shielding it from moisture and everyday wear. The surface texture captures the subtle grains and patterns of real wood, offering an authentic look without the imperfections of natural lumber.
Azek: Cellular PVC Decking with Superior Water Resistance
Azek decks are made from 100% cellular PVC, a lightweight yet firm plastic material. Unlike wood or composites, Azek’s cellular structure creates a moisture-proof barrier that repels water completely, eliminating issues like rot, mold, or insect damage. The boards have a smooth, consistent finish that resists scratches and holds color evenly thanks to the uniform plastic composition.
