Trex railing

York Design Group was recently commissioned to build Trex railing samples at several of the J&W Lumber locations in San Diego county. J&W is one of our main vendors, and they specialize in outdoor construction materials: http://www.jwredwood.com/

Trex Fencing

We are in the middle of a large fencing project at a condominium complex where the homeowners opted to use the new Trex Seclusions fencing. It is made the same as their composite decking and holds the same 25 year warranty. It is the perfect material for this project as it has a stunning look and requires no painting or maintenance.
These sturdy fences are seamless (no cracks between fence boards) and are completed with custom-made Trex gates.

Rooftop decks

Adding a deck is one of the best ways to turn a flat rooftop into a perfect outdoor setting. We used Trex decking and unique construction to create an ideal jacuzzi space on an otherwise unusable area.
Trex holds up against water, sun, and traffic better than wood and with virtually no maintenance.

Balconies: a deck upstairs and a covered patio below




Adding a balcony off of an upstairs room creates two spaces, the deck above, and the new room-feel of the area beneath. This deck was built to maximize the view out of the master bedroom. Lighting was added to the underside to help create an outdoor dining area. We used Trex decking and railing with tempered glass panels.


Built-in benches and planters


Some great accents to any deck are seating and flower beds, so why not build them as part of the deck? We built this low-level Trex deck to have a permanent, peaceful setting. The curved bench has trap doors for storage underneath. The fully functional planters include irrigation and lighting. Both the bench and the planters are trimmed with the decking material for consistency.

Tigerwood decking


We recently resurfaced an upstairs balcony for a customer with tigerwood, named for the dark streaks that run through this beautiful tan decking material. Tigerwood is classified as a hardwood, so rather than painting or staining it, we applied an oil finish that brings out the color of the decking and preserves it from weathering. Tigerwood is a very durable alternative to typical redwood decking.
