Small landscaping projects

[KennyG]

The good plastic decking is great stuff (I have Azek) but it's very expensive. Figure about $7/square foot. That's compared to a little over $1/ ft2 for treated pine and $2 to $3 for cedar. I have a large deck and spent a small fortune for it, but it's stain resistant, snow just slides off and it only requires pressure washing a couple of times a year.

They always use it on the TV shows because it costs more and is very profitable. Wood decks are still much more common in the US because of the price.

It's just starting to become popular here but very cost prohibitive. For example, last time I checked, per metre was around $100!
Hardwood decks are also getting very popular as the cost is reduced - yellow bilau being the cheapest, with Ipe giving the best appearance but highest cost.
