Maintenance by Material
- Composite decking: wash with soap and water once or twice a year; no sealing.
- Treated pine decking: clean and seal every year or two to slow graying and splitting.
- Concrete patios: pressure wash as needed; reseal decorative or stamped surfaces every few years.
- Pavers: top up joint sand and reseal occasionally to discourage weeds and ants.
- Aluminum pergolas: rinse off pollen and dust; little else.
- Cedar pergolas: reapply stain or sealer periodically to hold color.
Designs That Complement Your Home
Low-maintenance does not have to look plain. Composite comes in wood-grain colors, pavers in many shapes and blends, and aluminum pergolas in finishes that match window trim. We pick colors that suit your brick or siding so the backyard feels connected to the house. For ideas, see our Nettleton hardscape patio page.
A Simple Seasonal Care Plan
- Spring: wash off winter grime and the yellow pollen layer; check fasteners and railings.
- Summer: keep gutters on covers clear; trim plants away from structures for airflow.
- Fall: sweep leaves before they stain surfaces; clean fire features.
- Winter: drain outdoor sinks and disconnect hoses before hard freezes.
Our fall exterior checklist covers the rest of the house too.
Dependable Building Practices
Maintenance is also about what you cannot see. Correct slope on patios, flashing at house connections, corrosion-resistant fasteners and footings matched to the soil all prevent problems that no amount of cleaning can fix.
We also leave access where it matters, such as removable panels under a deck or a cleanout on a drain line, so future checks are quick instead of a demolition project.

Common Questions
Why choose Tekton Exteriors for outdoor living in Nettleton?
We help you choose low-upkeep materials honestly, build with our own licensed and insured crews, and explain warranties in writing.
How long does an outdoor living project take?
Simple patios and decks often take days to a couple of weeks; larger covered or kitchen projects take longer.
What is the lowest-maintenance decking?
Capped composite or PVC decking needs only occasional washing and never needs sealing or staining.
Is a paver patio harder to maintain than concrete?
Slightly. Pavers need joint sand topped up now and then, but individual pavers can be lifted and reset if the ground settles, which concrete cannot do.
Can I customize my outdoor space?
Yes. Layout, materials, colors, lighting and features are all chosen with you.
