A sustainable solution that lasts — and sells

Danny purchased the home from a well-known architect who not only chose TimberTech for the deck but made a point of calling it out in the real estate listing as a highlight. “It’s ten years old but looks brand new to me and is so easy to maintain with just a little soap and water maybe once a season to keep looking its best,” says Danny. “It doesn’t splinter, warp, or need to be replaced — really, ever. I also move a lot. So, when it’s time to sell this home, I know it’s not going to come up as a contingency with the buyer that it needs to be repaired.”

TimberTech gives my home a natural, welcoming wood look I love and that lasts a lifetime.

The Decking: Harvest Collection® in Slate Gray®

Danny’s home is traditional white Victorian on the outside, NYC loft on the inside. The Slate Gray TimberTech Decking is a perfect transition between the two styles and adds soft, neutral contrast to the white exterior.

Danny’s top 3 tips for entertaining sustainably

Cans of Olipop Vintage Cola and a rocks glass filled with a chilled beverage are shown atop a dark gray marble side table

Offer drinks in smaller containers to minimize waste — aluminum is the most recyclable and keeps beverages cooler longer.

A platter of crostini breads with tapenade and a bowl of olives are on a marble table with brightly colored red, yellow, and orange bandanas

Cloth napkins are more eco-friendly than paper and Danny’s favorite “napkins” are colorful bandanas. They’re reusable, washable, and cheap — so guests won’t worry about ruining them.

Bowl of colorful fruits including oranges, lemons, and limes on an outdoor patio table

When decorating for an outdoor get-together, skip the streamers, balloons, and other décor you’ll just throw away. Instead, opt for colorful bowls of fruit and herbs for guests to eat or garnish their drinks with.
