Pressure-treated wood or composite
Wood for cost, composite for low upkeep.

Stairs down to the yard and railings where the height calls for them.
Ground below
Weed barrier and rock underneath so the space below does not become a problem.

Why people call about this.
The back door is well above the yard
A deck gives a level landing instead of a drop.
The yard slopes
Building up on footings is simpler than cutting and retaining for a slab.
The old deck is soft or loose
Rotted boards and wobbling posts are a replacement, not a repair.
MORGAN’S POINT RESORT, TX
Deck Installation in Morgan’s Point Resort: what’s different here.
Morgan’s Point Resort is a small lake city of about 4,600 people (2020 census) on the eastern shore of Belton Lake, bordered by Temple to the south. It was developed on land owned by the James E. Morgan family and incorporated in 1970, and today it mixes lakefront, lake-access, and inland lots on wooded streets. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers owns the land around Belton Lake out to marked boundary lines and private docks are not allowed, so work stays on the private side of the line; the city issues minor project permits for things like fences, and some neighborhoods have their own HOA rules.
Outdoor Structures in Morgan’s Point Resort
Pergolas and pavilions cannot go on Corps land or in restricted easement areas, so placement on lake lots starts with knowing where the boundary monuments are.
The ground
The city sits on wooded ground with limestone bluffs above the lake, so many lots are sloped and rocky, and some carry federal flowage easements near the shoreline.
Homes and lots
Older homes in the original Morgan’s Point sections, newer HOA neighborhoods such as Rancho Del Lago, Sobrante Ridge, Holly Oaks Landing, and Cliffs at Lake Belton, and a mix of lakefront and off-water lots, with no citywide HOA.
