The Design Is in the Details
A single-color deck is a good deck. A deck where the picture frame carries through to the steps in both board colors is a designed one. Here is what went into the Marriottsville build and why each choice holds up.
Fiberon Chai With an Earl Grey Single Picture Frame
Chai runs wall-to-wall across the deck surface, warm and consistent, with an Earl Grey border pulling a clean, deliberate edge around the perimeter. A single picture frame keeps the border tight and graphic, no double-framing, no visual noise. The contrast between the two colorways is enough on its own.
Picture-Framed Steps in Both Deck Board Colors
Most builders treat steps as an afterthought. Here, the steps carry the same picture-frame detail as the deck surface, running Chai and Earl Grey together to mirror the border above. It is a small decision with a large visual payoff: the steps read as part of the design rather than an attachment to it.
80 Yards by Hand
A freshly sealed driveway meant no material drop near the job site. Every board, every post, every component was moved by hand from the street, 80 yards out, before the build could begin. No delays, no excuses. The project finished on schedule.
That is the kind of problem Diamond Decks solves without making it the homeowner’s problem.
