Structurally, hardwood requires virtually no maintenance.
Color upkeep is optional—and simple.
Hardwood is actually one of the easiest decking materials

Cupping isn’t a wood problem—it’s an airflow and drainage problem.
Installation matters.
Minor surface checking is normal, cosmetic, and easily minimized
with proper handling.

Lifespan and replacement cycles change the math.
