The rich warm tones of Mataverde Premium Ipe Hardwood Decking and Garapa Hardwood Decking add curb appeal and elegance to any exterior project. When the two wood species are featured together - the results are spectacular.
Garapa hardwood decking with Ipe for picture-framed edges
One New London County homeowner, Richard Priestley, artfully designed this residential deck using 5/4 x 6' honey colored Garapa wood decking boards and picture framed the project with darker auburn-toned 5/4 x 6' Ipe hardwood decking. Matching Ipe wood posts and railings further added further contrast to the striking overall effect.

Homeowners like Mr. Priestley are often drawn to sustainable wood species like Ipe and Garapa for much more than their beauty. These hardwood decking species are some of the world's most durable woods. Time and again, their natural high density and insect-resistant qualities enable them to outlast and outperform their synthetic and wood competitors. And because they are low maintenance building materials, you can relax on your deck while your neighbor is hunched over painting, staining and refinishing theirs!
