Theodore Labonte Deck Designs

Sustainable Deck Building Materials

Sustainable decking materials have become a focal point of deck designs in 2025.  The top materials have included composite decking, sustainably sourced wood, modified softwoods, reclaimed woods and even recycled materials.  In Theodore Labonte’s experience, customers are more and more interested in eco-conscious choices that do not compromise quality.  Regardless of materials used, Labonte and his crew always focus on building quality decks made to last.  He is proud to say that his sustainable decks achieve this special harmony.  

Rainwater Harvesting

Systems for collecting rainwater are rising in popularity in 2025.  Theodore Labonte and the Sustainable Decks crew at Hemlock Contracting and Hemlock Roofing have installed a variety of these unique systems, that focus on saving water for watering plants and other non-potable uses in an eco-friendly way.

Energy-Efficient Lighting

Installation of energy-efficient lighting options is also growing in popularity in today’s sustainable deck designs.  Options that Theodore Labonte recommends include energy-efficient LEDs and solar-powered units that can be easily installed and replaced at a later time.

Shade Structures

Shade structures, such as pergolas, awnings and open gazebo concepts are rising in popularity once again.  These structures help reduce heat buildup and prompt natural cooling that may otherwise be supplemented with artificial cooling systems, such as fans and outdoor AC units.
