• Installation of concrete stumps. 

• Installation of the actual deck.

• Cleaning after completing the process. 

It is important to note all the underlying factors beforehand that come with the installation and labor cost of installing a hardwood deck. 

• Your deck's size and shape play an important role in identifying the hardwood decking prices. Needless to say, the decks that have complex structures will make labor's work harder, resulting in increased direct costs. 

• Overhead costs should never be overlooked. Most of these hardwood materials are imported from the southern parts of America. Hence, the price may vary as per the change in seasons. This usually happens because of a lag in the demand-supply chain. It also includes a change in excise duties, import duties, labor cost, transportation, shipping costs, etc. 

• If you are planning on building a significant commercial space, you would require a lot of hardwood decking material. However, ordering hardwood supplies in bulk will definitely help you get the economies of scale, resulting in a visible fall in the overall cost involved. 

Factors affecting costing :

• Materials used can also affect pricing. Materials could be timber, synthetic, hardwood, composite, or treated pine. 

• The specifications of the deck have a significant impact on the pricing. The specifications may include lightings, elevations, stairs, handrails, roofs, benches, and probably all other things that may add value to the deck. 

• The condition of the site plays an essential role in determining the overall hardwood decking prices. If your plot's condition is not so good, and it requires treatments, it will undoubtedly contribute to your overall costs. While if the needs of your property are viable, then the plot maintenance cost will reduce dramatically.
