Black Locust Deck Tiles: Modular Simplicity Meets Lasting Durability
Our Black Locust deck tiles combine the strength of solid hardwood with the ease and flexibility of modular design. Precision-milled in 2x2 and 2x4 formats, these tiles are compatible with leading pedestal systems like DeckWise® and Bison®, making them a smart solution for rooftop terraces, patios, plazas, and other elevated deck systems. Each tile is made from naturally rot-resistant Black Locust — a dense, durable American hardwood that requires no chemical treatment and outperforms many tropical species in both longevity and environmental impact. Whether you're working on a residential balcony or a large-scale commercial installation, our deck tiles offer a beautiful, sustainable surface that installs quickly and performs for decades.
Our Black Locust deck tiles are fully compatible with industry-leading pedestal systems, including those from Bison Innovative Products and DeckWise® Hardwood Tile Pedestals. These adjustable pedestal systems are ideal for rooftop decks, patios, terraces, and other raised applications where water drainage, airflow, and leveling are critical. Whether you’re working with sloped surfaces or need a modular solution for complex layouts, pedestal decking systems provide the flexibility and precision required for professional results.
When paired with our 2x2 and 2x4 Black Locust tiles, these systems offer a seamless, low-maintenance solution that’s perfect for both residential and commercial projects. The combination of naturally rot-resistant hardwood with pedestal-mounted support gives you a durable, elevated decking surface that meets modern performance standards — without the use of tropical hardwoods or synthetic composites.

Premium Grade Black Locust
All of our Black Locust deck tiles are crafted exclusively from Premium Grade lumber — an architectural-grade hardwood selected for its clean appearance, structural reliability, and refined natural character. This grade is ideal for high-end exterior spaces where aesthetics and durability go hand in hand.
Our Premium Grade strikes a perfect balance between clarity and character. Each tile face is predominantly clear, with occasional natural features like small sound knots, soft mineral streaks, or subtle bark inclusions that add warmth and uniqueness without compromising visual harmony. Every board used in our deck tile system is hand-inspected and held to strict structural and visual benchmarks.
What Defines Our Premium Grade:
- High Clear Yield: Boards are primarily defect-free on the face, with consistent grain and clean lines ideal for polished outdoor spaces.
- Natural Enhancements: Small, sound knots (up to 3"), mineral streaks, and minimal bark inclusions are allowed only when they contribute positively to the look.
- Tightly Controlled Checks: Surface checks are limited to less than 1/12 the board’s length and must not affect structural integrity.
- NHLA-Aligned Grading: Our standards are adapted from NHLA rules, refined to match the specific character and performance of Black Locust.
Premium Grade ensures that your finished deck surface will not only hold up to the elements but look exceptional for years to come — without the need for chemical treatments or tropical hardwoods.
