How Much Does a New Deck Cost in Batesville, AR?
If you’re planning a new deck in Batesville or the surrounding area, one of the first questions is usually:
How much is this going to cost?
The answer depends on the size of the deck, the material, how high it sits off the ground, whether it needs stairs or railing, and any demolition or upgrades involved.
At Cornerstone Fence & Deck, our deck pricing generally starts with the square footage and then adjusts based on the design and options selected.
Pressure-Treated Wood Deck Cost
Pressure-treated wood is usually the most affordable option for a new deck.
Our current starting prices are approximately:
Low or ground-level pressure-treated deck: around $26 per square foot
Raised or elevated pressure-treated deck: around $30 per square foot
For example, a 12' × 16' deck is 192 square feet.
At about $26 per square foot:
192 sq ft × $26 = about $4,992
For a raised version at about $30 per square foot:
192 sq ft × $30 = about $5,760
Those numbers are starting points before railing, stairs, demolition, or other options are added.
Composite Deck Cost
Composite decking costs more upfront than pressure-treated wood, but it requires less ongoing maintenance and is a popular option for homeowners who want a cleaner, more finished look.
Our current starting prices are approximately:
Low or ground-level composite deck: around $36 per square foot
Raised or elevated composite deck: around $40 per square foot
For the same 12' × 16' deck:
192 sq ft × $36 = about $6,912
For a raised composite deck:
192 sq ft × $40 = about $7,680
How Much Does Deck Railing Cost?
Railing can make a significant difference in the total project price, especially on raised decks.
Typical starting prices include:
Wood railing: around $40 per linear foot
Trex Enhance composite railing: around $70 per linear foot
Aluminum railing: around $90 per linear foot
The amount of railing needed depends on the deck layout, stairs, and which sides require a guardrail.
How Much Do Deck Stairs Cost?
Stairs are typically priced separately because the cost depends heavily on deck height.
A standard set of pressure-treated stairs for a lower deck may start around $600, while taller elevated-deck stairs may be around $1,000 or more.
Composite stairs generally cost more because of the decking and finish materials involved.
What About Deck Demolition?
If an existing deck has to be removed before the new one can be built, demolition adds to the project cost.
Our typical deck demolition pricing is around:
$10 per square foot
For a 200-square-foot existing deck:
200 sq ft × $10 = about $2,000
Actual demolition cost can vary depending on access, deck height, construction, and how difficult the existing structure is to remove.
Example Deck Prices
Here are a few rough examples using our current pricing.

About $5,760
12' × 16' Ground-Level Composite Deck
192 square feet × $36:
About $6,912
12' × 16' Raised Composite Deck
192 square feet × $40:
About $7,680
These examples do not automatically include railing, stairs, demolition, or other upgrades.
What Affects the Cost of a New Deck?
Two decks with the same square footage can still have very different final prices.
Some of the biggest factors include:
Overall deck size
Pressure-treated wood vs. composite
Height above grade
Railing type
Number and height of stairs
Existing deck demolition
Yard access
Ground conditions
Deck shape and layout
Additional framing or structural requirements
That’s why square-foot pricing is useful for budgeting, but a site-specific estimate is still the best way to get an exact number.
