Is there a way to stain match old and new wood?

Your best bet would be to get some sample stain chips and compare across all brands or get a good bright photo and take it to your store. Just have them mix a small container if possible to see if it matches. New stain will always be a little different due to weathering on the older stain.Helpful Reply -

Try pressure washing the old wood. It should get close to the original color.Helpful Reply -

I too would power wash the deck and use some wood bleach to get the old boards up light enough to get both to stain equally.Helpful Reply -
