The material, height, and layout should suit how you will use the space, how it meets the house and the care you prefer.
Bring natural warmth to dining or seating areas with timber boards planned around the garden’s shape, access points and property style.
Create a lower-maintenance platform with composite boards suited to households wanting consistent color and reduced routine care.
Create useful space above sloping or uneven ground, with the frame, support, steps, and platform height planned around safe and comfortable access.
Remove worn boards or a weakened structure, then rebuild the area around stronger support, better access, and the way the platform is now used.
The frame, ground, and access matter as much as the visible boards. Reviewing them early helps define the right construction and quotation.
Decking costs depend on platform size, board material, frame requirements, ground preparation, steps and access. A site visit allows the full installation to be assessed.
The frame carries the boards, furniture and people using the deck. Ground conditions, bearing points and platform height determine the support required.
Door thresholds, garden levels and step positions should work together so the platform remains comfortable to enter, leave and move around.
Where a platform rises more than 30cm above the ground or covers a large part of the garden, decking planning rules may affect the design.
We consider the ground, frame, ventilation, thresholds and surrounding routes before the layout is agreed, helping the platform feel natural to use.
Timber offers natural character and can work well beside planting or traditional materials, but it needs regular care. Composite boards usually require less routine maintenance and provide more consistent color. The better choice depends on the appearance, budget and upkeep you prefer.
The cost depends on the platform size, chosen boards, frame construction, ground preparation, height, steps, and site access. A low timber deck requires different support from a larger raised composite structure, so the garden must be assessed before an accurate written quotation can be prepared.
Yes. Raised or multi-level decking can create a usable platform where uneven ground makes a normal seating area difficult. The frame, support points, steps and platform height must be planned around the slope and the way people will reach the space.
