Garden decking is a flat surface made using timber or composite material. Decking is popular for patios or extending the living area outside your home.

Garden decking is an excellent option if you have a sloping garden or an uneven surface. Decking installation is quick and easy, often taking less time than laying a patio using paving. Decking can be cut into different shapes and sizes to add decorative interest and design detailing to your landscape.

Softwood is the cheapest option made from fast-growing trees, which is environmentally friendly. However, it doesn’t last as long as hardwood. Hardwood is more expensive and comes from slow-growing trees such as oak, but it tends to last longer, is more durable and overall better quality. The downside is that hardwood requires maintenance to keep tip-top condition. Composite decking is rising in popularity because it looks like wood and is available in various colours, including grey and black. The primary benefit is that composite materials are low maintenance using recycled materials. Don’t worry because Gardenscapes can help you make an informed decision about decking materials.

The possibilities for decking designs are endless. It’s easy to form a shape from decking or create a pattern. We recommend consulting a garden designer for an extensive decking project, and we have a person in-house ready to advise.

We are happy to install decking in your garden along with steps, rails and lighting if required as a standalone project.

Gardenscapes can install your decking and a handrail for safety.

Gardenscapes undertake decking installation work throughout Surrey and West Sussex, including Guildford and Reigate. Please refer to the areas page for more information.
