Decking
Garden decking can transform outdoor spaces into inviting areas for relaxation and entertainment. To achieve a durable and aesthetically pleasing deck, it is essential to utilise proper installation techniques and maintain it effectively over time.
Planning and Design:
We assess the area where the decking will be installed, considering factors such as sunlight exposure, view, and proximity to buildings or other structures.
Next, we create a design that includes dimensions, layout, and materials. It’s beneficial to sketch the design to visualise the final look.
Selecting Materials:
Usually, the choice is between softwood and hardwood options. Softwoods (like treated pine) are cost-effective but may require more maintenance. Hardwoods (like teak or oak) are more durable but also more expensive.
Clients often consider composite decking, which blends wood and plastic for reduced maintenance and increased durability.
Constructing a Frame:
We build a sturdy framework using pressure-treated timber ensuring it is correctly spaced to provide support.
Finishing Touches:
We can add edging or decorative railings for safety - and style!
We can arrange LED lighting which can dramatically enhance the atmosphere of your decking, creating a warm and inviting space perfect for evening relaxation or entertaining guests.
