Garden decking in Harrow
Harrow's long thin back gardens are ideal for decking — a raised platform at the back of the house gives you a proper terrace without losing lawn.
Harrow housing context
Most Harrow gardens I deck are 4m x 4m platforms directly off the kitchen door, with a couple of steps down to the lawn. Composite is popular here because clients don't want annual oiling.
A typical project
Recent Harrow deck: 4m x 4.5m grey composite terrace off the back door, ground-screw footings, two-step drop to the lawn, ambient step lighting run in by a trusted electrician. 4 working days.
Composite vs timber in Harrow
Composite lasts 20+ years with almost no maintenance and suits Harrow's family gardens well. Timber costs less upfront but needs oiling every year or two — worth knowing before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
- For most low platforms, no. Raised decks over 30cm may need permission — I flag anything that looks close to the line.
