Garden decking & terraces
Level, solid, well-fixed decks that stay flat and stay put — timber or composite.
Decking looks simple until you see one that's already sagging after two winters. I build on a proper joist structure with correct spans, ventilation and drainage, so it stays level and lasts. Small back-garden platforms up to raised terraces.
What's included
- Groundwork and levelling
- Concrete pad or ground-screw footings where needed
- Treated joist structure, correctly spanned and ventilated
- Timber (softwood/hardwood) or composite deck boards
- Step build, edge trims and skirting
- Handrails and balustrades where the height requires

Deck cleaned, offcuts and old material taken away.
Timing: A standard back-garden deck runs 3–6 working days. Raised terraces with steps and balustrades a little longer.

Frequently asked questions
- Composite lasts longer and needs almost no maintenance but costs more upfront. Timber looks great and is cheaper but needs oiling every year or two.
