Newly built timber garden decking with balustrade and potted plants overlooking a lawn

Garden Decking in Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and the surrounding areas

A welcoming space to sit, socialise and enjoy the outdoors.

About our decking work

Decking suits gardens where the ground drops away, where you want a seating area level with the back door, or simply where a warm timber surface feels more inviting than paving.

We build decks across Basingstoke, Andover, Newbury and the surrounding areas, with properly supported framing, considered board direction and neat edge detailing so the finished deck feels solid and looks deliberate.

Worth thinking about

Height and levels
A deck that steps down from the house needs different framing to one sitting close to the ground. Height also affects whether balustrade is needed.
Grip and upkeep
Shaded decks stay damp longer. Board choice and regular cleaning both play a part in keeping the surface pleasant to use.
Shape and layout
Squaring a deck to the house or turning it towards the afternoon sun changes the feel of the whole garden.
What sits underneath
Ventilation and access below the deck matter for how long the timber lasts.

Materials and finishes

Timber and composite boards each have their merits, and we are happy to explain the differences in appearance, upkeep and cost so you can weigh them up for your own garden.

Common questions

Do I need planning permission for decking?: Many domestic decks fall under permitted development, but raised decking and boundary positions can change that. We will flag anything worth checking with your local council.
How long does decking last?: It depends on the material, the exposure and the upkeep. Good framing and ventilation make far more difference than most people expect.
Can decking be built over an old patio?: Sometimes, provided the base is sound and levels still work at the door threshold. We will check this on site.
Is composite decking slippery?: Like timber, it can be in damp shade. Board texture and keeping the surface clean of algae are the main factors.
