Decking Types

At Garden Solutions, we are experts at helping you to create the perfect garden. For many people, this includes decking, as decking helps to give your garden a beautiful raised area, that’s hard under-foot and usable in most conditions.

Single Level Decking

Single level garden decking is the simplest and most straight forward form of decking. It involves the placement of materials as a single, level deck.

Multi Level Decking

Multi Level garden decking can involve two or more platforms of decking, usually at varying heights. This allows you to create a tiered deck, giving you more height in some areas. This allows you to add more dimensions and angles to your garden, and as a result create a completely unique look and feel.

Hardwood Decking

Choosing hardwood for your decking is an incredibly durable option. Hardwood is arguably the most durable form of natural decking material and if treated properly will last a long time. Naturally, you find that hardwoods tend to be darker in colour than their softwood counterparts. Hardwood decking is the high quality, low maintenance decking option.

Softwood Decking

Softwood decking options are less expensive than their hardwood alternatives. Softwood decking comes pressure treated, to help with it’s durability. A softwood decked or a hardwood decked area will require regular maintenance and cleaning.

Composite Decking

Composite decking is becoming more popular as it has a longer life span over softwood or hardwood decking. There are so many colour options that it can add a contrast or blend in with any garden design. It requires less maintenance than softwood or hardwood, however the cost of composite decking is noticeably higher.

Another back garden project completed by Phil and his team this summer to the highest standard. They overcame the uneven ground issue by installing decking lower than the lawn, and also re-turfed the lawn itself. They also gave me useful tips on how to take care of the lawn and the plants.

We are very pleased with work done on our garden by Garden Solutions. Joe, Scott and Noel worked very hard, the finish and attention to detail is excellent. They turned up on time every day, kept us updated on progress and kept the site area tidy. We would definitely recommend and now we have a lovely garden to enjoy.

FAQs

1. How Much Does Garden Decking Cost in South Cerney?

The cost of garden decking in South Cerney usually depends on the size of the garden, the materials used, and how detailed the decking installation is. A small decking project can start from around £120 to £180 per square metre, while larger outdoor spaces with raised decking or composite decking can cost more.

As experienced garden decking installers South Cerney homeowners trust, we always begin with a proper site survey. Our south cerney decking fitters check ground preparation, drainage and layout so your new deck stays structurally sound in the British weather. We also handle decking removal Cirencester customers may need before starting a new decking project.

2. How Long Does Decking Installation Usually Take?

Most garden decking installation projects in South Cerney take between three days and two weeks depending on the garden size and ground prep required. Simple timber decking or softwood decking areas are quicker, while raised decking, hardwood decking or composite decking in Cirencester homes can take longer.

Our decking fitters work carefully to keep the site tidy, carrying out waste removal and safe ground preparation as we go. From a simple wooden decking area to a full patio decking space beside a garden patio, we make sure every decking project runs smoothly from start to finish.

3. Do I Need Planning Permission for Decking in My Garden?

In many cases, you do not need planning permission for garden decking, but there are times when it does apply. If the deck sits high above ground level, affects neighbouring views, or your home is in one of the local conservation areas, it is worth checking before work starts.

We always look at this during the site survey and point out any obvious red flags before your decking project moves forward. As a trusted local service provider for landscaping services, we want your new deck, new patio, or garden patio area to be right from the start and fully suited to your property in South Cerney.

4. Do You Offer Anti Slip Decking for Safer Outdoor Spaces?

Yes, we do. If safety is a concern, we can build anti slip decking that gives you better grip underfoot, which is especially useful in family gardens, shaded spots, or areas used by children and older relatives. It also makes a real difference in wet months when standard surfaces can become slippery.

We install both composite decking and wooden decking options that are designed to cope better with regular use and damp conditions. For many clients, composite boards are a smart choice for outdoor spaces because they offer a more low maintenance patio decking finish, feel good under bare feet, and do not need the same level of maintenance as some forms of traditional timber or other wood surfaces.

5. Can You Give Me Decking Ideas for a Small Garden?

Absolutely. In smaller gardens around South Cerney we often suggest raised decking with built-in planters, seating areas and subtle lighting like fairy lights. These small details can work wonders and give your own patch real wow factor without taking up too much space.

Some homeowners combine patio installation with decking to create a garden patio and low maintenance patio decking area using sustainable materials such as FSC certified timber or composite decking. Mixing local stone paving with wooden or composite decking boards can help shape the space and create a balanced garden feel.
