Finished garden deck with integrated low-level lighting

Hard landscaping service

Decking in Cambridgeshire

A well-planned deck can link home and garden, create a level entertaining area and make better use of awkward spaces.

Planning the work

Decking built for your garden

Good landscaping starts below the finished surface. Preparation, levels, edges and drainage are considered alongside the visible materials.

Decking can create a level transition from the house, make better use of a slope or define a dedicated seating area. We plan the footprint, finished height, access, ventilation, drainage, steps and any guarding together so the structure feels integrated with the garden.

We can quote against an existing brief or discuss suitable construction and material options during a free site visit. Every written quotation is based on the agreed scope for your property.

How we approach the build

The exact method depends on the site and agreed materials, but every project is planned from the groundwork upwards.

  1. 01

    Set out the structure

    The footprint and finished levels are agreed, then suitable supports and a well-spaced subframe are prepared.

  2. 02

    Build the surface

    Boards are laid with the required spacing and a layout that suits the shape and main sightlines of the garden.

  3. 03

    Complete the details

    Edges, steps, balustrades and other agreed details are finished to make the deck practical and visually complete.

After the installation

Keeping the finished work at its best

Timber and composite products have different care requirements. Routine cleaning, keeping drainage gaps free and following the manufacturer’s treatment guidance will help the surface remain safe and presentable.

Questions about decking

Useful answers before you begin

For broader questions about quotes, payment and working arrangements, see our main FAQs.

Should I choose timber or composite decking?

Timber offers a natural finish, while composite can reduce some routine maintenance. Cost, appearance and product-specific care all need to be considered.

Can decking be built on a sloping garden?

A raised or split-level structure can sometimes make a slope more usable. The design depends on levels, access and the support structure required.

Can you replace an existing deck?

Yes. We can inspect the boards and subframe, then quote for partial or complete replacement where appropriate.
