Types of Decking We Install
As certified decking specialists, we offer a wide variety of decking styles and materials to suit different spaces, budgets, and lifestyles.
Composite Decking
Composite decking is one of the most popular choices across the UK for its low-maintenance and long-lasting qualities. We are an approved Millboard installer, meaning your deck is fitted by certified professionals with years of experience.
Composite decking benefits:
Durable and resistant to fading, splitting, or warping
Available in contemporary tones such as Burnt Cedar, Antique Oak, and Limed Oak
Easy to clean and maintain
Perfect for year-round use
Hardwood Decking
Hardwood decking, such as Yellow Balau or Ipe, offers a warm and timeless look. Hardwood decks weather beautifully and bring a natural feel to outdoor spaces.
Hardwood decking benefits:
Long-lasting and strong
Rich colours that add luxury
Ideal for traditional or naturalistic gardens
Softwood Timber Decking
Softwood decking is cost-effective and versatile, making it a great choice for certain projects. We pressure-treat timber boards to extend their lifespan and integrate them with fences or pergolas for a cohesive finish.
Bespoke Decking Designs
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Every deck is custom-designed, whether it’s raised above a sloping garden, wrapped around a pool, or integrated with built-in planters and steps.
No matter the material, we are the go-to certified decking installers in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and Finchampstead for bespoke garden decking solutions.
Case Studies
Case Study 1: Camberley Hardwood Decking with Steps
We created a 72m² Yellow Balau hardwood decking area for a client in Surrey. A curved decked terrace was installed outside sliding doors, connected with steps and fan steps access leading to the garden. A separate 18m² deck was placed near the outbuilding to form an evening sun-trap.
This project balanced structure with warmth, showing how hardwood can be both elegant and practical.
Case Study 2: Farnham Composite Decking with Hot Tub
In Farnham, we designed 60m² of composite decking around a Jacuzzi hot tub and swim spa. Built on an aluminium subframe for maximum durability, the deck connected seamlessly with the shed interior for a unified finish.
This installation highlighted how composite decking is ideal for integrating wellness features with outdoor living.
Case Study 3: Hot Tub in Composite Millboard Decking in Berkshire
A client in Finchampstead wanted to maximise their outdoor space. We installed a fully sunken hot tub in composite Millboard Limed Oak decking seamlessly integrated with a “Jura Beige” porcelain patio. The deck created a stylish and usable seating area around a firepit for entertaining.
These projects demonstrate why homeowners trust us as their certified decking installers in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, London & surrounding areas.
Decking with Integrated Features
Modern decking is more than just boards. We design decking layouts with built-in features that enhance functionality and elevate style.
Integrated planters and seating for multi-use spaces
Decking steps for sloping gardens and level changes
Lighting including LED strips and spike lights
Wellness integrations such as hot tubs, spas, or saunas
