Decking and landscaping

Your garden is an important area of your home that can be transformed into a stylish, relaxing space which looks and feels great.

When a homeowner installs timber decking, it will often be as part of a grander overall vision for the exterior of their property – in turn, raising questions about design and landscaping.

The best decking solutions make the most of a garden by enhancing the appeal of a lawn or patio – but also by blending in with the natural environment and bringing out the best in earthy materials such as wood and stone.

Moreover, well-planned decking can be an excellent solution for turning unused slopes into stable, level areas.

The effect a decked area can have on the appearance of a property, for example, will be influenced by subtle factors such as the alignment of decking boards. You do not have to conform to straight lines – diagonal or herringbone patterns can make spaces look less rigid than traditional schemes.

The material used will also influence the ‘feel’ of a decked area – grooved decking, for example, often suits more traditional gardens, whereas smooth decking can sharpen the lines of more contemporary areas. Furthermore, some decking solutions are more ‘child-friendly’ than others – an important consideration when children spend time playing in the garden.

These design factors mean that decking and landscaping solutions benefit considerably from the expertise of professionals.
