Garden decking in Glossop and the High Peak

Attractive, practical decking for everyday outdoor living

Timber and composite decking can create a comfortable, level area for sitting, dining and entertaining, while helping make better use of sloping or awkward parts of the garden.

Easy to use outdoor space

Practical, attractive space for everyday use

Decking creates a practical and attractive place to sit, dine and relax, while helping to make awkward levels easier to use and creating a natural connection between the house and garden.

Pressure-treated timber gives a warm, familiar finish and can be detailed in many ways. Composite decking offers consistent colour and reduced routine upkeep, although it still benefits from occasional cleaning. We explain the practical differences so the choice suits the site and your preferences.

The substructure matters just as much as the visible boards. Supports, ventilation, drainage, fixings, steps and edges are planned carefully, particularly for raised or multi-level decks in the wetter North West climate.

How we build decking

A strong frame beneath a carefully finished surface

Each deck is planned around the ground, finished height and intended use before the supporting structure is built.

01

Plan the space

We assess levels, access, drainage, doors, boundaries and the size needed for furniture and comfortable movement.

02

Choose the finish

Timber or composite boards, colours, board direction and details such as steps, balustrades and edging are agreed.

03

Build the substructure

Foundations and the supporting frame are constructed with the required levels, strength, ventilation and drainage.

04

Lay and detail

Boards, fascias, steps, balustrades and transitions are fitted before the finished area is cleaned and checked.

Levels, materials and finishing

Designed for comfort and everyday use

A well-designed deck should feel comfortable to use, work naturally with the levels of the garden and use materials that suit both the setting and the amount of maintenance you want.

  • Timber or composite boards
  • Size, furniture and circulation
  • Raised or multi-level construction
  • Steps, ramps and thresholds
  • Balustrades and edge protection
  • Drainage and ventilation below
  • Sun, shade and surface care
  • Integration with pergolas and planting
  • Colour and relationship with surroundings

What our customers say

Rob and his team have completed this week a complete transformation on one side of my back garden. Extending my patio they did over 10 years ago into an L shape with new sleepers for planting. New fencing and side gate also. It's perfection in every aspect. The design work is excellence.

A very friendly team.

Thank you Rob for creating such an amazing garden in Stockport.

Heather · Stockport

Rob,

This is just to say a huge thank you for agreeing to take on such a difficult project.

It is really very much appreciated, and is a massive improvement and transformation from the previous mess.

Many many thanks

Joe

Dear Rob,

Nadine and I would like to place on record our complete satisfaction for all the work you have done for us over recent years. You have transformed the appearance at the front and turned the rear garden into somewhere that is relaxing to both sit and work in. We can't think of anything more we could ask you to do, unless we move house.
