What Our Timber Deck Services Include
Our timber deck services cover everything from planning and design through to construction and finishing. We can work with a variety of hardwoods and treated timbers, selecting materials that are durable and suited to outdoor conditions. The result is a deck that complements the property and stands up to regular use.
The Timber Deck Building Process
We begin with an assessment of the space to determine the best size, layout, and orientation for the deck. Once plans are agreed, we prepare the site, construct the framework, and install the decking boards. Finally, the timber is treated or sealed to protect against weathering and extend its lifespan.
Benefits of a Timber Deck
Timber decks add warmth and character to outdoor areas, making them ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or connecting indoor living spaces with the garden. They can be built to suit properties of all sizes, from compact courtyards to expansive backyards.
