Decking can be used in almost any situation within the garden, but - like all other aspects of garden design - needs to be designed with careful thought (and with you -the client) in mind.

Decking is here to stay and is being specified more and more for new homes being built in the South, and certainly as far as we are concerned, the demand for properly designed decking schemes is increasing daily.

Unlike concrete slab patios, decking is user-friendly throughout the year. It is warmer than a concrete patios in the winter, and cooler in summer. A properly designed and built deck will last a lifetime - with minimum maintenance.

The main thing to realise about the type of decks we build at top Deck Decking Ltd, is that they are genuinely part of the house - rather than part of the garden - as is the traditional patio. Of course, we design and build garden decks as well, but the real benefits of decking are the uses to which t it can be put - ancillary to the house. Yes - it can also link the house to the garden, but it is a totally different concept to patios!!!!

Decks have been in use for hundreds of years in this country! Simply take a walk around the old boats such as the Cutty Sark etc. The decks are still there!

Alan Titchmarsh recently pronounced that Decking was being overdone. In the real world, nothing could be further from the truth. If he meant that the little blue jobs - the backbone of his ex TV programmes - are through, then that's fine. No loss!
