    Having your decking installed professionally can completely transform your outdoor space, creating a modern and easy-to-maintain alternative to a patio.

    Decking using either new composite materials or traditional timber makes the perfect place to entertain family and friends. The reason decking is so popular is that it can quickly and easily transform a garden.

    Compared with laying a patio, decking can be relatively straightforward to construct and can easily be adapted to resolve challenging level changes in the garden.

    It is easy to maintain and very flexible to use as an outside space.

    Choosing a substructure for your decking area:

    AS Landscapes offer three options for decking substructure:

    • Traditional treated timber – this is the most used material for the decking substructure offering a cost-effective option.
    • Composite joists – built as the timber system but offering the longevity of the composite material, with minimal maintenance.
    • Duo Span Aluminium system – this can quickly achieve a level support system that won’t rot, split or host algae.

    Choosing a decking plank for your decking area:

    AS Landscapes offer two options for decking:

    • Traditional treated timber – this is the most used material for the decking offering a cost-effective option.
    • Composite decking – this offers less maintenance than traditional wood decking, whilst looking more authentic than plastic alternatives. The boards have anti-slip properties and are available in many colours and styles to suit your taste. Composite decking won’t rot, split or host algae.

    Award winning composite decking installers

    At AS Landscapes we are professional landscapers, who have been installing composite decking for over 20 years for gardens big and small to meet our clients’ needs.

    We have carried out decking installations using both traditional timber and composite decking boards. We can also offer a composite supporting sub structure.

    Composite decking offers a durable and low-maintenance alternative to traditional wood.

    Our experienced professionals at AS Landscapes can handle the installation efficiently, helping to ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your composite decking.

    Composite decking benefits:

    • Durability: Composite decking is highly durable and resistant to rot, decay, and insect infestations, making it a long-lasting option for outdoor spaces.

     

    • Low Maintenance: Unlike natural wood, composite decking requires minimal maintenance. It doesn’t need staining or sealing, and cleaning is typically easy with just soap and water.

     

    • Composite decking has a carbon footprint that is 57% to 64% lower than timber.

     

    • The non-slip properties of composite decking provide safety for families, even when the surface is wet.
    • Environmentally Friendly: Many composite decking materials are made from recycled content, such as recycled plastic and wood fibres.
      This makes them a sustainable choice and reduces the demand for new raw materials.

     

    • Colour Variety and Aesthetics: Composite decking comes in a wide range of colours and styles, providing homeowners with diverse options to match their preferences and the overall design of their outdoor spaces.
      Additionally, it doesn’t fade or splinter over time, maintaining its appearance for years.

     

    • Composite decking is made with 90% recycled materials and produced using 100% renewable energy.

    The benefits of traditional timber decking

    • Natural Aesthetics:

    Traditional timber decking offers a warm and natural aesthetic, enhancing the beauty of outdoor spaces with its classic and timeless appeal. The varied grain patterns and colours of different wood species contribute to a visually pleasing and authentic look.

     

     

    • Renewable Resource:

    Timber is a renewable resource, making it an environmentally sustainable choice for decking. Responsibly sourced wood ensures that the environmental impact is minimised.

    • Customisation and Versatility:

    Timber decking allows for a high degree of customisation. It can be easily cut and shaped to fit unique designs and spaces, providing homeowners with the flexibility to create a personalised outdoor living area that suits their preferences.

    • Repairability and Maintenance:

    When compared to some alternative decking materials, traditional timber is often easier to repair. Damaged or worn-out sections can be replaced or repaired without significant hassle.

    Additionally, routine maintenance, such as staining or sealing, helps protect the wood from the elements, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining its appearance.

    Garden decking installation process

    To prepare and install composite decking or timber decking, we will need to carry out a number of steps:

    1

    Garden Preparation

    We will start off by preparing the designated area by removing any vegetation and debris, ensuring a clean and level surface in your garden.
    We will determine the layout, size, and shape of the deck, taking into account any existing structures or landscaping features.
    At this point we may discuss with you which materials you would like to choose from, does composite decking or a more natural timber decking work better for you?
    2

    Foundations and Decking Frame Construction:

    Our next step, is to construct the deck frame using pressure-treated lumber for timber decking or follow manufacturer guidelines for composite framing, ensuring stability and levelness. This being supported on either concrete pads or timber posts set in the ground.
    3

    Installing The Decking Boards

    Once the foundations are down we can then lay the decking boards perpendicularly to the joists, leaving appropriate gaps for ventilation and expansion, securing them with screws or hidden fasteners based on the material.
    4

    Trimming and Finishing:

    To finish off the decking we will trim the edges of both timber and composite decking for a polished appearance, adding fascia boards if necessary. We can then install any desired features such as railings, stairs, or built-in seating using suitable components.
    5

    Finishing Touches and Decking Maintenance:

    Lastly, once the decking project has been completed, we will apply a finish or sealant to timber decking to protect against the elements and enhance longevity.

    We will also give advice on decking maintenance practices, including regular cleaning and, for timber decking, periodic reapplication of sealant or stain to prevent weathering and decay.
    Adding lights to your decking can make your decking a real showpiece.

    Why should I choose decking over a patio?

    Choosing decking over a patio offers several key advantages, including greater design versatility, low maintenance, and enhanced aesthetic appeal. Decking can be installed at various heights, making it suitable for uneven ground. Composite decking materials require minimal upkeep compared to patios, which often need regular cleaning and weed management. With a wide range of styles and finishes available, decking not only complements your home but can also significantly increase your property’s value, providing a stylish and functional outdoor space.

    Can decking be installed on uneven ground?

    Absolutely! One of the advantages of decking is its adaptability. It can be easily adjusted to accommodate challenging levels in your garden, ensuring a stable and attractive surface.

    Is decking easy to maintain?

    Yes, decking is designed to be easy to maintain. Regular cleaning and occasional treatments can keep your decking looking great, making it a flexible option for outdoor spaces.

    What maintenance does decking require?

    Maintenance for decking depends on the material used. Composite decking typically requires minimal upkeep, such as occasional cleaning with soap and water. Timber decking may need regular sealing or staining to protect against weathering and wear.

    Do you offer decking with steps?

    The garden decking can be easily adapted to resolve challenging level changes in the garden. We are happy to discuss with the customer their requirements to best suit their garden.

    Can you put a garden shed on decking?

    Yes, you can place a garden shed on decking, but it requires careful consideration of several factors; weight, ensuring moisture doesn’t damage the decking, stability and checking with local regulations.
