Decking is a fast way to add a level outdoor living area, and it's particularly useful in sloping gardens where building up a patio would mean major groundwork and walling.
We design decks around how you'll use them: dining, lounging, or simply a level platform with a view. We build them with a solid frame so they feel firm underfoot rather than bouncy.
We've built decks as part of front-garden makeovers and as part of larger hillside projects alongside retaining walls, patios and drainage.
Poor ventilation and timber in contact with wet ground lead to rot and spongy boards.
An undersized frame flexes and loosens over time.
Decks in shade that hold water quickly become slippery and green.
A deck in the wrong spot or wrong size rarely gets used.
We come out, walk the garden with you and look at access, levels, ground conditions and drainage.
We explain what the job involves and how long it will take, then put a detailed quote in writing.

“Firstly they redecked and fenced the front garden and have recently undertaken a challenging job at the back… The results are breathtaking.”
Where ground falls away, a raised deck can create a level platform supported on posts rather than relying on extensive retaining walls. On a hillside garden we built new decks alongside four sets of walls, patios and drainage to create several usable levels.
Patios suit flat ground and give a permanent, low-maintenance surface. Decks suit slopes, raised doorways and situations where building up ground would be impractical. Often the best answer is a combination; we'll advise honestly on what fits your plot.
If your existing deck is soft, rotten or unsafe, we can remove it and build a new one. We'll check the condition of the ground and drainage underneath so the new deck doesn't suffer the same fate.

Before choosing materials, think about who will use the garden and when. A space for summer dining needs different sizing, shelter and access from a low-maintenance front garden or a holiday let that needs to look smart between guests. Tell us how you live and we'll shape the decking around it.
Slope, soil, existing walls, hedges and drainage all affect what's possible and what it costs. In Cornwall, many gardens are steep, rocky or exposed to the coast. We assess all of this on our first visit so your quote reflects the real job: not a best-case guess that changes once work starts.
Decking rarely sits in isolation. It meets lawns, beds, boundaries, paths and steps. Planning these together avoids the cost of reworking levels or access later, and gives you a garden that feels designed rather than added to piece by piece.
