Garden Decking Installation in Exeter

As professional installers of garden decking, we can offer a variety of options to suit the style and functional requirements of your outdoor space – including hardwood, softwood and composite decking:

Hardwood:

Strength, longevity and resistance to expansion and contraction make hardwood a sturdy choice – though it is slightly pricier than other options. However, it’s maintenance costs are reduced as it requires minimal upkeep to ensure it looks its best.

Softwood:

Quicker, economic and easier to install than its hardwood cousin, softwood is great for people on a budget. It may require a little more looking after to retain its quality, and also does not have as much longevity as hardwood.

Composite:

Fast becoming a popular decking alternative, composite decking is man-made but mimics the authentic natural appearance of wood. It’s created by combining wood fibres with plastics and bonding agents. The benefits of composite wood are plentiful: UV-resistant, mould-resistant, moisture-resistant, minimal maintenance, durable, no splintering and no warping, to name but a few.

Atlantes Landscapes are Millboard Registered Installers.

What are the main factors that influence the cost of building a deck in the UK?

Key factors affecting the cost of building a deck

img
Material Choice

Decking materials vary in cost and durability. Softwood is budget-friendly but needs upkeep. Hardwood is stronger and longer-lasting, while composite offers low maintenance but costs more upfront.

img
Deck Size and Design Complexity

Larger decks require more materials and labour. Simple shapes are cheaper, while custom designs, multiple levels, or built-in features increase complexity and price.

Site Conditions and Ground Preparation

Uneven or sloped sites need extra groundwork and supports. Limited access, drainage problems, or tree roots can also add time and expense to the project.

img
Additional Features and Finishes

Extras like railings, lighting, seating, and finishes improve function and looks but raise the overall cost. Even the choice of fixings and stains can impact price.

Labour Costs and Planning Requirements

Installation costs vary by location and complexity. Some decks may require planning permission or building regulation approval, adding to both cost and project time.
