Create the Perfect Outdoor Living Space
Decking is one of the most popular ways to transform an outdoor space into a functional and stylish area that can be enjoyed all year round. Whether you’re looking to create a social space for entertaining, a quiet spot for relaxation, or a seamless transition between your indoor and outdoor living areas, decking offers a versatile solution. At *Vale Gardeners*, we specialise in the design and installation of bespoke decking solutions that suit your garden’s style and your personal needs.
The Benefits of Decking
Decking brings a variety of benefits to any garden, enhancing both the aesthetics and usability of the space:
Extend Your Living Space: Decking allows you to create an outdoor ‘room,’ expanding your living space and offering a place to sit, dine, or entertain. It’s perfect for summer barbecues, morning coffees, or simply enjoying the sunshine in comfort.
Versatility: Decking can be installed on flat or sloped surfaces, making it an excellent solution for uneven gardens. It’s also ideal for creating split-level designs, which can add depth and interest to your garden layout.
Low Maintenance: Depending on the material you choose, decking can be relatively low-maintenance. Composite decking, for example, requires minimal upkeep, as it’s resistant to rot, fading, and warping. Even traditional timber decking, when properly treated, can withstand the elements and last for years with only occasional care.
Aesthetic Appeal: Decking provides a sleek, modern look that enhances the overall appearance of your garden. It can also be customised to suit your personal style, with options for different finishes, stains, and designs that can complement any type of home, from traditional cottages to contemporary builds.
Types of Decking We Offer
At Vale Gardeners, we offer two main types of decking to suit the needs and preferences of our clients:
Timber Decking: For those who love the natural beauty of wood, timber decking is a fantastic option. We use high-quality, pressure-treated wood, such as softwood pine or hardwood oak, which is specially treated to resist rot, decay, and insect damage. Timber decking offers a warm, organic feel and can be stained or painted to match your garden’s aesthetic.
Composite Decking: If you’re after a more durable, low-maintenance option, composite decking is a great choice. Made from a blend of wood fibres and recycled plastics, composite decking is resistant to moisture, fading, and warping. It’s available in a wide range of colours and finishes, allowing you to achieve the look of natural wood without the associated maintenance. Composite decking is also environmentally friendly, making it a popular choice for those who want to create a sustainable garden.
Decking Design and Installation
At Vale Gardeners, we work closely with you to design a decking solution that perfectly suits your garden and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking for a small, intimate deck or a large, multi-level space, we can create a bespoke design that meets your needs.
Our decking installations begin with a thorough site survey to assess the best location and layout for your deck. We take into account factors such as sunlight, views, and access to ensure the final result is both practical and beautiful. We can also incorporate features like built-in seating, planters, and lighting to enhance the usability and atmosphere of your deck.
Once the design is finalised, our team of experienced installers will carefully construct your deck using the highest quality materials and techniques. We take pride in our attention to detail, ensuring that every board is laid perfectly and that your deck is level, secure, and built to last.
Aftercare and Maintenance
To keep your deck looking its best, we offer advice on aftercare and maintenance. While composite decking requires very little upkeep, timber decking may need occasional staining or sealing to protect it from the elements. We can provide guidance on the best products to use and how often to maintain your deck, ensuring it remains a beautiful feature of your garden for years to come.
