Decking

Garden Timber Decking

Garden timber decking describes an outdoor living space, a raised ‘timber patio’ or terraced area using hardwood or softwood timber planking (or ‘deckboards’) as flooring. Well-designed and constructed bespoke timber decks are stylish, integrate well with the environment and sit comfortably with traditional and contemporary architecture alike. When it comes to garden decking for Gloucestershire or surrounding counties, Acorn Landscapes is a proven, and very creative, partner that can bring your decking design vision to life.

Here are just some of the applications and materials:

• Hardwood decking
• Softwood decking
• Non slip decking (grooved or with resin aggregate inserts)
• Red cedar garden decking
• Smooth decking
• Swimming pool decking
• Raised decks
• Ground level garden timber decking

An appealing contrast to other landscaping elements

Wood garden decking contrasts beautifully with hard landscaping elements such as stone paths and patios, and softer areas such as lawns or bark paths. Decking lends itself to multi-level construction; even the simplest ground level decks are a perfect way to enhance a flat garden. Equally, decking, steps and timber walkways add an exciting dimension where there is uneven or sloping ground. Moreover, a raised path is a perfect way to protect highly trafficked softer landscape elements.

Garden timber decking integrates perfectly with other wooden structures

One of the beauties of timber deck design is the way it can easily be adapted to large or small areas. And of course, it integrates perfectly with other timber structures such as garden houses, raised timber pathways, pergolas, arbours and even jetties. The only limit is your imagination, the available  budget, and the skill and design capability of your contractor.

Perfect for large or small gardens

Garden decks readily find applications in small and large gardens alike. From a simple ground level deck in a small Cheltenham town garden, to wooden waterside walkways in the grounds of a Cotswold mansion, just imagine how this versatile medium could enhance your property and help you get more pleasure from your property.

Timber for decking

Many different timbers are available for building garden decking, ranging from western red cedar to Malaysian balau, Scandinavian redwood or thermowood pine decking. Each has its own unique performance and aesthetic characteristics. Naturally, we’ll listen carefully to your preferences and help you choose the most suitable material. Then we’ll design and build a soundly engineered, durable deck and the deck handrails, walkways, steps or timber planters to go with it. Of course, we’re fully qualified and insured to do this.

Decking accessories

Having invested in your new timber decking, what could be better than a few matching decking accessories? We can help you with accessories such as timber seating, planters, deck screens, garden decking lights, or even barbeque units that integrate perfectly with your deck and add to the joy of using it. In addition, we can advise you on deck cleaning, deck maintenance, and the decking treatments that will help keep your new deck looking great for years to come.

We like a challenge, so why not tell us your special ideas and see what we can create for you.
