Choose timber or composite for the way you use the garden
Timber decking gives a natural surface with grain and colour that change as it weathers. Composite boards offer a more uniform manufactured finish with their own fitting and cleaning requirements. Neither choice removes the need for a well-built supporting frame.
Lewis discusses the look you want, the position of the deck and the work needed underneath it. The board surface needs to suit the setting. A shaded corner beneath trees has different conditions from an open south-facing seating area.
Furniture, planters and regular foot traffic all affect how the space is used. Lewis plans the route from the back door with steps and edge protection suited to the change in level, making the deck easier to reach and use. A clear layout prevents the seating area becoming a narrow corridor around the table.
The survey brings the board choice and garden layout together, with the support and edge details included in the quote.
Build a frame that supports the finish
Deck boards depend on the frame beneath them for support and alignment. The construction starts with the ground and the planned deck height, then establishes the supports and joist layout. Board spacing and fixings follow the chosen system.
The edges are finished so the surface, steps and surrounding ground meet cleanly. Airflow and water movement beneath the deck need considering rather than closing every gap for appearance. Timber and composite systems have different movement and support requirements, so the product choice informs the framing.
Where the deck meets a wall, the junction needs planning with the existing building details. Lewis checks those points before the boards go down. If part of the garden is uneven, the design also needs to explain how the usable level is formed and how you will reach it.
The finished structure should feel steady underfoot and provide a practical place to use the garden. The deck footprint leaves room for the gate to open and a comfortable landing outside the back door. Lewis sets out the edges and any changes in level with you, keeping the sitting area clear of the route through the garden.
Understand the maintenance and the installation programme
Every outdoor surface needs care. Timber requires a maintenance approach suited to its finish, while composite boards still need debris and surface dirt removed. The shade, nearby planting and airflow affect how quickly the deck gets dirty.
Lewis can discuss those conditions when helping you choose the surface, so the finish fits the amount of upkeep you want to do. The size, height, frame construction and number of steps affect the cost. Complex shapes and multiple changes of direction add cutting and finishing work.
Access into the garden determines how materials are brought in and waste removed. The programme includes preparing the supports, assembling the frame and completing the surface and edges. If you are replacing an old deck, its condition needs checking rather than assuming the existing frame can carry new boards.

Good to know
Straight answers before you book.
Can new boards be fitted to my old decking frame?
The existing frame must be checked for condition, support spacing and suitability for the new boards. Lewis assesses it before deciding what can remain.
Does composite decking need no maintenance?
It still needs cleaning and the removal of leaves and debris. Lewis discusses the product and the garden conditions so you understand the care required.
Can the deck include steps?
The layout, changes in level and edge details are discussed with the deck installation, then recorded in the written quote.
Can decking be part of a full garden project?
Decking is available alongside patios, lawns, fencing and garden walls, with Lewis managing the outdoor work as one project.
