Height and ground
Raised decks, sloping gardens and uneven ground need different support, access and finishing details than a low platform.
Timber decking · Stoke-on-Trent
More room
to live outside.
A well-planned deck can connect the back door to the garden, create a level sitting area or finish the space around a new boundary. We discuss levels, drainage, steps, edges and how the timber will be used.
Outdoor timber work
Make the level
work for you.
Decking is not just a row of boards. Substructure, fall, ventilation, drainage, thresholds and safe steps all shape how the space performs. We plan the practical pieces before the visible finish takes over.
- Decking platforms, paths and seating areas.
- Steps, edging, trims and transitions to paving or lawn.
- Layouts considered around doors, drainage and garden levels.
- Timber boundary and gate details that coordinate with the deck.
- Removal of agreed old timber and a tidy handover.
What changes the price
Every garden
has its own geometry.
Shape and cuts
Steps, corners, curves, posts and awkward thresholds add time but can make the result feel properly fitted.
Future care
We can talk through timber choice, drainage and the maintenance routine before you commit to the look.

Boards are only
the visible part.
Base and drainage
The support method, airflow around the timber and route for rainwater all need agreeing before the boards cover the ground.
Levels and access
Door thresholds, steps, edges and the route for materials affect how the deck meets the house and the rest of the garden.
Care over time
Agree the timber finish and a realistic cleaning or maintenance routine before choosing the look. No outdoor timber stays maintenance-free.
