Some clients approach with a wishlist of options. They’ve scoured Pinterest and have identified their ideal decking setting. While we can certainly emulate any design you cite, we ask our clients to have a clear sense of their budget, a practical use of their gardens dimensions and maintenance requirements.
Ranging in cost, complexity and style, here are 3 in demand deck designs that may assist you in finding the right decking solution for your home.
Platform decks are arguably the simplest decking style available. A favourite of budding and ardent DIYers alike, platform decking can be relatively easy to install over a few days. Platform decks are built on even ground, thereby foregoing the need of levels, steps and balustrades.

You may opt for a particular of deck tiling or add bench seating around the perimeter. Pressure treated materials and protective sealer should be used to prevent damp setting in.
Another popular decking style is raised decking and is often installed on homes with raised on uneven land. Installing this decking fixture is more nuanced than platform decks and should only be executed by an experienced decking specialist.
In contrast to our first decking option, balustrades, steps and an educated understanding of health and safety are required. When finished raised decking will often feature exposed foundation posts. Many clients opt to use lattice panels for aesthetic effect.
Lighting and pergolas are two decking features that have risen in popularity in recent years. Lighting is particularly popular among clients who want to host social gatherings through the evening. LED lighting creates a soft ambiance that, correctly positioned, highlights features including steps and edges.
A pergola is a garden archway, featuring prominent posts and cross beams, that is typically used as a shaded walk way or sitting area. Many customers opt to decorate this area with an open lattice with trailing plants and vines.
