Square framing with ventilation underneath
Steps, balustrades, screening and pergolas

What affects scope

  • Timber or composite board choice
  • Frame, joist spacing and ventilation underneath
  • Steps, balustrades, screening or pergola within the structure
  • Groundworks and the connection to the wider garden

What to send first

  • Approximate deck size and where it will sit in the garden
  • Whether you prefer timber, composite or want to compare both
  • Any steps, balustrades, screening or pergola to include
  • How the deck connects to paving or the wider garden layout

Good fit when

  • You want a new timber or composite deck built for regular use
  • The deck needs steps, balustrades, screening or a pergola
  • You want decking coordinated with wider garden design or landscaping

If the deck changes the wider layout, compare Garden Design and Landscaping before fixing the scope. Paving and Patios is relevant where decking meets a hard-landscaped area.

A deck is carpentry outdoors. The frame, the joist spacing and the ventilation underneath decide how it feels underfoot and how long it lasts; the board choice decides how much you do to it afterwards. Timber wants a bit of care and rewards it; composite asks for very little. Steps, balustrades, screening and pergolas are built into the same structure rather than added on.

Values

Design and build in one team

The layout, the groundworks, the hard landscaping and the planting are handled by the same people, so the finished garden matches the plan rather than a subcontractor's interpretation of it.

More than ten years in Cheshire

Over a decade of gardens in the same part of the country — the same soils, the same drainage problems and the same weather that the work has to survive.

What our customers say

“The second time Steve and the team have worked on a project with me. Quality is exceptional. Hard workers, brilliant design ideas, super slick and efficient. Steve is also a really great bloke as well (which does matter when the team are around your home and family for a period of time). Highly recommend Steve and his team!”

Mark Blundell

“Steven complete work for me a few months ago, extended the patio area and added paths in garden and also build a bespoke shed and greenhouse. I'm really pleased with end result, Steve was dilengent and worked long hours, especially after some other lads let him down, to get my job finished. He was really easy to talk to and accomodating for some changes to the shed as it went up as well. Plus bonus of the two extra dog friends while the work was being done. I would recommend and use again.”

Zoe Collier

“Steve and his colleagues built us some new decking and pointed the paving. They worked quickly, skillfully, and left the site tidy. Excellent work all round and we enjoyed having them work on our garden. Recommended.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between timber and composite decking?
Timber needs some ongoing care, while composite needs much less. For either option, the frame, joist spacing and ventilation underneath still matter to how the finished deck feels and lasts.
Can steps, balustrades, screening or a pergola be included?
Yes. Wilsonjones Landscapes can build steps, balustrades, screening and pergolas into the same deck structure rather than treating them as unrelated additions.
What affects a decking quote?
The board choice, approximate size, frame, joist spacing, ventilation, groundworks and any steps, balustrades, screening or pergola all affect the scope.
Can decking be part of a wider garden project?
Yes. Wilsonjones Landscapes handles garden design, groundworks, hard landscaping and planting, so the deck can be considered with the wider garden rather than in isolation.
