GHS Landscapes & Driveways Ltd provides professional decking installations across Boston, Sleaford, Lincoln, Grantham, Newark, Spalding, Nottingham and Stamford. Whether you prefer the natural appearance of timber or the consistent finish of composite decking, we can create an outdoor area designed around your garden and the way you want to use it.
Decking can create a defined outdoor area for dining, seating, entertaining or simply making better use of an awkward part of the garden. Raised or stepped decking can also help connect different garden levels and provide a practical transition between the house and surrounding outdoor space.
We consider the available area, access, existing ground levels, doors, pathways and surrounding landscaping before recommending a suitable layout.
Timber decking offers a natural appearance that works well in both traditional and contemporary gardens. Different timber products, board profiles and finishing details can be used to create anything from a simple seating area to a larger deck with steps, edging and balustrades.
Timber used outdoors needs to be correctly specified and maintained. The supporting structure is particularly important, as the joists and posts need to be suitable for exterior use and capable of supporting the intended loads.
Composite decking provides an alternative to traditional timber boards and is available in a wide range of colours, textures and finishes. It can create a clean, consistent appearance and does not require the same preservative treatment as conventional softwood deck boards.
Composite decking is not maintenance-free. Leaves, dirt, algae and other debris still need to be removed periodically, and cleaning should follow the manufacturer’s recommendations. Different composite systems also have specific requirements for joist spacing, expansion gaps and fixings, so correct installation is important.
The visible deck boards are only one part of a good installation. The frame underneath carries the weight of the decking, furniture and people using the space, so it needs to be constructed from materials suitable for the application.
We plan the supporting structure according to the decking system, finished dimensions and intended use of the area. Correct spacing, support, fixing and ventilation all contribute to the long-term performance of the finished deck.
Decking can be designed with steps, handrails, balustrades and defined edging where these features are appropriate to the layout. These details can improve access, provide separation between different levels and give the completed area a more finished appearance.
We consider how the decking connects with paths, patios, lawns and doors so that it works as part of the wider garden rather than feeling like a separate structure.
The right choice depends on the appearance you prefer, the level of ongoing maintenance you are comfortable with and your budget. Timber offers natural character and can be treated or finished in different ways, while composite products provide a more uniform appearance and generally require less routine treatment.
Our team can discuss the advantages of each option and help you choose a decking system that suits your property and intended use.
All outdoor decking needs some care. Dirt, leaves, algae and other organic material should be cleared regularly to help keep the surface clean and reduce the risk of it becoming slippery.
Timber decking may require periodic cleaning and treatment depending on the timber and desired appearance, while composite products should be maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Decking can be installed as a standalone feature or incorporated into a wider garden transformation. Patios, paths, lawns, fencing, walls and planting areas can all be planned alongside the deck to create a more coordinated outdoor space.
This is particularly useful where the garden contains changes in level or several areas that need to serve different purposes.
