Our Decking Services
While many homeowners would love nothing more than to sit out in their garden to relax or entertain friends or family, they find that they lack the area in which to do so. Turfed areas aren’t ideal for this as they can become messy, especially if it has rained, which is why many property owners turn to decking.
Decking is a product that is manufactured from wood or composite material and used to create a comfortable space in your garden in which to relax and entertain guests. It is the perfect choice when you wish to invest in outdoor seating for your garden, and it can transform your outdoor space.
Here at Classic Landscaping, we specialise in the installation of decking for our clients. We work with a variety of materials, from composite decking to stylish hardwood and pressure-treated softwood. Get in touch with us today to find out more about how we can help you with Fencing Bournemouth, Fencing Christchurch, Fencing Dorset, Fencing Poole and Patios Dorset.

Composite Decking
Composite decking is comprised of wood fibre, plastic, and a bonding agent, and this creates a material that is stronger and more durable than regular wood decking. The biggest benefit to utilising composite decking is that it will require far less maintenance than other decking materials. Due to the plastic, your decking will be resistant to rot and damp, and the boards making up your decked area won’t need to be sealed or stained as they won’t fade or warp. There are two types of composite decking; capped and uncapped. Uncapped decking, while cheaper, doesn’t have the same protection against staining and fading, but it is still hard-wearing and durable. Capped decking comes with an additional plastic coat on the exterior, meaning it is more resistant to fading and staining.

Stylish Hardwood Decking
Hardwood refers to decking, which is made using different broadleaved trees, such as oak, beech, or ash. The reason these are referred to as hardwood is that the wood grows slower, and this offers a harder and more durable timber. Hardwood decking provides many benefits thanks to the high-quality materials used in construction. First, hardwood decking is extremely durable and will last for many years. It is resistant to rotting, warping, and splitting, and it is a more fire-resistant option to other decking materials. Plus, you will find that the natural look of hardwood will only improve over time, enhancing the aesthetics of your decked area.

Pressure Treated Softwood Decking
If hardwood refers to slow-growing trees, it stands to reason that softwood is made from fast- growing trees such as pine and spruce. Before being used for decking, it is important that softwood is first treated as pressure-treated softwood is much more durable than untreated softwood. One of the main benefits of using pressure-treated softwood for your decking is that it is a more budget-friendly option. It is much more affordable than any other decking material on the market, and it is easy to install and work with. Plus, as it is made from fast-growing trees, you will find it is an eco-friendlier option too.

Design and Installation
Here at Classic Landscaping, we want to ensure you receive decking that fully encompasses your needs. This is why we provide a thorough design and installation service for all our clients, beginning with a consultation. We will sit down with you to discuss your requirements and help you design a decking area that exceeds your expectations. Our team will take your ideas and requirements into account when designing your decked area, and we will provide you with a free quote.
Once we get the go-ahead from you, we will arrange a date to begin the installation of your decking area. Our team will work quickly and efficiently, paying attention to the smallest of details to ensure your decking is installed to the highest standards. We never consider a project complete until you are 100% satisfied with the results, and our team will always leave the site clean and tidy once installation has been completed.
Decking Aftercare
Looking after your decking is just as important as the installation, and the good news is that your decking will require minimal maintenance. This is usually performed on an annual basis in the spring or autumn and involves cleaning any algae from the surface. There are a few ways you can do this; pressure washing, deck oil, or cleaning solutions.
