Acacia Gardens is a premium garden decking installation company operating throughout North London, North East London, North West London, West London, Central London, Greater London and Hertfordshire. We can install the material you choose, whether hardwood decking, softwood decking, Millboard or composite decking. Garden decking is often one of the features proposed in our complete garden design and build service. If you are interested in this as a stand-alone project, it is subject to the scope of work and our availability. Our garden designers are available to ensure your decking project is a success.

Quality Garden Deck Options

Various decking options, including wood type, colour, shape and style, are available. We can guide you from design and installation to maintenance and aftercare. It’s crucial to determine the primary use of your decking, whether it’s for alfresco dining (requiring easy kitchen access), relaxation and sunbathing (needing optimal sunlight and possible shade options), or a children’s play area (emphasising safety with non-slip surfaces and railings). These considerations, like maintenance and drainage, are essential when choosing decking materials and designs to enjoy your space year-round.

Choosing The Right Garden Decking Materials

Decked areas are commonly constructed from wood, with hardwood decking being a pricier yet durable and aesthetically pleasing option. In contrast, softwood decking is more affordable but requires more maintenance and a shorter lifespan. We recommend using FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) wood that adheres to top environmental and social standards. Alternatives to timber include Millboard decking, which mimics the appearance of wood but offers ease of maintenance and longevity. Composite decking is a durable mix of wood shavings and plastic. Our team can provide samples and guide you through selecting the best option for your needs.

How much does garden decking cost?

This depends on the size of the project, ground level (how raised should the finished level be?), type of materials and access. If you know your answers to these questions, we can send you an approximate cost, which will usually be confirmed with a site visit.

What type of decking do you recommend?

Garden decking is an investment. It might be best to go for deep-treated softwood, hardwood or ideally for a composite deck and frame, as this will last much longer.

Do you install the garden decking?

We install all types of garden decking for homeowners.

Do you have decking samples I can see?

We can bring a selection of samples during the consultation visit. However, an initial telephone consultation with one of our estimators would be essential before deciding on the best samples to show you.

What type of decking is environmentally-friendly?

This depends on the type of timber and where it comes from. We work with the best reputable suppliers in the UK that have policies in place for ethically sourced wood and causing the lowest or no environmental damage.

How long does decking last for?

Soft wood and hardwood decking should last 10-15 years but require maintenance. Composite decking could last up to 25 years.

Do you advise on decking design?

Every project is unique; we can advise both in design and the best decking to suit your garden design and budget.
