& Surrounding Areas
A well built deck can turn an unused corner of your garden into a practical, stylish outdoor living
space. Whether you want an area for dining, relaxing with family, or entertaining guests,
professional decking installation adds structure, value, and comfort to your garden. At Cheshire
Landscape Gardener, we design and build high quality timber and composite decking across
Knutsford and all surrounding Cheshire areas within a 15 mile radius.
Why Add Decking to Your Garden? Decking is one of the most versatile features you can add
outdoors. It can be used to:
- Create a level seating area on sloped or uneven ground
- Connect the house to the garden with a seamless transition
- Frame hot tubs, pergolas, or outdoor kitchens
- Provide a clean, dry surface for furniture and planters
- Divide the garden into zones for different uses
Decking works especially well in gardens where patios are not practical, or where you want a
warmer, more natural look compared to paving.
Timber vs Composite Decking We supply and install both timber and composite decking, each with
its own advantages.
Timber Decking - Traditional, natural look
- Can be stained or painted in various colours
- Cost effective and versatile
- Ideal for classic garden styles
Composite Decking - Very low maintenance
- Highly durable and fade resistant
- Does not need painting, staining, or sealing
- Excellent slip resistance options available
- Perfect for modern garden designs
During your consultation, we’ll discuss which option best suits your budget, maintenance
preferences, and design style.
Our Decking Installation Process 1. Site Survey & Design
We begin with a free on site survey where we look at access, ground levels, and how the deck will
be used. We then plan the shape, height, steps, and any features such as handrails, balustrades, or
built in seating.
- Groundworks & Framing
A strong, stable sub frame is the key to long lasting decking. We construct a solid timber or
composite frame on secure supports, ensuring everything is level and correctly spaced. - Deck Board Installation
We fit the deck boards with the correct spacing, fixings, and alignment for the chosen material.
Composite boards may be installed using hidden clips for a cleaner finish. - Steps, Edging & Details
We add steps, facias, trims, and any required safety features such as handrails or balustrades,
particularly on raised decks. - Finishing Touches
Optional extras include integrated lighting, planters, seating, and connecting paths or patios to
complete the space.
Decking for Sloped or Uneven Gardens Decking is ideal for sloped gardens in Knutsford and
surrounding areas. By creating raised platforms, multi level decks, or stepped seating areas, we
can turn difficult or unused spaces into practical and attractive zones.

Decking Maintenance & Aftercare Timber Decking Care
We recommend periodic cleaning and the application of decking oil, stain, or paint to keep timber
boards looking their best and protect them from the elements.
Composite Decking Care
Composite decking requires minimal maintenance — usually just occasional cleaning with soapy
water and a soft brush.
During installation, we’ll walk you through how to look after your new deck so it stays safe,
attractive, and functional for years to come.

FAQs Do I need planning permission for decking?
Most standard decking projects do not require planning permission, but very high or complex
structures may do. We can advise during the survey.
Is decking slippery in winter?
We use suitable boards and installation techniques to maximise grip, and composite options are
available with excellent slip resistant surfaces.
How long does decking installation take?
Most projects are completed within 2–5 days, depending on size, height, and access.
