Decking in Banstead
Banstead's village character and position on the North Downs give it a settled, green feel, with gardens that reward thoughtful planting. We work throughout SM7 on landscaping, hedging and regular maintenance. When it comes to decking in Banstead, that local knowledge matters: Banstead sits on chalk, so the soil is alkaline and free-draining, excellent for many shrubs and perennials but unsuited to acid-lovers, which we factor into every planting plan.
Why local matters for decking in Banstead
Choosing a team that already works across Banstead and SM7 means we understand the gardens here — the alkaline chalk ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes decking last in this part of Surrey. We're regularly in Banstead and neighbouring Epsom and Cheam, so a visit is easy to arrange.
The frame does the work
We build decks on a treated, correctly spaced sub-frame fixed to solid posts on concrete footings, with airflow underneath so it never rots from below. Properly spaced joists are why a good deck feels rock-solid underfoot instead of bouncing.
Composite or timber
Composite boards cost more upfront but never need oiling, won't splinter and hold their colour, which suits busy families. Natural hardwood and softwood are warmer underfoot and cheaper to install but want annual care. We fit both and will give you the honest trade-off.
