01 — Timber Decking
Natural Timber Decking Crafted for Surrey Gardens
The warmth and character of real wood, expertly installed. We source sustainably certified hardwood and softwood to create beautiful decks that age gracefully and stand the test of time.
02 — Why Timber
The Timeless Appeal of Real Wood Decking
There is nothing quite like the warmth and natural beauty of real timber underfoot. Whether you choose a rich hardwood like Ipe or Balau, or a pressure-treated softwood for a more budget-conscious project, timber decking brings an organic character to your outdoor space that no other material can replicate.
Our timber decking service covers everything from the initial design and substructure engineering through to the final oiling and finishing. We use sustainably sourced, FSC-certified timber wherever possible and apply expert joinery techniques to ensure every deck is built to last.
With the right maintenance — typically an annual oil or treatment — a quality timber deck will reward you with decades of beauty. We also offer a full repair and replacement service for existing decks that have seen better days.
03 — Timber Species
Hardwood & Softwood Options
Ipe (Brazilian Walnut)
HardwoodOne of the world's hardest and most durable decking timbers. Ipe is naturally resistant to rot, insects and fire, with a rich, dark brown colour that weathers to a beautiful silver-grey if left untreated.
Balau (Yellow Balau)
HardwoodA popular South-East Asian hardwood prized for its golden-brown colour, tight grain and excellent durability. Balau is a cost-effective alternative to Ipe with similar performance characteristics.
Siberian Larch
SoftwoodA naturally durable softwood with a warm, golden colour and attractive grain. Siberian Larch is an excellent sustainable choice, offering good durability without the premium price of tropical hardwoods.
Pressure-Treated Pine
SoftwoodThe most affordable timber decking option. Pressure-treated pine is impregnated with preservative to resist rot and insect attack, making it a practical choice for budget-conscious projects.
