Decking in Esher

Esher's leafy roads and generous plots mean gardens here are often a real feature of the property rather than an afterthought. We work across the KT10 area on everything from compact townhouse courtyards to substantial family gardens. When it comes to decking in Esher, that local knowledge matters: Many Esher gardens sit on heavier ground near the Mole valley but lighter, sandier soil toward the commons, so we tailor planting and drainage to the specific plot.

Why local matters for decking in Esher

Choosing a team that already works across Esher and KT10 means we understand the gardens here — the mixed clay-to-sandy ground, the style of the local properties, and what makes decking last in this part of Surrey. We're regularly in Esher and neighbouring Cobham and Oxshott, 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.
