Why You Should Consider Decking For Your Garden!
Website Editor • 19 May 2021

Decking has become more popular over the years. If you haven’t gotten decking done yet, read below on the reasons why you should consider investing in decking for your garden. 

It looks amazing!

Decking can improve the overall look of your garden. The wooden look of the decking will make your garden look so tidy and clean. Your neighbours will certainly be jealous of how your new garden looks. Decking always looks good with the green grass. If you want to improve the look of your garden, then definitely consider decking, you will not regret it!


To improve the overall look of your decking (even though it will already look amazing after its been installed) you can decorate it however you want, you can add outdoor furniture, firepit, hot tub, plants and shrubs. Get creative with your decking!

New place to socialise!

Having a decking will encourage you to socialise with your friends and family out in the garden, especially during the summer months. On your decking you will be able to fit a nice table and chairs and perhaps even an outdoor sofa if it’s big enough! You can really turn decking into an outdoor living area if you wish! 


Not only is it a great place to socialise, decking is also child friendly. It is a safe place for them to play during the drier, warmer months. Having a decking is also a great lace to just simply relax and feel close to nature if you really wish to do so! Decking is very versatile!

Decking adds value to your house!

Decking can actually add more value to your property. When or if you eventually look to sell your property the price will increase a bit. Believe it or not a lot of potential buyers will buy a property because of the garden, especially for a garden that they won’t have to do anything to. You will get back every bit of money back that you spent on the decking when it comes to selling your home. In the long run you won’t be out of pocket. Decks are currently very popular and currently extremely sought after in the property market, especially if the buyers have a big family.

Decking is low maintenance!

If you want a low maintenance garden then decking is perfect for you. Once you install the decking you will be able to enjoy it for many years, unlike having grass where it needs constant work and maintaining. Also decking should need less cleaning than a patio. With decking you don't need to worry about it cracking  or breaking very easily, whereas it is more likely for a patio to crack and ruin the look of your garden.


Some gardens may have drains that you no longer use, thus there is no need for them as they are useless. Installing a decking area can simply cover this making your garden look perfect.

Decking works in any garden!

Decking can work in any garden whether you just have a small yard or an entire estate! Decking can have a place in any type of garden no matter the size. Decking boards are a lot more easier to cut rather than cutting slabs for a patio. There is decking to suit any taste too! Everyone has different tastes, whether that is gray wood, dark wood, light wood etc whether you want smooth boards or boards with grooves. If you want decking, chances are it will suit your taste and your garden! 

Decking is long lasting!

Your decking should last a good few years after you first install it if it is installed right. The boards that decking is made from are very strong, sturdy and high quality. Like we previously mentioned decking does not need a lot of maintaining, it has great duration. The materials used for decking are extremely good quality thus making it very durable.


Decking is great for holding outdoor furniture as outdoor furniture can be heavy but placing it on decking won't ruin the hardware as like we have mentioned about, decking is durable and perfect for outdoor furniture! Piece of advice when it comes to decking, it only needs a brush or a hoover and a varnish once a year if you want it to stay even more fresh.
