Decking in Paignton

Built to last

Timber or composite, built level and built to last, shaped around your garden.

Decking built for Paignton gardens

Decking turns an unusable slope into the best seat in the garden. Pressure treated timbers on reclaimed plastic feet, with the frame built properly first because that is the part that decides whether it is still solid in ten years.

On a flat Paignton garden decking is a design choice rather than a way of solving a slope. It works well raised slightly off the house, giving a defined seating area rather than one long expanse of lawn.

Large composite decking areas built across Devon, including sloping and awkward plots.

What you get

  • Composite for low upkeep, timber where the budget or the look calls for it
  • Frames built to take real weight, with proper posts and bearers
  • Steps and balustrade worked into the design, not added on afterwards

Working in Paignton

The ground

Paignton is flatter and sandier than the rest of Torbay, particularly towards Preston and Goodrington. That makes digging out easier, but a sandy sub base needs compacting properly in layers or a patio will settle unevenly in its first year.

Getting to the garden

Most Paignton estates were built with side access and a driveway, so a digger can usually get round the back. That keeps groundwork costs down compared with the harbour side towns, and it means bigger jobs can run to a shorter timescale.

The houses

Post war and nineteen sixties semis dominate, most of them with long rectangular back gardens, and there are newer estates out around Clennon and Yalberton. Gardens here tend to be flat, generous and quietly underused, often a strip of lawn with a shed at the end. That is exactly why full makeovers come up more often in Paignton than anywhere else in the bay.
