Decking in Torquay

Built to last

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

Decking built for Torquay 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.

Decking earns its keep in Torquay more than almost anywhere. A slope that has been useless for years turns into a level seating area with a view, and it costs less than cutting and retaining the whole bank.

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 Torquay

The ground

Much of Torquay sits on limestone, and it is rarely far down. On the hillside roads above the harbour we often hit rock within a spit of the surface, which changes how a base gets built and how retaining is handled. It is worth knowing that before a price is agreed rather than halfway through the dig.

Getting to the garden

The Victorian terraces around Warberry and Lincombe were built long before anyone owned a mini digger. Plenty of gardens are reached through the house or down a side passage, so material goes in by barrow. We work that into the quote rather than springing it on you later.

The houses

Large Victorian villas, many long since split into flats, sit alongside post war semis out towards Shiphay and Watcombe and newer housing at the edges of town. What ties them together is the ground. A great many Torquay back gardens rise steeply away from the house and have never been levelled properly, so sloping plots are the norm here rather than the exception.
