5 Reasons Why You Should Consider Adding Decking To Your Garden This Summer
There are numerous advantages of a decked garden. However, if you’re unsure and need some advice, here is a list of 5 reasons why you should consider adding decking to your garden!
- Timber Is A Natural Material!
Opposed to other materials such as concrete, timber is a natural material and as such timber garden decking blends in with the natural surroundings in a garden. Additionally as a material, timber is easy to modify. This means that if you would like to change your garden, you can easily modify the decked area. As such, you will be able to change your garden space to meet your needs and the needs of your family.
- Garden Decking Is a Versatile Space
If you’re searching for a versatile garden space, choosing to add decking to your garden can be a fantastic project.
Timber decking can be a fantastic way to extend your living spaces. You can relax on some outdoor furniture whilst reading a book during summer months. However, this space could also be used to entertain. Instead of being concerned about garden furniture getting stuck in muddy grass, you can relax on a solid garden deck with your friends and/or family; with a drink or two whilst enjoying the weather!
Additionally, unlike paving your garden, decking can be very simple and swift to install. As such, if you would like to create an outdoor living space to relax and entertain guests during the summer months, garden decking is a great option to go for.
- An Alternative To Paving Slabs
If you have a garden that is challenging to work with, installing a garden deck could be a fantastic solution. Also, garden decking can be a simple and easy to install garden solution and only requires basic maintenance. Indeed, all it needs is a regular brush, a suitable decking cleaner, and as long as you take care of the decking; it should last for a long time!
Additionally, if you want to include plants, you could build raised boxes on top of the decking to add plants of your choosing to your garden. For example, perhaps you could create your own herb garden on top of your decking?
- An Ideal Garden Solution For Uneven Ground
If you have hazardous slopes or uneven ground in your garden, building a deck is a fantastic garden solution.
Instead of deciding to level out areas of your garden, you can instead choose to deck your garden and enjoy not only a level garden area, but also the many other advantages of garden decking.
- Garden Decking Looks Great
It cannot be understated that garden decking has a high amount of aesthetic appeal. Many people enjoy the look and the aesthetics of a decked garden; arguably one of the reasons why it can add more value to a home. Good House Keeping writes that, “A well designed deck will extend a buyer's perception of the home's amount of living space and will help add value.”
So, if you’re searching for a way to improve your home that could also make your home more desirable to potential buyers, building a deck in your garden could be the garden/home improvement project for you.

Should You Choose Hardwood Or Softwood?
With regards to hardwood and softwood, it is important to remember that these are biological terms used to describe different species of wood. For example softwood is made from trees such as Pine, whereas hardwood is made from broadleaved trees such as Oak or Ash.
However, if you choose to utilise a type of softwood for outdoor decking, it must be treated with a preservative. For example, you could use Tanalithe E which helps to prevent rot, and protect from insects.
