Softwood, hardwood or composite: the right decking for your Cottenham garden depends on the look you want, your budget and how much upkeep you are happy with. Driveway & Decking Co. install all three across Cottenham and the rest of Cambridgeshire, and we help you weigh up the options before a single board is cut.
How we install decking in Cottenham
Timber and composite each have their place. Timber gives you natural beauty and warmth, the classic look most people picture when they think of decking. Composite is more low-maintenance and resists fading, rot and warping, which makes it a strong choice if you would rather spend time on the deck than looking after it.
A deck is only as good as the structure underneath it, so every one we build starts with a sound, properly built frame and supports. That is what keeps the surface level, stable and safe to walk on for years, rather than sagging or flexing once the weather gets to it.
Signs you might need Decking in Cottenham
- You want separate zones for dining and seating linked together across the garden.
- You are refreshing your Cottenham home or garden and want an outdoor room that adds real, lasting appeal.
- You are choosing between the low upkeep of composite and the character of natural timber.
- You want somewhere level and practical to relax, entertain or dine outdoors through the warmer months.
- You want to make the most of a garden view with a raised deck that lifts you above the lawn.
A well-built deck is an investment in how much you enjoy your own garden, adding usable space and lasting appeal to your Cottenham home. Speak to our Cambridgeshire team about your project and we will walk you through the material options with no pressure.

Cannot recommend these guys enough. James, Ross, George and John all done an amazing job transforming my driveway and patio. Professional from the outset with a final finish that impresses everyone that sees it, that will last years to come!
We had our driveway done this year and they did a fantastic job. I'm really happy with the outcome. I would recommend this company.
Had these guys do my garden from a recommendation. They have done a fantastic job . My garden now looks amazing. Anyone who's thinking of having a garden makeover or a new drive I highly recommend this company. 10/10
Fantastic team, professional but friendly. They have done a brilliant job on our front drive a few years ago and this year on our back garden, with new decking, imprinted concrete patio and pathway and finished off with a gravel area and turf. They did the whole job from start, clearing the area, working through bad weather where they could and only the recent snow held the job up and only by a couple of days! Definitely recommend 100%. Thanks guys!
Very pleased with our driveway which was completed in January. Communication before the job was great and the work was carried out efficiently and to a high standard. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking to get imprinted concrete work done.
They did a brilliant job on our garden, good value and a great finish. Highly recommend :)

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes. We offer a full design-to-installation service, handling everything from concept to completion. Every deck is custom-built to suit your garden's shape, style and needs, so your Cottenham project is tailored to your space rather than an off-the-shelf kit.
- Yes. We install softwood, hardwood and composite. Hardwood brings rich, natural tones with premium strength and durability, lasting 20 years or more with proper care. We help you decide if it is the right fit for your Cottenham garden and budget.
- Yes. Driveway & Decking Co. design and install decking across Cottenham and the wider Cambridgeshire area, within our 25-mile radius from Sawtry near Huntingdon. You get a genuinely local installer who knows the region and the gardens in it.
- As a guide, softwood decking starts from £120 per m², hardwood from £160 per m² and composite from £180 per m². The exact figure depends on the size, the material and any features. We provide a free, no-obligation quote for every Cottenham project.
- With proper care, softwood decking lasts around 10 to 15 years, hardwood 20 years or more, and composite 25 years or more. Choosing the right material and adding a low-maintenance finish helps your Cottenham deck reach the top of that range.
- Composite lasts the longest, 25 years or more with proper care, followed by hardwood at 20 years or more and softwood at 10 to 15 years. We help you match material to budget and upkeep at your free Cottenham consultation.
- Yes. We can build in planters, seating, lighting, steps and balustrades, designing them into the deck from the start. That gives your Cottenham deck a finished, considered look where everything works together rather than being bolted on later.
- For many Cottenham homeowners, yes. Composite costs more up front but is low-maintenance and resists fading, rot and warping, and it lasts 25 years or more with proper care. If you want to spend time on the deck rather than maintaining it, it is well worth considering.
- It depends on what you want. Timber offers natural beauty and warmth, while composite is more low-maintenance and resistant to fading, rot and warping. We help you weigh both up at your free Cottenham consultation so the choice suits your garden and budget.
- It depends on the material. Composite is the most low-maintenance and simply needs cleaning, while timber benefits from occasional treatment to protect it. We offer low-maintenance finishes across our decking so your Cottenham deck is easy to keep looking its best.
