How we install decking in Islands Common
Longevity comes down to material and care. With proper upkeep softwood decking lasts around 10 to 15 years, hardwood 20 years or more, and composite 25 years or more. Low-maintenance finishes are available on request, easy to clean and designed to keep your deck looking its best for as long as possible.
Uneven or sloping gardens are no obstacle. We design raised and multi-level decking that works with the lie of the land, creating a level, usable surface and, where it helps, separate zones for dining, seating or planting linked by steps.
Signs you might need Decking in Islands Common
- You want to make the most of a garden view with a raised deck that lifts you above the lawn.
- Your patio feels cold and hard and you would prefer the natural warmth of timber underfoot.
- Your lawn is uneven or sloping, and raised or multi-level decking would give you a flat, usable surface.
- You need a deck that stands up to the UK climate without warping, rotting or fading over time.
- You are weighing up the natural warmth of timber against the easy care of composite and want expert advice.
A well-built deck is an investment in how much you enjoy your own garden, adding usable space and lasting appeal to your Islands Common 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
- Absolutely. We can integrate planters, seating, lighting, steps and balustrades into your design from the start. Building features in rather than adding them later gives your Islands Common deck a considered, finished look and makes the whole space work together.
- 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 Islands Common deck is easy to keep looking its best.
- We use slip-resistant finishes across our decking and can add grip strips where extra safety is wanted. That keeps your Islands Common deck safe to use in the wet as well as the dry, which matters through the autumn and winter months.
- 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 Islands Common consultation.
- It starts with a free consultation and site visit. We look at your Islands Common garden, discuss materials and design, then provide a clear written quotation with no obligation. Call or message Driveway & Decking Co. to book yours.
- Timber benefits from occasional care to keep its colour and protect it, while composite simply needs cleaning. We offer low-maintenance finishes across our decking, so your Islands Common deck is easy to look after whichever material you choose.
- 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 Islands Common consultation so the choice suits your garden and budget.
- 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 Islands Common deck reach the top of that range.
- 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 Islands Common project.
- Yes. We can build in planters, seating, lighting, steps and balustrades, designing them into the deck from the start. That gives your Islands Common deck a finished, considered look where everything works together rather than being bolted on later.
