Softwood, hardwood or composite: the right decking for your North Side garden depends on the look you want, your budget and how much upkeep you are happy with. Driveway & Decking Co. install all three across North Side and the rest of Cambridgeshire, and we help you weigh up the options before a single board is cut.
How we install decking in North Side
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.
The first decision is the material. Softwood is affordable and versatile, treated for a long life. Hardwood brings rich, natural tones with premium strength and durability. Composite is low-maintenance and slip-resistant, and comes in a range of colours. We talk you through each one so you land on the deck that suits your home and budget.
Signs you might need Decking in North Side
- You are choosing between the low upkeep of composite and the character of natural timber.
- You want separate zones for dining and seating linked together across the garden.
- 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.
- You would rather have a low-maintenance outdoor space than one that needs constant upkeep.
Spreading the cost is easy too, with finance options available on your decking. Get in touch and our North Side team will help you find the right material, the right design and the right plan for your budget.

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
- For many North Side 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.
- Yes. We can build in planters, seating, lighting, steps and balustrades, designing them into the deck from the start. That gives your North Side deck a finished, considered look where everything works together rather than being bolted on later.
- 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 North Side 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 North Side deck reach the top of that range.
- 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 North Side consultation so the choice suits your garden and budget.
- We use slip-resistant finishes across our decking and can add grip strips where extra safety is wanted. That keeps your North Side 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 North Side consultation.
- Yes. We design raised and multi-level decking to suit uneven or sloping gardens, working with the lie of the land to create a level, usable surface. It is one of the best ways to reclaim an awkward North Side garden.
- Yes. Driveway & Decking Co. design and install decking across North Side 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.
- Yes. Raised and multi-level decking is one of our specialities, ideal for sloping or uneven North Side gardens and for making the most of a view. We build a sound frame and supports so the finished deck is level, stable and safe underfoot.
