Timber decking remains one of the most popular choices for Liverpool homeowners who want a natural, warm aesthetic in their garden. At Liverpool Decking, we are experienced timber decking installers serving Liverpool and the wider Merseyside area. Our team works with premium softwood and hardwood timbers to create stunning outdoor spaces that enhance your property and provide years of enjoyment.
The Beauty of Natural Timber Decking
There's something undeniably appealing about natural wood decking. The warmth of the grain, the character of real timber, and the way it naturally complements a garden setting make it a timeless choice for Liverpool properties.
We work with a range of timber species, each offering different characteristics:
• Pressure-Treated Softwood — The most affordable option, treated to resist rot and insect damage. Ideal for budget-conscious projects without compromising on quality.
• Western Red Cedar — A naturally durable hardwood with beautiful reddish tones and excellent weather resistance. A premium choice that ages gracefully.
• Ipe and Cumaru Hardwoods — Exceptionally dense tropical hardwoods that offer outstanding durability and a luxurious finish. Perfect for homeowners seeking the very best.
Whichever timber you choose, we ensure it's sourced responsibly and treated appropriately for Liverpool's climate.

Timber Decking Maintenance in Liverpool
Timber decking does require some ongoing care to keep it looking its best. In Liverpool's damp climate, we recommend:
• Annual cleaning with a decking cleaner to remove algae and dirt
• Applying a quality decking oil or stain every 1-2 years
• Checking fixings and tightening any loose screws
• Clearing leaves and debris to prevent moisture build-up
With proper maintenance, a well-built timber deck can last 15-20 years or more. We provide all our customers with detailed aftercare guidance and are always happy to advise on maintenance products.
