Why Choose Timber Decking?

Nothing quite matches the look and feel of natural wood. Every timber board has its own unique grain pattern, giving your deck a character and warmth that manufactured materials can only imitate. Timber develops a beautiful natural patina over time — some homeowners love the silver-grey weathered look, while others prefer to maintain the original colour with regular oiling. Either way, timber decking ages gracefully and adds genuine charm to any Liverpool garden.

• Pressure-Treated Softwood — The most popular and affordable choice. Treated to resist rot and insect damage. With proper maintenance, it'll serve you well for 10-15 years. Ideal for budget-friendly projects. • Western Red Cedar — A step up in quality and natural durability. Beautiful reddish tones and natural oils that resist decay. Lasts 15-20 years with proper care. • Ipe — A tropical hardwood renowned for its exceptional density and durability. Virtually indestructible, with a rich chocolate-brown colour. Can last 30+ years. • Cumaru — Similar performance to Ipe at a slightly lower price point. Beautiful golden-brown colour with excellent weather resistance.

• Natural Aesthetics — Unmatched warmth and character that enhances any garden setting. • Cost-Effective — Softwood timber is the most affordable decking option. • Easily Customisable — Can be stained or painted any colour. Easy to cut and shape on site. • Sustainable — When sourced from managed forests (FSC certified), timber is a renewable resource. • Repairable — Individual boards can be easily replaced without affecting the rest of the deck. • Pleasant Underfoot — Natural wood feels warm and comfortable to walk on, even on cooler days.

Liverpool's damp climate means timber decking benefits from regular care. Here's our recommended maintenance routine: • Spring: Deep clean with a quality decking cleaner to remove winter algae and dirt. • Summer: Apply a UV-protective decking oil or stain. This is the best time as the wood needs to be dry. • Autumn: Clear fallen leaves regularly to prevent moisture trapping. • Winter: Sweep off snow and avoid using salt-based de-icers. With this simple routine, your timber deck will look beautiful and last for many years. We provide all our customers with detailed aftercare guidance.

Timber decking is perfect if you: • Love the look and feel of natural wood • Enjoy garden maintenance as part of outdoor living • Want the most cost-effective installation option • Prefer a material that can be easily modified or repaired • Value sustainability and renewable materials If maintenance isn't your thing, composite decking might be a better fit.
