Decking Installation in Hampshire & Oxfordshire

Got questions about adding a new deck to your garden? At Trustmark Paving, we believe in making things clear and simple. Here are some common queries we help our clients with.

A new deck really transforms your garden! It’s a fantastic way to create a dedicated area for relaxing, dining, or entertaining friends and family. Decking can make uneven garden areas usable, extend your living space outdoors, and often adds value to your property. We work with you to design a deck that perfectly suits how you want to use your outdoor space, whether it's for quiet mornings or lively summer barbecues.

We offer a choice of quality materials to suit different tastes and budgets. Many of our clients love traditional timber decking – we can provide durable softwood options, often pressure-treated for longevity, or premium hardwood for a truly luxurious finish. For those looking for a lower-maintenance solution, composite decking is an excellent choice. It’s incredibly hard-wearing, comes in various colours and finishes, and doesn't require regular staining or sealing. Our skilled team can discuss the pros and cons of each to help you choose the best fit for your needs and garden.

The time it takes to install your new deck depends on a few things, like the size of the deck, the complexity of the design, and the site conditions. A straightforward, smaller deck might only take a few days, while larger, more intricate projects could take a week or more. When we provide your free quote, we’ll also give you an estimated timeframe. Our experienced team works efficiently and with precision to bring your new outdoor space to life with minimal disruption.

In many cases, decking is considered a 'permitted development', meaning you don't need specific planning permission. This usually applies if the deck isn't more than 30cm off the ground and, along with other extensions and outbuildings, doesn't cover more than 50% of your garden area. However, rules can vary, especially if you're in a conservation area or have a listed building. We're happy to discuss this with you and can offer professional advice based on our experience working in areas like Tadley, Basingstoke, and across the Hampshire and Berkshire borders.

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our skilled team has years of experience in expertly installing decks. We start by building a robust and level sub-frame, because a strong foundation is key to a long-lasting deck. We only use quality materials from reputable suppliers, whether you choose timber or composite. Every step, from planning to the final screw, is carried out with precision and attention to detail. We take pride in our work, aiming to create a beautiful and durable deck you'll enjoy for years.

Absolutely! We love working with clients to create unique decking solutions. Your garden is personal, and your deck should reflect that. We can design decks of various shapes and sizes, incorporate features like steps, balustrades, or even built-in seating. Whether you have a clear vision or need some inspiration, our team will discuss your ideas and needs to design a deck that truly enhances your outdoor lifestyle and complements your home.

The amount of maintenance your deck needs depends on the material you choose. Traditional timber decks benefit from an annual clean and may need re-staining or sealing every few years to keep them looking their best and protect the wood. Composite decking is very low maintenance – it generally just needs a good wash down with soapy water to keep it clean. We’ll provide you with all the information on how to care for your specific new deck once it's installed.
