Custom pergola and composite deck in Barnes
The end of Tracy's garden in Barnes was just concrete. We dug it all out and built a custom timber pergola over new grey composite decking, with timber sleeper flowerbeds boxed in around it on three levels. Everything was supplied and installed, with the waste taken away, for £9,000 including VAT.

Where we started
The brief
Tracy's garden in Barnes had an area of plain concrete. It was dug out completely to make way for the new pergola, deck and flowerbeds.
A pergola, composite deck and flowerbeds built together give a defined outdoor space with planting around it. It is a good example of the pergolas and decking we build around Putney and Barnes.

How much does a pergola and composite deck cost in Barnes?
Tracy's project in Barnes SW13 cost £9,000 including VAT, covering the concrete dig-out, a custom timber pergola, grey composite decking, sleeper flowerbeds on three levels and waste removal.
Can you build a pergola to fit my garden?

Sleepers are chunky enough to hold soil and can be stacked to different heights, as with the three levels here.

Yes, including Putney and Richmond. See all our landscape gardeners in Putney.
