Coulsdon gardens often open out towards Farthing Downs and Happy Valley, so a well-planned deck can make the most of those views and evening light. Fine Landscaping designs and builds decking that feels like a natural extension of your home. Whether you want a simple platform for dining or a statement multi-level layout, we tailor the build to your plot. We work across CR5, including Old Coulsdon and Chipstead Valley.
The Coulsdon area combines large detached houses, characterful 1930s properties and newer developments, each needing a different approach to levels, drainage and detailing. For sloping plots near Coulsdon Common, raised decking can create a flat, usable terrace without major excavation. For modern gardens, composite decking offers a clean, low-maintenance finish that stays smart year-round. We also match balustrades and steps to existing patios, lawns and planting schemes for a cohesive look.
Our process starts with a site visit, measured design and clear material options, then a structured build plan you can rely on. We install robust subframes, correct fixings and proper ventilation gaps to reduce movement and prolong lifespan. Every project is finished with neat edges, safe steps and optional lighting for year-round use. Homeowners choose us because we communicate clearly, keep sites tidy, and stand behind our workmanship.
As decking contractors Coulsdon area homeowners trust, we’re used to the varied ground conditions around CR5, from chalky downland edges to heavier garden soils. Access and parking can differ between Old Coulsdon streets and newer developments, so we plan deliveries and waste removal to minimise disruption. We also consider drainage run-off and ventilation, especially on raised builds. For projects involving boundaries or height changes, we can guide you on what the London Borough of Croydon typically expects.

Costs depend on size, height, access and material choice. As a guide, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite around £160–£260 per m². Raised or multi-level decks, stairs, balustrades, built-in seating and lighting add to the total. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site visit in CR5.
Most standard decks are completed in 2–5 days once materials are on site. Larger designs, raised structures, multi-level layouts, or builds with balustrades, steps, seating and lighting can take 1–2 weeks. Timescales are affected by ground preparation, drainage requirements, awkward access, and whether we’re tying into existing patios or walls. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before work starts and keep you updated throughout.
Many garden decking projects are permitted development, especially when they’re low-level and don’t significantly alter the property’s appearance. Planning may be needed if the deck is raised above certain heights, affects privacy, sits close to boundaries, or if your home is listed or in a restricted area. We’ll flag any potential issues during the site survey and advise on what to check with the London Borough of Croydon before proceeding.
We provide a 10-year workmanship warranty on our decking installations, covering defects caused by installation issues such as subframe construction, fixings and structural stability. Material warranties vary by product: many composite boards come with manufacturer guarantees, while timber performance depends on species and maintenance. We’ll explain the care requirements, recommended treatments for softwood/hardwood, and how to keep drainage and ventilation clear to protect the deck long-term.
We install softwood decking for value, hardwood for a premium natural finish, and composite for low maintenance and consistent colour. Design options include raised decking for slopes, multi-level zones for dining and lounging, and integrated balustrades for safety and style. Built-in seating and discreet LED lighting are popular in Coulsdon for evening use. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and finishes that suit your home and garden layout.
