Richmond gardens deserve decking that looks refined and performs year after year. From family terraces near Richmond Green to larger plots close to Richmond Park, we design and install decks that feel like a natural extension of your home. Expect crisp lines, secure fixings and a finish that complements brickwork, stone and planting. We also build raised and multi-level decking to make the most of sloping lawns and awkward levels.
The Richmond area brings a mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian villas and sought-after riverside properties, each with different access and layout challenges. We regularly work across TW9 and TW10, including Kew, Ham and Petersham, where gardens can be long, narrow or gently terraced. Our detailing is tailored to period architecture, whether you want a traditional timber look or a sleek composite board. Where privacy matters, we can integrate balustrades and screening without making the space feel boxed in.
We start with a site visit to measure levels, check drainage and discuss how you’ll use the space day to day. You’ll receive a clear specification for materials, subframe build-up and finishing details, so there are no surprises. Our team protects surrounding paving and planting, works tidily, and keeps you updated at each stage. Homeowners choose our decking contractors Richmond area service for reliable scheduling, careful workmanship and a long-lasting result.
As decking contractors in London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, we plan for varied ground conditions, including compacted clay and areas affected by mature tree roots. Access can be tight around terraced streets, and parking restrictions are common near Richmond Bridge and busy routes, so we schedule deliveries carefully. We also account for riverside moisture and shade, selecting fixings and finishes that cope well. The result is a deck that stays stable, safe and smart-looking in Richmond’s changeable conditions.

Costs vary by size, material and whether you need steps, balustrades or lighting. As a guide in Richmond, softwood decking often starts around £120–£180 per m² installed, hardwood typically £180–£280 per m², and composite around £200–£320 per m². Raised or multi-level builds, complex edging and built-in seating can increase the total due to extra structure and labour. We provide a detailed, itemised quotation after a site visit.
Most standard decks take around 2–5 days to install once materials are on site. Raised decking, multi-level layouts, integrated lighting, or extensive balustrades can extend this to 1–2 weeks. Timescales depend on ground preparation, access for deliveries, and whether we’re building around existing patios, trees or level changes. We’ll confirm a realistic programme before starting and keep you updated if weather affects curing or groundwork.
Many garden decking projects fall under permitted development, especially when the deck is low and doesn’t significantly alter ground levels. However, planning rules can change if the decking is raised, affects privacy, is close to boundaries, or if your property is listed or in a conservation area. In Richmond upon Thames there can be additional considerations for period homes and sensitive streetscapes. We’ll advise what’s likely to apply and can help you check requirements before work begins.
