Fine Landscaping designs and installs high-quality decking for homeowners across Croydon, from Addiscombe to South Croydon. Whether you want a simple seating platform or a multi-level layout, we create a tidy, durable finish that looks right year-round. We regularly work near East Croydon station and around the Whitgift Centre, so we’re used to busy streets and tight access. Expect clear communication, clean working practices, and a deck built to last.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two gardens are the same. We often design decking to solve sloping lawns, awkward corners, or narrow side returns common in CR0 and CR2. For period properties, we can match traditional details with timber tones; for newer homes, composite decking delivers a sharp, low-maintenance look. Every design is tailored to how you use the space—dining, lounging, or family play.
Our process starts with a site visit, measurements, and a practical design that considers drainage, thresholds and safety. We build on a properly supported subframe, use quality fixings, and finish with neat trims and steps where needed. You’ll get a written plan, transparent costs, and a schedule you can rely on. Local homeowners choose us for consistent workmanship, respectful neighbours-first working, and dependable aftercare.
In the decking Croydon area, we often encounter clay-heavy soils and gardens that hold water after rain, so we design subframes and ventilation to reduce movement and rot risk. Many streets around Waddon, Shirley and Broad Green have limited parking and narrow access, so we plan deliveries and waste removal carefully. We also consider boundary lines, neighbouring fences, and height changes to keep raised decking safe and compliant. If needed, we can advise on drainage and lighting routes before installation.

For decking in London Borough of Croydon, most projects fall within £100–£200 per square metre, depending on materials and complexity. Softwood is usually the most cost-effective, while hardwood and composite sit higher due to product and fixing requirements. Typical total spend is around £2,500–£8,000 for an average garden deck, with raised frames, steps, balustrades and integrated lighting increasing the overall budget.
Most decking installations take 3–5 days from ground preparation to final finishing. Timescales depend on access, whether the ground needs levelling, and if you’re choosing raised or multi-level decking with steps and handrails. Composite boards can take slightly longer due to specific spacing and fixing systems. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after the site survey and keep you updated as the build progresses.
In many cases, garden decking is permitted development and doesn’t require planning permission, especially when it’s low to the ground. However, raised decking, decks close to boundaries, or work on listed buildings can trigger extra rules. There may also be conditions attached to newer developments. We’ll review heights, locations and any constraints, and we can advise if you should check with Croydon Council before work begins.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship for decking installations, covering issues such as structural integrity of the subframe, fixing failures, and installation-related movement (when used and maintained correctly). Materials may also come with manufacturer warranties, particularly for composite boards, which we’ll explain before you choose. We’ll also advise on care, cleaning and ventilation so your deck performs well long term.
We install softwood decking for a classic look on a tighter budget, hardwood decking for rich colour and durability, and composite decking for low maintenance and consistent finish. Design options include raised platforms, multi-level layouts, built-in steps, and decking with lighting for safer evenings. We’ll help you choose board direction, edging details and colours to suit your garden size, sunlight, and the style of your home.
