Those classic Victorian terraces around Morden Park deserve outdoor spaces that match their charm. Timber decking brings warmth and character to SM4 gardens, whether you're working with a compact courtyard or one of those generous plots near St Helier.

Morden's mix of housing styles calls for thoughtful decking solutions. From the Edwardian semis along Grand Drive to newer developments near the tube station, each property presents unique opportunities. Local gardens often slope towards the back – perfect for multi-level decking that maximises every square metre. The clay-heavy soil common in SM4 actually works in your favour, providing stable ground once properly prepared.
Quality timber selection makes all the difference in our unpredictable British weather. European oak withstands Morden's occasional flooding better than softwoods, while thermowood offers exceptional stability without chemical treatments. Proper joist spacing prevents that bouncy feeling underfoot, and strategic drainage channels protect against water pooling – particularly important given how rain collects in Lower Morden's low-lying areas. Hidden fixings preserve the clean lines while allowing natural wood movement through the seasons.
Twenty years of building decks across South London taught us which details matter most. Every project starts with understanding how you'll actually use the space, not just ticking boxes on a quote form.

Most SM4 gardens run 8-12 metres deep, with decking areas typically covering 20-35m². Budget £120-180 per square metre for pressure-treated pine, £200-300 for premium hardwoods. A complete 25m² deck usually lands between £3,000-£7,500 depending on access, levels, and timber choice.
Absolutely – from the Hatfeild Mead estate to properties backing onto Morden Hall Park, throughout SM4. Regular projects in St Helier, Morden Park, and those tricky sloped gardens near Pyl Brook.
Straightforward installations take 3-5 days, weather permitting. Complex designs with multiple levels or awkward access might need a full week. Most SM4 projects book 2-3 weeks ahead during peak season.
Full decade coverage on structure and workmanship, with timber warranties varying by species. Annual inspection visits help catch minor issues before they escalate – particularly useful given Morden's mature tree coverage dropping debris year-round.
Shaded spots near boundary walls stay damp longer, making hardwoods like Iroko ideal. Its natural oils resist moisture without heavy maintenance. For constantly shaded areas, consider composite alternatives – they handle Morden's tree cover without developing algae issues common on softwood decks.
