Sevenoaks gardens deserve more than off-the-shelf solutions. From compact courtyards in Dunton Green to sprawling lawns near Knole Park, timber decking transforms awkward slopes and unused corners into inviting outdoor rooms. Those challenging clay soils around Otford? Perfect opportunity for raised decking that floats above drainage issues.
Quality timber selection determines everything - longevity, maintenance, even how it weathers to that silver-grey patina. European oak stands up to our variable Kent climate brilliantly. Pressure-treated softwoods offer budget-friendly alternatives without compromising structural integrity. Each board gets hand-selected, checking grain patterns and moisture content before installation begins.
Local knowledge matters when navigating Sevenoaks conservation areas and tree preservation orders. Years working across TN postcodes means understanding which treatments suit north-facing gardens in Kemsing versus sun-trapped terraces overlooking the Darent Valley.

Basic softwood decking starts around £85-120 per square metre including installation. Premium hardwoods like oak or cedar range £140-200. A typical 25sqm deck for a Victorian terrace in TN14 might cost £3,000-5,000 complete.
Absolutely - from Riverhead to Seal, covering all TN13, TN14 and TN15 postcodes. Regular projects in Otford, Dunton Green and Kemsing mean knowing every timber merchant and building control quirk across the area.
Most residential decking projects complete within 5-8 working days from breaking ground. Smaller raised platforms often finish in 3-4 days, weather permitting. Complex multi-level designs might stretch to two weeks.
Every deck carries comprehensive 10-year structural warranty covering framework, fixings and installation workmanship. Timber boards themselves have manufacturer guarantees - typically 15-25 years for pressure-treated softwood, longer for naturally durable hardwoods.
Western red cedar naturally resists moisture without chemical treatment - ideal for our climate swings. Thermowood offers exceptional stability through heat modification. For value, quality pressure-treated pine from FSC sources provides 20+ years service with minimal upkeep.
