Get Your Garden Ready for summer with Outdoor Decking

Summer is just around the corner, and hopefully London will be enjoying some beautiful sunny days and warm evenings over the coming months. Outdoor decking is a stylish and practical way of maximising your outdoor space ready for the summer. Whether you only have a small back garden or a large expanse of space, outdoor decking will transform how you use your garden, not just this year but for many years to come.

Get-together Outdoors with Garden Decking

The garden is an ideal place to hold social gatherings on the weekends or to relax with a glass of wine after a hard day at work. Garden decking can be fitted on uneven or sloping ground, transforming previously unusable space. It is usually fitted as a raised platform, and a good location to consider is leading from the rear doors of the house. This helps to unite your outside space with the indoor living areas, which is the perfect set-up for entertaining. The wooden decking platform can then be used as a site for outdoor furniture, such as a table and chairs – perfect for hosting dinner parties and barbeques.

If you are feeling adventurous why not make use of a decking platform as a location for a hot-tub – what better way to enjoy the summer evenings than entertaining family and friends in your very own hot-tub? You may wish to consider a metal or wooden pergola to be placed over the decking to provide shade and privacy.

Creating Stylish Wooden Decks

Wooden decking needn’t just be an uninspiring square platform. Whether you desire a natural, rustic appearance or a modern feel – it is possible to create the look you want with garden decking. An experienced builder or landscaper will be able to create a platform in a particular shape, whether that is at an angle, or with smooth round lines. Choosing the right design will help you to maximise space, along with having something that looks impressive. Lights can be incorporated into the decking facing out from the sides or directly upwards, giving a warm glow in the evening. Lights not only make your outdoor environment safer at night, they also encourage you to make use of the garden long after sundown! Once the decking is in place it can be stained in a colour that reflects your personal tastes!
