An area of decking outside your home offers a stylish alternative to paving. Let Garden Builders Wales design and create an outdoor space for you to relax, entertain and enjoy your garden.
There are two types of wood in the world. Softwood comes from evergreen trees, mainly pine. Hardwood comes from deciduous trees. Some hardwood is soft (eg. balsa) and some softwood is hard (eg. pitch pine). Hardwood is not better than softwood, it is simply different.
Hardwood decks look different to softwood decks - and the cost is different. Hardwoods come in many different colours and they always cost more than softwood. Sometimes 50% more.
Maintenance of Wood
Our Scandinavian pine is pressure treated against rot - an industry standard process that is safe and effective and has been proven for over 50 years. All you need to do is give the deck a clean after a few years to keep it immaculate.
Hardwoods come in many colours. The colours however, do not last. All hardwood will eventually weather to silver grey over time. Some in months, some in years. The colour can be maintained by regular oiling. We will advise you all about hardwood maintenance when you come to choose your wood.
