This is the second part of our miniseries on the great benefits of three great outdoor products that we supply and install. These are Awnings, Wooden and Composite Decking and Artificial grass. If you missed the first article on awesome Awnings then check out our blog page.
This article is about one of the most commonly used hard landscaping products – Decking. As already alluded to, it comes in two main types which are Wooden Decking and Composite Decking.
Wooden decking is well known as it has been around for a long time used to create links from the home to the pool area, extend patios or great entertainment areas in the middle of a landscaped space.
Composite decking has the same great functionality and uses, but is made of a synthetic material. It is a little more expensive but comes in a wider range of colours and is lower maintenance in the long run.
So, why would we want to substitute garden space for decking? Well, here are a few good reasons why decking outdoor areas is a great idea…
Designers and landscapers love it
Decking looks fabulous and it is an ideal way to enhance the look and feel of outdoor areas. For this reason, it is a great favourite with Landscapers and Building Designers. It creates a wonderful flow between living areas and the garden – and with the colours and styles now available it can make previously dull spaces come alive.
It adds living and lifestyle areas
Wood or composite decking will instantly improve your lifestyle, especially around the swimming pool and entertainment areas and for those who are not particularly keen on maintaining gardens, it adds a lot of useful living space to your home or offices.
It saves water and garden maintenance
Decking is a huge favourite with Guesthouse Owners as removing more of the maintainable garden areas reduces not only their maintenance headaches but also saves on water! Water saving is obviously a significant factor for all of us living in times when water is considered to be costly and precious!
It’s a good investment
It adds credible living areas to your dwelling, and with lower maintenance homes and offices being favoured nowadays, decking can add huge value to your home, office or guesthouse.
