With
Summer fast approaching, now might be the time to re-invigorate your
garden space and there are many ways that you might wish to do so.
From planting beautiful flora and fauna, to selecting some rustic
garden furniture or even just mowing the lawn; time spent in the
garden is a great way to unwind from the daily stresses of life.
In
the US companies have been
catering to the decking needs of the masses for years. Of course, here in the UK we aren't blessed
with the climate of many of the States, but that does nothing to dampen
our optimism once we experience a day or two of 60 degree heat in April.
Timber decking in the UK is fast becoming one of the go to's for many
a garden lover seeking to enjoy their home to the maximum.
Decks can be a great addition to any garden and there are a few reasons why I
would consider investing in some good quality decking if i were you. There are
numerous benefits of using timber decking for any kind of landscaping
structures in your garden when compared to other more traditional
hard patios and terraces.

Some
Of The Benefits Of Decking
Timber
decking provides a much more comfortable surface for walking, sitting
and even lying on. Therefore it is much more forgiving on the lower
limb joints than if you were to be pottering around on concrete,
brick or paving slabs.
Timber
decking can be very aesthetically pleasing, while I can't deny that I
love a well designed patio, there is something very natural about
using wood for any decking in the natural space of the garden. It
helps to create a more harmonious space, whereas the harshness of
traditional patio designs can often be quite a harsh contrast in an
otherwise natural looking garden.
As
well as looking great, decking can also be used to conceal unsightly
necessities. such as manhole covers and drains, which is a bonus.
One
of the current trends within the sphere of British contemporary
landscaping is the concept of the 'new garden' in which the exterior
is to be treated more as an 'outside room'. In this context , timber
decking can be an excellent method of 'extending the living space of
a building-outdoors'. Also it adds a definite warmth to the space,
more so than with traditional hard terrace surfaces.

Decking
is also highly flexible and it can be a safer alternative for the
space particularly for those with children. Whether dining,
entertaining or relaxing with a glass of wine, whatever your reason
for creating a deck, it is one of the most attractive additions which
can be made to a home's exterior space. Decking can also harness the
potential of terrain which isn't perfectly flat. This is handy to
know as many people have gardens which often feature undulating type
terrain or sloping gradients.
A
well designed and installed deck can be a beautiful as well as
functional addition to your garden, thereby extending the potential
usage of your garden space in general. Decking is also fairly easily
modified and extended and even the installation of decking is less
intrusive in terms of the scale of ground work preparation and
excavation.

Environmental
Benefit Of Using Timber Decking
Wood
is a much more beneficial material to make use of in the garden when
compared with others. This is due to the harvesting and conversion of
timber which creates less pollution than for the harvesting of other
man made materials which are often from non-renewable sources. The by
products of timber processing such as sawdust and wood chipping can
also be used efficiently.
