Overview
Decking in Crowthorne
A deck that flexes, sags or traps water underneath almost always comes down to what's built underneath it, not the boards on top. Hills Driveways & Patios fits both wooden and composite decking across Crowthorne on a properly built substructure, with joists spaced and supported correctly so the deck stays solid for years.
We're Checkatrade-approved, and one team handles your decking project from the first site visit to the final clean-down.

What Our Crowthorne Customers Say
Wooden Decking
Timber decking gives Crowthorne gardens a natural, warm look that many homeowners prefer over composite alternatives. It's generally cheaper to install than composite, but needs regular maintenance, staining or sealing every year or two, to prevent rot, splitting and discolouration. With that upkeep, a well-built timber deck on a solid substructure can last well for many years.

Composite Decking
Composite decking is made from a mix of wood fibres and recycled plastic, giving a low-maintenance alternative to timber that resists rotting, splintering and fading. It costs more upfront than timber, but doesn't need staining or sealing, and holds up well against Crowthorne weather over time. It's a popular choice for homeowners who want the look of decking without the yearly maintenance.

Wooden vs Composite: Which Should You Choose?
If you want a natural look and don't mind annual maintenance, timber is usually the better fit, and it's the cheaper option upfront. If you'd rather avoid staining and sealing every year and are happy to pay more initially, composite tends to work out better over the long term. We'll talk through both options for your Crowthorne garden and budget when we visit.

Cost
How Much Does Decking Cost in Crowthorne?
The cost of decking depends on several factors:
- The size of the deck
- Whether you choose timber or composite boards
- Ground conditions and how much substructure work is needed
- Height and whether balustrades or steps are required
Because of this, we don't quote over the phone. We visit your Crowthorne property, assess the site, and give you a written, itemised quote so you know exactly what you're paying for before any work starts.
