Let’s Take A Look At Your Decking In Abingdon

10 Aug 2022

Decking can make a great feature in any garden. A great alternative to patios, with the added ability to be on multiple levels to create added depth to your garden. However, one of the main drawbacks for many people is their upkeep. So let’s talk decking.

Regular Upkeep

Standard decking, as we all know, does require regular upkeep. Sadly, with wooden decking, there is no escaping the fact that it will need regular treatments to ensure that the wood stays just as strong and looks just as fresh as the day it was laid.
The great thing in 2022 is the number of different treatments that are on the market, so whether you are looking for a watertight stain, a stunning opaque colour or a rough paint to reduce the risk of slips. Many now boast that they are longer lasting than standard treatments, which are ideal if it’s a garden task you hate.
Luckily, here at Abingdons Complete Garden Services, we can help to maintain your decking in Abingdon. This means that you will not have to worry about the hard work, just let us do that for you.

Replacement Decking

Of course, if you already have existing decking that has seen better days, or have recently moved into a new home and don’t really trust the decking, it might be time to invest in some replacement decking. Whether this is just a couple of slats, the whole top of the decking, or even the frame beneath.
Our team have a wealth of experience in installing decking of all sizes and shapes, including multi-layer decking. So no matter the state of your current decking, give us a call and we will be happy to come out and discuss this with you.

Low Maintenance Decking in Abingdon

Not all decking requires regular maintenance. Nor does all decking have a life span of 10 to 15 years. Have you ever thought about composite decking?
This wonderful style of decking has come about in recent years and it taking the nation by storm. And quite literally as it can withstand storms better than your average decking.
Composite decking, similar to new composite doors and windows for your home, has an average lifespan of up to 50 years. It does not require regular maintenance in order for it to last longer, nor does its appearance deteriorate.
Unlike painted decking, the colour does not fade with the sun or weather and maintains its structure. And to clean, it’s as simple as a quick jetwash.
Many people are concerned that their composite decking will be slippery in the wet, however, it has been designed to have a non-slip finish. This means that it can be used even in the rain.
