Top Garden Decking related questions
Garden decking creates cosy outdoor spaces for relaxation, al fresco dining, and summer BBQs. The types of decking range from pure timber to composite decks. Decking provides versatile designs to suit any purpose. What’s more, decking complements plant life and provides a more natural aesthetic than stone paving.
Planning requirements vary from case to case. For example, you’ll need to get planning permission if your deck will be higher than 300 mm (~1 ft) from the ground. Also, planning permission applies to decks within 20 metres of a highway or situated in a conservation area. You may also need permission if your deck will affect the amenity value or privacy of neighbouring properties. For updated planning guidelines, you may contact your local authority.
It depends on the situation. The type of licence depends on the deck's size and height, local council regulations, and state licensing authorities. Simple deck installations may not need a licensed deck builder. On the other hand, you’ll need a licensed deck builder to install a deck that requires planning approval.
Garden deck installation can take as little as 1 to 2 days. This timeframe applies to small gardens (e.g. 15 square metres). But labour time may vary depending on the size of your garden, decking material, and the number of tradesmen building the deck. Taskers can give you a customised estimate once you put up a task for your garden decking needs.
Garden decking is usually cheaper and easier to install than paving. However, paving slabs lasts longer than decking. Paving is not only pricier than decking, but the former takes more time to install. Decking and paving each have their trade-offs, and your choice boils down to budget and style preference. Both decking and paving services are available on our platform. And we can help you find specialists within your budget.
Yes, some Taskers may be able to offer rat-proofing services along with garden deck installation. One way to rat-proof a deck is to install strong chicken wire under the deck. Chicken wire can prevent rats from getting through. Simply include rat-proofing in your garden decking request to avail of this service. We’ll then connect you with tradesmen who can do the job.

What do garden decking services include?
Taskers offer all sorts of garden decking services, including deck installation and deck maintenance. Your Tasker can even handle the trip to the home improvement store. This way, you can stay in the comfort of your home while your Tasker picks up and transports your decking materials to your location.
The main types of garden decking include softwood, hardwood, and composite material. Here’s an overview of the different types of decking services you can request on our platform.
Timber decking
Turn your unused space into a liveable area for relaxing and socialising. Timber decking comes in many forms, such as garden decks, terraces, and rooftop spaces. You can hire a Tasker to build any structure of your choosing, be it a small garden deck or swimming pool deck. To achieve the ultimate cosy space, you can also ask your Tasker to line your deck with pretty garden lights.
On top of your decking installation, why not hire a gardener to build you some garden beds or trim your hedges? Or have a Tasker come over to do a general garden clean-up or take away your discarded shrubs and excess soil.
Softwood decking
Softwood comes from fast-growing trees like pine. As a result, softwood is one of the cheapest decking materials in the market. Not to mention, softwood decking is easy to install. While softwood is weaker than hardwood and composite decks, softwood can last up to 25 years with regular cleaning and oil treatments.
(If you prefer low-maintenance decking, artificial grass or AstroTurf are some good alternatives.) Once your softwood deck is ready, a furniture assembler can come over to set up your outdoor dining table or playground.
Hardwood decking
Hardwood may be one of the most expensive decking materials out there, but it can be worth the investment. This material has a beautiful and high-end appearance. Furthermore, hardwood can last for more than 50 years and requires less maintenance than softwood. Hardwood decking comes from Oak and other slow-growing trees.
For this reason, hardwood is rarer and more expensive than other decking materials. It may be harder to work with hardwood, but an experienced deck specialist can guide you through the planning and building process. Our platform can also connect you with garden shed builders if you need a space to store your tools and bikes.
Composite decking
Composite decking combines the benefits of wood and plastic. Like wood, composite decks are aesthetically pleasing. Also, composite decks come in a wide range of colours and textures that look like real wood. At the same time, composite decking provides features you don’t get from pure wood. For example, composite decks are waterproof and require little maintenance.
In fact, composite material is less prone to mould and algae growth. Composite decking can also last for over 50 years. We can help you minimise costs by connecting you with quality composite decking builders within your budget.

Demolish an old garden deck

Cheadle Hulme, Greater Manchester
23rd Jun 2021
I run a small decking business and I need an old pine deck demolishing and putting in a skip. If I did it myself it would take me approx. 2 hrs. It's 25sqm and it's in pretty bad shape, lots of loose boards and is quite rotten. It's sitting on 4 inch joists that are on the ground so it will break up very easily. The skip will be at the back of the house approximately 5 yds from where the deck is. It's in Cheadle Hulme, I need it doing anytime before Monday July 5th. You won't need much more than a saw, a hammer and maybe a lever.

I’ve had to lift a portion of my decking to get access to a manhole. I’m looking for someone to come and screw back the lifted pieces and cut a square around the manhole so that I can access it again in the future. I’d also like to powerhose the whole thing. 1 piece of decking has split, so this will probably also need replacing.
