How to Install Decking Sutton Coldfield

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011

During the last few spells of hot weather, have you been sat in your garden contemplating how you can change it ahead of next summer to get the most out of the area? Other than changing the design and layout of the flowerbeds or adding a water feature, it’s possible to change the look of your garden by installing decking Sutton Coldfield using the extensive range of timber available through us here at Davies Timber.

Along with providing over 11 different sizes of decking timber, which is available in both pre-treated softwood and pre-treated hardwood, our team here at Davies Timber are also able to offer impartial advice on how to create the perfect decking; and below are the four main steps you’ll need to consider.

Planning:

This is perhaps the most important part of the decking process, as you need to plan where you want the decking to go, the size of decking and whether you’ll be using rails or steps within your design.

Preparation:

From preparing the area the decking will be fitted into, which may include removing turf and levelling the soil which a garden maintenance Warwick team would be able to do for you, through to ensuring you have the right equipment and materials to hand, this stage can be rather time consuming. Here at Davies Timber however, we can help to reduce the time spent by providing you with the perfect timber.

Creating the Frame:

With the area prepared and the materials to hand, you can begin creating the frame of the decking. The best way to do this is to build a wooden square which allows the decking to overhang by the thickness of a board around each edge. Following the creation of the box, position and secure the joists which will support the decking. We’d recommend spreading them about 0.75metres apart for a level and supportive area.

Laying the Decking:

Here at Davies Timber, we recommend carrying out this part in two stages.

1)    Lay the decking across the frame. This gives you the opportunity to find the most economical way of fixing it without having too much waste.
2)    Secure the decking, the best way to do this is by using nails.

For more information on the best way to install decking Sutton Coldfield or if you’d like to purchase pre-treated timber before constructing your decking, please contact us today on 0121 6731579.

Decking Design Ideas in Birmingham

Thursday, July 14th, 2011

Decking has become increasingly popular, and when you stop and think about it, it’s not surprising in the least. It adds a new dimension to your garden and the organic material used blends the whole design into your existing garden, without appearing fake or engineered. As timber merchants, here at Davies Timber Ltd we often sell our timber to homeowners looking to add life and vigour into their gardens with a new decking area. Decking Birmingham is great come rain or sunshine, and the best bit is, you can do it yourself.

Decking doesn’t need to be overtly expensive, especially with our help. It really can change how you use your garden, and as such it is paramount that you design a decking area which will reflect how you intend to use the area. Unlike a tarmac drive Birmingham, decking doesn’t look overtly artificial and lends itself to the surrounding natural environment.

Step One: Decide What The Area Will Be Used For

The best tip we can offer those looking to build a decking area, is to first think about how they are intending to use the area. This will affect your overall design and make it fit your requirements with ease.

Step Two: Choose A Shape

The shape determines how you will use the area and how it relates to the rest of your garden. Circular shapes offer a softer shape, while octagonal or rectangular shapes offer more functionality and coordinate with the property’s exterior.

Step Three: One Platform Or Two?

If you have a large garden then you have the option to have a decked area which has more than one platform. This is particularly good for gardens which slope or are uneven. The platforms account for the slope and gradually take the user down the garden without the need for lots of steps.

If you want to improve how your garden looks and how you use it, then decking Birmingham is definitely for you. As timber merchants, we at Davies Timber Ltd source all of our timber from FSC approved forests, giving you a high quality product which is responsibly sourced. For more information contact us on 0121 6731 579.

One area of the garden which is likely to be used throughout the summer is the decking Leicester. A recognised specialist is all too aware that if you want to ensure that yours remains in a stunning condition then it’s essential that you give it the right level of treatment.

The level of treatment you’ll need to provide your decking to ensure that come the summer garden parties it looks stunning, will depend on the level of care and maintenance you’ve provided it during the winter months.

Many of us are guilty of neglecting our gardens during the winter months due to the weather; unfortunately in the long run this can have a detrimental effect on your garden for a number of reasons, particularly your decking.

Due to the harsh winter weather we experienced it’s likely that your decking will have gained some damage, such as cracked timber or chips – but fortunately these can be easily replaced. During winter months it’s also likely that the decking will have gained mould – again this can be easily treated, through the right cleaning products and a bit of elbow grease.

Once your decking is looking clean and any damage has been repaired, you can add essential treatments to preserve it.

This established company strongly believe the best level of treatment to preserve your decking’s life is that of applying a coat of wood preserver or specially designed decking oil – not only will this help preserve your decking, but the treatments will also help reduce the chances of scratches and dents occurring or mould growing on top.

Following the treatment of your decking, your garden will begin to take shape and through the introduction of garden furniture your garden will look stunning as friends and family come round to enjoy the sun and the delights being cooked on the barbeque.

How to Grow a Year Round Garden

Friday, March 11th, 2011

If you’re thinking of working on your garden, the first lesson to learn is that plants, shrubbery, foliage and even manmade features are not static in nature. Here at Eden Landscapes we’ve long since learned that the most beautiful garden landscape designs are those that evolve with the seasons. As year round garden designers Northampton, we have the skill and experience required to ensure gardens have something to offer no matter what time of year it is. We consider the look, feel and use of your garden, plus its scents and colours to reach the perfect fusion of beauty, usability and longevity.

The secret to growing an all round garden lies largely in the type of plants you encourage to grow therein. However, the materials used to create features and furniture is also a major factor. Spring and Summer are relatively simple to deal with; it’s the months of Autumn and Winter than can cause your garden problems.

Materials

Here at Eden Landscapes, we always design and build our clients’ gardens to provide a practical place to enjoy for many years to come – not just something that is practical to have for a season. This means that, whether we’re building beautiful decking, or sourcing garden furniture for you, we’ll select durable materials which have been finished with the appropriate preservative chemicals.

For example, when selecting furniture – teak or similar hardwoods always weather better than softwood designs, especially when treated with the relevant oils regularly. Remember too that wooden decking can fade in summer and if it’s not treated with wood preservatives and varnishes in the wetter months, rot could set in.

Plants

Here at Eden Landscapes we have an enviable level of horticultural expertise, meaning that our garden designers Northampton make carefully considered choices when suggesting the foliage for you. We consider elements like soil PH and drainage requirements, available sunlight and privacy considerations in order to ensure each plant is placed perfectly for enjoyment all year round. Plants capable of providing an injection of year round colour include the Japanese Skimmia (Skimmia Japonica Rubella) or Mahonia (Mahonia Media Charity).

Reuse, Recycle, Redesign Your Garden in Windsor

Monday, March 7th, 2011

With spring not far away, now is the ideal time if you haven’t already, to dig out your forks, spades and secateurs, dust them down and get out into the garden to prune back any bushes or shrubs which have become a bit overgrown during the winter, giving your flowerbeds the perfect opportunity to blossom. For those who aren’t fond of getting their hands in the soil and digging around, here at Kite Landscapes we can provide garden maintenance services and garden design Windsor so come the start of spring your garden looks spectacular.

The garden design Windsor that we here at Kite Landscapes provide isn’t just about coming into your garden, digging up all your current plants and shrubs and replacing them with new flowers or water features. Instead, our team listen to what you want from a garden, and then achieve this by reusing and recycling the current crop of plants and garden furniture that resides there.

An old timber shed that’s no longer used can be carefully taken apart and reused as a beautiful decking area for you to enjoy those warm summer evenings under the canvas of the night sky; or even to create a raised flowerbed/compost bin.

If you’ve previously had a rockery in your garden and no longer find it aesthetically pleasing, we can carefully dismantle it to not only free up space, but to use the rocks to create an intricate pathway through your garden, or to create a beautiful water feature which oozes elegance.

The garden design Windsor options available to you, through reusing, recycling and redesigning your garden are endless. Here at Kite Landscapes, through our experience in the gardening industry and your creative ideas, we will be able to achieve the perfect garden for your surroundings, which we promise will continue to amaze and excite throughout all seasons.
