Well designed garden decking can change how you use your garden. It creates a warm, comfortable surface for seating and dining, and it solves problems with slopes, level changes, and awkward layouts. At Escape Garden Design, we design and build high quality decking as part of our wider garden design and landscape gardening work across Cheshire.
We’re a family-run team of garden designers and landscape gardeners working in Macclesfield, Wilmslow, and nearby towns and villages. Every decking project is carefully planned, properly built, and designed to sit naturally within the rest of the garden.
Design-led Decking That Fits Your Garden
Decking should feel like it belongs. It shouldn’t look dropped in as an afterthought. That’s why our approach always starts with design.
We look at how you want to use the space, how it connects to the house, and how it works alongside planting, paving, and lawns. When the layout is right, decking becomes part of the garden rather than a separate feature.
Good decking can create usable space on sloping ground, provide a solid base for furniture, link inside and outside living, and guide movement through the garden. Getting this right is what makes the space feel easy to use.
Types of Decking That We Install
We install a range of decking materials and help you choose what suits your home, budget, and appetite for maintenance.
Timber Garden Decking
Timber decking remains a popular choice. It has a natural warmth that works well in both traditional and contemporary gardens. Timber softens hard landscaping and pairs well with planting and lawns. We use high quality treated timber and give clear advice on care so it ages well.
Composite Garden Decking
Composite decking is a low maintenance alternative. It offers a consistent finish, resists rot and warping, and doesn’t need regular treatment. It’s often chosen for modern homes and busy family gardens, particularly in areas like Wilmslow where clients want a clean, durable finish.
Garden Decking Inspiration
We work with trusted suppliers to ensure that our customers receive only the highest quality materials. Have a look at some of them to give you some decking inspiration.
Raised Decks and Level Changes
Decking really comes into its own on sloping sites. Raised platforms can create level seating or dining areas and improve access from the house.
We regularly design and build raised decks with steps, multi-level layouts, and schemes where decking works alongside paving or lawns. Structure, drainage, and safety are always part of the design, not something bolted on later.
Quality Construction and Attention to Detail
As with all our landscaping work, what sits underneath matters. Good decking relies on solid foundations, strong subframes, and the right fixings.
We take care with ground preparation, ventilation, and structural support. Boards are fitted accurately, edges are finished cleanly, and details around steps and transitions are properly thought through. This is what keeps a deck solid, safe, and looking good years down the line.
Why choose Escape Garden Design for your Decking Project?
Many clients come to us after struggling to get clear advice or seeing decking fail sooner than it should. We keep things straightforward.
We’re a local, family-run business. Our work is design led, not rushed. We use quality materials, skilled craftsmanship, and manage projects from design through to build. Pricing is clear and advice is honest.
Decking often forms part of a full garden transformation, but we’re equally happy to design and build a well planned deck as a standalone project.
Areas We Cover
We design and build decking across Cheshire, including Macclesfield, Wilmslow, Prestbury, Alderley Edge, Hale and Altrincham, and surrounding towns and villages. Local experience helps us design decking that suits both your home and the Cheshire climate.
How much does garden decking cost?
Costs depend on size, materials, and complexity. In most cases, decking forms part of a wider landscaping project, with overall garden design works typically starting from around £10-15,000. A stand-alone decking project may be far less than this.
We talk about budget early, so you can decide whether a project is right for you before moving forward. Prices for our Garden Design Packages are clearly laid out here, but if you would like to understand more about the likely costs involved in garden decking, take a look at our Landscape Gardening Prices page or, alternatively, get in touch and we will be more than happy to give you some guidance so that you can plan your decking project effectively.
