Decking Installer in Barton-upon-Humber

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping transformed a scrappy patch outside our terraced house. They set posts carefully to avoid the old drain run and still kept the lines straight.

The balustrade has a top rail wide enough for a glass, which is my favourite detail. It’s neighbour friendly, tidy and surprisingly quiet underfoot. We’ve already eaten outside more this month than in the last two summers.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping suggested setting the deck slightly off the fence to keep airflow. That gap has kept everything fresh through a wet summer.

The boards meet cleanly at the corner like they were planned from the start, not forced on the day. Neighbours noticed the difference straight away and asked for the details.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced algae-prone timber with composite that suits our shady spot. They cut a neat access hatch for the stop tap and you barely see the join.

The handrail sits perfectly under the palm of your hand. It’s become the place we eat, read, work, everything. Couldn’t be happier.

Dan arrived with samples, checked the ground and talked through slip ratings without making it feel technical. He set the joists properly, left tidy expansion gaps and finished the nosing so it’s comfortable in bare feet.

The difference from our old wobbly platform is huge. We actually sit out on weeknights now because it feels easy.

We wanted a perch for coffee and a pram-friendly threshold. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping built a small landing with a wide tread down to the lawn.

The boards feel warm underfoot even on cooler mornings and the dog likes to sunbathe there. It’s simple, neat and has changed how we come and go.

They took our rough sketch and turned it into something far better. Clean lines, good drainage and sturdy steps.

The dining set sits perfectly now for Sunday breakfasts and we’re thrilled with how it sits against the house.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping replaced a sagging deck with composite. Hidden fixings, tidy edges and a solid subframe.

Night and day compared to what we had.

Dan rebuilt our old timber deck from the joists up. He corrected a slight lean, fixed new posts in concrete and finished with a clean border that frames the space.

The whole platform feels rock steady, looks smart against the lawn and has already hosted two family barbecues. It feels like a proper outdoor room now.

Dan rebuilt a tired deck that flexed like a trampoline. He swapped the joists for treated timber, tightened the centres and braced the corners.

Now it feels solid enough to dance on. He oiled the cut ends and talked me through seasonal upkeep. I like a tradesman who explains the why as well as the what.

Dan suggested a small privacy screen that matches the deck. It hides the bins without turning the garden into a maze.

Looks intentional, not an afterthought, and I appreciate that. Neighbours have already asked who designed it, which says plenty.

They tucked a small step light by the door. Handy in winter, soft in summer.

It’s a thoughtful touch that changes evenings outside.

The installer planned storage under the deck for toys and cushions, then added a hinged panel for access that sits flush when closed. The top surface feels firm, the gaps are consistent and nothing rattles in wind.

It’s quietly excellent work that makes daily tidying much easier. Little touches like that matter to us.

Dan placed lighting on the risers rather than the posts. You see the steps, not the fittings.

It’s subtle and much kinder on the eyes at night.

Dan added a slim ramp that blends into the step. Pram goes in and out with zero faff.

It looks neat and works quietly in the background.

Dan built a raised viewing deck for the pond. He softened the edge with a narrow fascia and aligned the boards with the water.

Subtle choices that make it feel calm every time we step out. It’s become our morning coffee spot.
