Decking Installer in Cottingham

We turned a dull corner into a little suntrap with a compact deck and built-in planter. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping shaped the curve beautifully and kept the grain running the same way so it looks calm rather than busy.

It’s become the breakfast spot, birdsong and all, and it wipes clean after showers. Small change, big lift to the whole garden.

We needed wheelchair friendly access without turning the garden into a ramp. Dan stepped the levels gently, used a shallow gradient, and kept the guardrail slender so the view stays open.

It’s comfortable to use and looks elegant rather than medical. My mum said it feels like the garden belongs to her again.

Dan rebuilt our steps with wider treads. Carrying plates is easier and they feel steady even in rain.

Simple, effective, tidy.

Dan arrived with samples, talked through timber versus composite, then built exactly what we chose. The finish is smooth and the joists feel rock steady underfoot.

He even left spare boards for repairs.

We asked for a boardwalk to link the back door with a studio at the end of the garden. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping curved it very slightly and that one decision changed the whole feel.

It invites you to wander rather than march. The surface grips well in frost and the low lights mark the route without lighting the neighbours’ bedrooms. Thoughtful from start to finish.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping had to work around tree roots we didn’t want to disturb. They floated the deck on adjustable supports, left breathing room and shaped the boards neatly around the trunk.

It looks like the tree and platform always knew each other. The kids now sit there after school with snacks while I read. Peaceful and practical in equal measure.

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 spent time measuring sunlight and suggested a shade-friendly board so we wouldn’t be forever scrubbing algae. He installed a slim handrail and a neat picture frame border.

Thoughtful work from someone who clearly enjoys getting the details right. We’re genuinely pleased.

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.

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.

We host a lot, which meant squeezing seats from a small footprint. Backhouse Construction & Landscaping drew a sketch showing a chevron layout to stretch the view.

It works. The eye runs outward, the table sits square and it feels calmer than before. They left everything swept, even rinsed the path by the gate. It’s those finishing touches that stick in your mind long after the tools are packed.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping supplied composite to keep maintenance down. They hid the cuts neatly and shaped the edge round the pond.

Subtle, calm, precise work that makes the garden feel finished and inviting.

We’d inherited a deck that wobbled and trapped puddles. Dan took it apart, salvaged what he could, and rebuilt with proper falls and decent fixings.

He added a slender handrail that’s reassuring without feeling like a barricade. The barbecue stands level for the first time. It’s not flashy work, it’s correct work, and that’s what lasts.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping created a reading nook with a narrow daybed-style bench. Afternoon sun hits it perfectly and the cat has claimed the cushion.

The deck boards have a soft texture that’s kind to bare feet and doesn’t shout plasticky. It’s quiet design, just right for the space, and it’s made the garden feel gentler.

Backhouse Construction & Landscaping rebuilt a rotting deck we inherited with the house. They removed everything, reused what could be saved and laid composite that suits our wetter side of town.

The fascia sits dead straight and the screw heads vanish. Neighbours wandered over to ask who had done it. It’s robust without looking heavy. Cups don’t wobble, chairs glide and the dog sleeps on the warm boards like he paid for it.
