Decking Installers Across Buckinghamshire
FirstScapes is a family-run landscaping company. We design and build decking across Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns.
A deck is only as good as the frame underneath it. Joists need to sit clear of wet ground, with air moving below and water draining away. On the Chiltern hilltops the ground is often clay-with-flints, which holds water, and many gardens on the valley sides slope, so we build the frame for the plot rather than the brochure.
Our decking installation services cover composite, timber and hardwood decks, with the steps and lighting that go with them.
Covering ten towns across south Buckinghamshire and the Chilterns, and the villages between them.

Choosing the Right Decking
Our decking installation services cover three materials, each with its own look and upkeep. We will help you pick the one that suits your garden.
-
Composite decking
Modern decking boards made from wood fibre and recycled plastic. They do not rot, splinter or need staining, and a wash keeps them clean. Composite can last 20 to 25 years, far longer than timber.
-
Timber decking
Pressure-treated softwood is the traditional wood decking, with a natural look and feel, and it can be cut to almost any shape. It needs cleaning and re-treating every year or two to keep rot and greying at bay.
-
Hardwood decking
Dense hardwoods are naturally durable and very hard-wearing. Left alone they weather to a soft silver grey, or an annual oil keeps their colour. Look for timber from certified, well-managed forests.

Decking Questions from Buckinghamshire
Which towns do you cover for decking?
We build decking in High Wycombe, Beaconsfield, Amersham, Marlow, Chesham, Hazlemere, Great Missenden, Gerrards Cross, Chalfont St Peter and Chalfont St Giles, and the villages in between. Pick your town below for local advice.
How long does it take to build a new deck in Buckinghamshire?
It depends on the size, the boards you choose and how level the ground is. Once we have measured up, your quote includes a timescale, so you know how long we will be on site before we start.
What types of decking does FirstScapes build in Buckinghamshire?
We build composite, timber and hardwood decks in Buckinghamshire, with the steps, lighting and hidden fixings that go with them. You can compare them in the section above.
Is composite or timber decking better?
Composite lasts longer, typically 20 to 25 years, and never needs staining or treating. Timber has a natural look and feel but needs cleaning and re-treating every year or two, or it can rot. We will talk you through both when we visit.
Can FirstScapes replace or extend an old deck in Buckinghamshire?
Yes. We take up rotten boards and a failing frame and build a new one on a sound frame, or extend what you have to give you more space. Anything more than 30cm off the ground usually need planning permission, so we check that first.
How much does it cost to build a deck in Buckinghamshire?
It depends on the size, the boards you choose and the ground underneath. We need to measure it up and look at the site before we can give you a price, so we offer a free, no-obligation quote. Call 01494 812249 or use the form at the top of the page.
