Landscaping Services and Garden Fencing in Haywards Heath Tips on How to Make Your Decking Look Like New All Year Round

Part of our professional landscaping services, decking can improve the look of any rear garden and provide our South East clients with the opportunity to spend more time outdoors, relaxing and socialising. Stephen Bessant Garden Force supplies and installs composite and natural timber decking for our clients in Haywards Heath and the surrounding areas, offering a range of colours to complement your home’s exterior, kitchen flooring or whatever area provides access to the garden.

Based in Nutley, we also lay garden patios and paving, install garden fencing, and carry out a range of garden maintenance and grounds maintenance services.

Composite and Timber Decking

Both styles are highly effective in transforming the look of any home, with composite decking being the more popular choice due to its longevity. It is comprised of wooden fibres wrapped in plastic and mimics the look of natural timber easily.

Wooden decking, on the other hand, is known to warm to uncomfortable levels in hot weather and can warp as a result. Requiring additional maintenance throughout the year, it’s still a favourite with clients who prefer a natural feel underfoot.

Regardless of which variation you choose, it’s important to keep the surfaces in good condition. Decking is notorious for becoming slippy in wet weather, and can be extremely dangerous if you don’t remove the moss which will inevitably grow on it over the colder months.

The following items can help maintain the surface throughout the year without spending too much time or effort:

  • Car Sponge

  • Deck Cleaner*

  • Garden Hose or Pressure Washer

  • Large Bucket

  • Washing-Up Liquid

  • Wire Brush

*Select a deck cleaner that is suitable for the type of decking you have at your Haywards Heath home.

Our landscaping services team is happy to answer any questions to help you keep your garden decking in top condition. We can also advise on garden fencing, pond installations, garden patios, natural stone patios, tree surgery, trellis panels and garden maintenance and grounds maintenance.

Composite decking is quite easy to maintain. The water jet from the pressure washer will easily clear any debris from the expansion gaps without damaging the surface, and the process for cleaning is the exact same as mopping a floor.

Timber decking requires more work but can look stunning if you have the time to dedicate to it. Clear away any cobwebs and dirt, then wash thoroughly, using the deck cleaner for stubborn marks. Our team at Stephen Bessant Garden Force recommends washing in line with the timber’s natural grain and advises against using a pressure washer.

Deck cleaners can strip the timber, so bear in mind you may need to re-stain or oil the wood again once you’ve finished.
