Decking in Livingston
Homes in Livingston
Livingston was built as a new town, and most of its housing dates from the nineteen-sixties onwards. Whatever the age of your house, the deck may be just part of a bigger tidy-up, such as a fence that needs repairing or a lawn you would like to replace with artificial grass. We repair fences, replace sections and build timber fencing, and we install artificial grass next to decking. The photo on this page shows finished decking by JV Handyman & Garden Services.
What matters for decking in Livingston
The deck itself follows the same rules wherever it is built. It needs space underneath for air to circulate and a slight fall so water runs off the surface. If you want it raised, look into planning permission early, because a raised deck can need it. When you get in touch, say whether any fencing or grass work should be looked at at the same time, so the whole garden can be discussed together.
- Tell us about any fencing or artificial grass you want alongside the deck.
- Air circulation below the deck is part of the build.
- A slight fall on the surface lets rainwater drain away.
- Raised designs: find out about planning permission at the outset.
Questions about decking in Livingston
Can you sort out our fence as well as the deck?
We repair fences, replace sections and build timber fencing. Let us know if the fence needs fixing or replacing outright, and whether anything about the boundary or the neighbours needs talking through.
Do you fit artificial grass next to decking in Livingston?
Yes. Artificial grass is something we install, and it can go in next to a new deck, a patio or a fence line.
What should I tell you when I ask for a quote?
Say roughly where the deck will go, whether it will be raised, and any fencing or artificial grass you want at the same time. A raised deck can need planning permission, so its height is useful to know early.
