“How Long Does Wooden Decking Last?” is one of the questions we're asked most about timber and garden decking here in Worcestershire. This guide covers what actually affects the answer, from an SPR Trees & Landscapes team that's been doing this work for over 15 years.
Typical Lifespan
With garden decking, lifespan depends heavily on installation quality and how well it's maintained afterwards. A properly prepared, professionally installed job will comfortably outlast one where corners were cut on preparation — the difference often isn't visible until a few years in.
What Extends It
- Correct preparation and groundwork before installation
- Using quality materials suited to Worcestershire's weather
- Routine maintenance rather than letting small issues build up
- Addressing problems early rather than leaving them
