Composite decking, fencing and cladding for Stow-on-the-Wold, designed for a high Cotswold town where stone houses, cold winds and quick-changing weather decide what lasts in a garden.
Stow-on-the-Wold sits high in the Cotswolds, and its stone buildings take the wind and rain head on. Gardens here feel that exposure too, with timber that weathers fast and boundaries that need to be stout to stay upright.
SPR Trees and Landscapes covers Stow-on-the-Wold and its villages. Composite is a practical answer to exposed sites, but only if it is built properly. We come out, assess shelter, ground and access, and give you a free quote for decking, fencing or cladding, with clear advice on what suits the garden.
In an open garden, the deck needs more than good-looking boards. We build a robust frame, fix it firmly and pay attention to drainage so frost and rain do not lift or distort anything. Composite resists freezing and thawing better than many softwoods, and decking steps keep the route to the lawn safe on cold mornings. A low-profile deck beside the house can also give a sheltered spot out of the breeze.
Wind is the big test for a fence. Composite fencing with deep, well-set posts and sensible panel heights stands up to it, and a solid boundary can give valuable shelter to a lawn or a seating area. For cladding, garden rooms and outbuildings in an exposed spot benefit from a covering that will not need repainting every couple of years. Colours that echo stone and slate tend to blend with the landscape.
Cold, wet and windy conditions mean surfaces get dirty and green faster than you might expect. A broom, warm water and mild soap are all you need. Check drainage channels and gaps after autumn leaves, as blocked gaps hold moisture. Take care with salt and grit in icy weather, and shovel snow gently with a plastic tool. Treat the deck kindly and it will keep a steady appearance.
We cover Stow-on-the-Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh and Northleach. Lanes can be narrow and winter weather can interrupt outdoor work, so we choose dry periods where we can and keep the schedule flexible. Properties in older stone terraces and cottages often have restricted frontages, which we take into account for deliveries. Get in touch to book a visit.
We also take on composite decking installers work in nearby Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh, Northleach.

“Jim and Dan did a brilliant job on my 90ft conifer. Its a lot safer now and I have more light in the garden...”
“The boys did an excellent job... pruned my trees back and remove one tree that had split...”
“The guys were prompt & proffesional removed an old ash for me thanks guys”
Composite generally tolerates frost well, since it does not soak up water like some timber. The frame and drainage still matter, as ice on the surface can be slippery, so care is needed.
Yes, but a solid fence in an exposed spot puts heavy load on posts. We may suggest slightly open panels or taller posts set deeper. We explain the options on site.
Normally straight away, as there is no paint or sealant to dry. We hand it over once all fixings are checked and the area is cleared.
