Composite decking, neat fencing and cladding sized for Winchcombe's small cottage gardens, where every square metre counts and older stone buildings need respecting.
Winchcombe is a small Cotswold town, and much of its housing is old stone cottage stock with compact gardens that often feel enclosed. A modest deck or a tidy boundary can make a big difference in a space like that, but there is little room for awkward design or wasted effort.
SPR Trees and Landscapes covers Winchcombe and nearby villages, installing composite decking, steps, fencing and cladding to suit tight plots. We measure carefully, plan the work around access, and explain every option plainly. Advice and quotations are free, so you can compare choices without pressure.
With a small plot, layout is everything. A single well-proportioned deck beside the back door often works better than several small areas. Boards laid diagonally can make a tight garden feel wider, while a few composite steps allow for a change of level without eating into the lawn. Built-in storage or a planter edge can be built into the frame. We keep fixings concealed where possible so the surface looks clean, and we make sure the structure has proper ventilation underneath, which matters in older, damp-prone cottage gardens.
In a compact garden a fence is seen up close, so quality of finish counts. Composite panels give a consistent look without annual treatment, and slatted designs let a little light through. Cladding can improve a plain outbuilding or hide an ageing wall, while composite wall cladding adds a protective face where damp stains have built up. Where a boundary is old stone, we would normally leave it alone and add fencing only where it is genuinely needed. Always check ownership of a boundary before altering it.
The appeal of composite in a small garden is that you spend your time using the space rather than treating it. A weekly sweep, an occasional soapy wash and prompt attention to spills is usually enough. Shaded gardens may develop a green film, which comes off with a stiff brush and warm water. Be wary of aggressive chemicals and close-range jet washing, as both can damage the surface. If a board does get scratched or stained, it can often be replaced individually without taking up the whole deck.
Winchcombe is a small Cotswold town in stone, and many of the lanes around it are tight, so we discuss access, parking and waste removal before starting. We also work in Cheltenham, Bishop's Cleeve and Broadway, which means we can often combine visits for a quote. If you are unsure whether composite is right for your cottage garden, ask us to take a look. We will give an honest view, even if the answer is that a simpler solution would suit you better.

“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”
Usually, yes. Even a compact platform can give a level seating area, and good design avoids dominating the space. We measure the plot and sketch options so you can see what fits before agreeing to anything.
Any outdoor surface can be slippery when wet or covered in algae. Grooved or textured boards give better grip, and regular cleaning helps. For steps and shaded areas we generally recommend a textured finish.
Yes. We remove the old deck, check the ground and base, and build a new frame before laying composite boards. Often the old structure is not reusable, so we explain what we find.
