Garden decking in Pershore, with neat and well-proportioned designs for the Georgian town's older houses and the gardens of the surrounding Vale villages.
Pershore is a small Georgian town in the Vale of Evesham, with handsome brick frontages along its main streets and mostly modest gardens behind them. Beyond the centre, villages and newer housing spread out across the flat Vale.
A deck here ought to feel like part of an orderly, balanced garden. We build timber decking in Pershore with an eye for proportion: board lines that follow the shape of the house, steps that look intentional, and finishes that sit quietly against the brickwork.
Symmetry matters beside a Georgian house. A deck centred on the back door, with steps either side, will look at ease against a regular facade. In narrower town gardens, a rectangle with clean edges and a simple border works better than curves. We discuss board direction, the effect of lighter and darker stains, and whether a pergola or low wall would add to the garden. Because plots are often modest, we also look at storage, such as a bin store tucked under or beside the deck, so that everyday clutter does not spoil the layout.
Pershore gardens tend to be flat, which keeps things straightforward, but flat ground still needs thought. A deck must shed rain, so we build in a gentle fall. The frame needs proper airflow underneath and a base that drains, since Vale soils hold water. Where the back door sits well above the lawn, a raised deck with a handrail and a good set of steps replaces an awkward drop. We take care over footing positions near older walls and mature trees. Roots and old foundations can be hidden just below the surface, and finding them early avoids surprises.
Deck care is mostly about keeping things clean and dry. Brush the surface, keep gaps clear and stop leaf litter building up. Oil or stain it when the colour fades. Over time, individual boards may crack or lift, and replacing those is straightforward. A more serious sign is movement in the structure, such as a wobbling post or a bounce in the middle of the span. These point to framing problems. Rather than patching around them, we would explain the options, including a full rebuild on a firmer base, and let you decide what suits the property and your plans.
We cover Pershore and the villages and farmland around it, including Evesham, Upton upon Severn and Droitwich Spa. As a market town with Georgian architecture it has a settled feel, and many of the gardens behind the main streets are on the small side, so careful measuring and layout planning really pay off. If your home is in a conservation area, check the rules before agreeing a design. When you contact us, a few details about the garden and what you want from the deck are plenty to arrange a free visit.
We also take on garden decking work in nearby Evesham, Upton upon Severn, Droitwich Spa.

“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”
Large enough for a table and chairs with room to walk around, yet small enough to leave some lawn or planting. We usually mark the outline on the ground so you can judge it before work starts.
Sometimes. We leave room for the trunk to grow, avoid cutting main roots and keep the frame above the root zone where possible. Each tree needs assessing, and we will be straightforward about what is sensible.
Yes, if you want. We can dismantle and clear the old structure, check the ground below and prepare it for the new frame as part of the same job.
