Tailored to Tenterden Homes
Ashford's extensive new-build housing around Kennington, Kingsnorth, and Park Farm uses modern timber frame construction — we're experienced with these build methods
Access & logistics: Ashford's location at the junction of the M20 makes it one of the easiest areas for us to reach. Rural properties around the Weald may have narrow access lanes — we always check during the survey.
Seasonal tip: The Low Weald around Ashford has heavy clay soil that expands and contracts with the seasons. This affects ground stability — we use adjustable bases for garden rooms to accommodate seasonal movement.
Common Considerations for Ashford Properties
- New-build properties with snagging issues requiring remedial carpentry
- Weather-boarded cottages in Tenterden requiring specialist cladding knowledge
- Heavy clay soil in the Low Weald affecting foundations for garden rooms and decking
Properties near the Stour Centre area and across Tenterden share certain characteristics we've learned to anticipate. That local insight means fewer surprises during your garden decking project — and a smoother experience for you.

Step-by-Step: Our Decking Service
From the first measure in Tenterden to handover, your garden decking project moves through these stages:
- 1
Garden Survey
We visit your garden, assess the ground conditions, and discuss your requirements — size, shape, levels, and material preference. You get a straight update at the end of this stage.
- 2
Decking Design
We create a design including dimensions, board direction, step positions, and any additional features like lighting or balustrades. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 3
Ground Preparation
The area is cleared, levelled, and prepared with a weed membrane. Concrete pads or adjustable pedestals are positioned for the framework. We photograph this stage so you can see the work even if you are out.
- 4
Framework Construction
A strong, level joist framework is constructed from treated timber, with proper spacing and ventilation for long-term durability. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Tenterden job.
- 5
Board Laying
Decking boards are laid with consistent spacing, secured with screws or hidden clips, and trimmed neatly at all edges. Nothing at this stage is left to assumption on a Tenterden job.
- 6
Finishing & Extras
Steps, fascia boards, balustrades, and lighting are installed. The deck is cleaned and any staining or oiling is applied. We confirm this stage with you before moving on, every time in Tenterden.

FAQs From Real Customers
Do you offer decking with built-in seating in Tenterden?
Yes — we can build integrated bench seating, planter boxes, and storage compartments into your decking design for a clean, cohesive outdoor living area.
Can you build decking around a tree in Tenterden?
Yes — we can construct decking around existing trees with expansion gaps to allow for trunk growth. This creates a beautiful feature while preserving your garden's mature planting.
How do I decide on the best position for decking in Tenterden?
Consider sun exposure, proximity to the house, views, and privacy. We visit your garden and recommend the optimal position, size, and orientation during our free design consultation.
What does a garden decking quote for Tenterden include?
Labour, materials, fixings, waste removal and VAT where it applies, all itemised. We price Tenterden jobs after seeing the property, so the figure accounts for access, parking around TN30 and the condition of what is already there.
Will garden decking suit an older property in Tenterden?
A lot of Tenterden housing is weather-boarded high-street property and Wealden hall house, where walls are rarely square and floors rarely level. We scribe and pack rather than force a fit, which is why garden decking in older TN30 homes needs measuring on site rather than ordering off a plan.
Which streets and villages near Tenterden do you cover?
As well as Tenterden itself, we regularly work in St Michaels, Rolvenden. It is all inside the Ashford Borough Council area, so there is no travel charge on top of your garden decking quote.
