Choosing the Right Decking for Your Garden Project

Summer is the perfect time to transform your outdoor space, and decking remains one of the most popular ways to create a stylish and functional garden area. But with so many materials available, how do you choose the right one?

At Hawthorn Timber, we offer a wide selection of decking options, including treated softwood for a natural and budget-friendly choice, hardwood for added longevity and elegance, and low-maintenance composite decking for modern appeal. Each type has its own benefits, depending on your budget, design goals, and how much upkeep you're comfortable with.

Not sure where to start? Our knowledgeable team can walk you through your options and help you plan your project — from timber selection to accessories like handrails, fixings, and treatments. Pop into one of our branches or check out our decking guide online to get inspired and get started.
