Decking in Blanchardstown for Awkward Garden Levels
A step down from the back door or a sloping lawn can leave part of the garden hard to use. Reflect plans decking in Blanchardstown around the actual levels, access and ground conditions, with timber, composite and PVC options discussed on site.
Where does the garden level become awkward?
Send photos or arrange a visit. We’ll check the back-door height, slope, access and the area you want to use.

Decking that works with changes in garden level
Blanchardstown and wider Dublin 15 include established and newer residential areas, so garden layouts vary. We measure the actual space before suggesting a deck height or layout.
Too much of a drop from the back door
A deck can create a more comfortable transition where the garden sits noticeably lower than the house.
Sloping ground that wastes usable space
Raised or stepped decking can turn an awkward slope into a level area for everyday use.
Steps added as an afterthought
Steps and handrails work better when planned with the deck height from the beginning.
How we plan raised or level-change decking
We start with height, access and how you want to move between the house and garden. Then we discuss materials.
Check doors, ground and access
We measure the area, check the change in level and look at garden access.
Set the deck height and route through the garden
We agree where the deck, steps and handrails should sit for practical everyday use.
Choose the finish and price the full scope
Timber, composite or PVC, preparation and extras are set out in writing before work starts.

Steps and handrails included from the start
If steps or guarding are needed, they are planned with the deck rather than added later.

Blanchardstown decking questions about levels, steps and cost
Short answers on raised decking, materials, cost, ground preparation and planning before you arrange a visit.
How much does decking cost in Blanchardstown? +
Reflect’s guide prices start around €100/m² for timber, €110/m² for PVC and €120/m² for composite. A small deck around 15m² starts from approximately €1,800+. Final cost depends on levels, access, subframe, steps and preparation.
Can decking be used to deal with a sloping garden? +
Often, yes. Raised or stepped decking can create a useful level area, but the layout depends on the slope, finished height, access and ground condition. We measure before recommending a design.
Can steps and handrails be included? +
Yes. Steps, handrails and suitable balustrades can be included. Planning them with the deck gives a cleaner route between the house, deck and garden.
Is composite better than timber for a raised deck? +
Not automatically. Composite usually needs less staining or oiling; timber gives a natural appearance. Both need cleaning and correct installation. We compare them around your budget and upkeep preference.
Does raised decking need planning permission? +
It depends on the property, finished height, location and wider works. We can discuss it at the visit, but where uncertain you should confirm current requirements with Fingal County Council or the relevant planning authority.
