Make the garden easier to use from the house

A useful deck starts with how you spend time outside

For many Clontarf gardens, the practical question is simple: where should the seating go, how should you step onto the deck, and which material suits the upkeep you want?

🪑

No proper place for a table and chairs

A defined deck can create a level area for everyday seating or outdoor dining without taking over the whole garden.

🚪

An awkward step from the back door

Decking can help organise the transition from the house into the garden where levels, steps or thresholds need careful planning.

🌦️

A finish that needs realistic upkeep

Timber gives a natural look but needs ongoing care. Composite or PVC can reduce treatment work while still needing routine cleaning.

Plan the use before choosing the boards

How a Clontarf decking job moves from idea to quote

We keep the early decisions practical: how big the deck should be, how people will move through it and what preparation the garden needs.

1

Show us how the garden is used

We look at the house connection, seating position, access and any awkward levels that could affect the layout.

2

Compare timber, composite and PVC

We talk through appearance, upkeep and guide pricing so the material choice suits the job rather than a sales pitch.

3

Agree the layout and written scope

Preparation, boards, steps, rails, removal and other agreed items are set out clearly before work starts.

The layout matters as much as the material

A deck should earn the space it takes up

We plan around the way you actually want to use the garden, then match the build and material to that purpose.

01

Start with furniture and movement

The deck size and board direction should make sense around doors, steps, tables and the route through the garden.

02

Keep levels comfortable

Raised sections, steps and edges are considered early so the deck feels connected to the rest of the space.

03

Choose upkeep you can live with

Timber, composite and PVC have different maintenance needs. We explain those differences before you decide.

04

Quote the extras clearly

Removal, preparation, rails, steps and other agreed features are written into the scope rather than appearing later.

Before you choose the deck

Clontarf decking questions about use, materials and cost

Short answers on guide pricing, materials, cleaning, levels and planning before you arrange a visit.

How much does decking cost in Clontarf? +

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 size, ground condition, subframe, access, steps, rails, removal and preparation.

Is timber or composite better for a seating area? +

Timber gives a natural finish and can be stained or oiled, but it needs more ongoing care. Composite usually needs less treatment and gives a consistent finish. Both still need cleaning, and the best choice depends on your budget and the look you want.

Can decking help with a small change in garden level? +

It can, depending on the site. Decking is often useful where the house and garden do not meet neatly, but the finished height, steps, support and surrounding ground all need to be considered before a layout is recommended.

Does composite decking still need cleaning? +

Yes. Composite normally needs less ongoing treatment than timber, but dirt, leaves and organic build-up should still be cleaned away. Good drainage and regular cleaning also help the surface stay in better condition.

Will decking need planning permission in Clontarf? +

It depends on the property, finished height, location and wider works. We can discuss the issue at the visit, but if there is any uncertainty you should confirm current requirements with Dublin City Council or the relevant planning authority.
