Decking in Sandyford, Planned With the Whole Garden
A deck works better when it connects properly with the house, paving and the rest of the garden. Reflect installs and repairs decking in Sandyford in timber, composite and PVC, with the layout planned around doors, levels, seating and the outdoor space already there.
How should the deck fit with the rest of the garden?
Tell us what is there now, where the doors and paths sit, and whether the deck needs to work with paving, steps, planting, seating or a pergola.

No obligation. A few photos showing the house, garden levels and surrounding paving are useful before the visit.
Plan decking around paving, doors and the way you use the garden
Sandyford sits within Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown’s Glencullen–Sandyford area. A useful decking layout should connect with the existing garden rather than forcing every other feature to work around it.
Link the back door to a usable seating area
The deck can create a clear place for a table, chairs or BBQ while keeping the route from the house comfortable.
Make paving and decking meet cleanly
Where paving or paths already work well, the deck can be planned to meet them neatly instead of replacing useful parts of the garden.
Leave space for the rest of the garden to work
The deck does not need to cover everything. Planting, lawn, storage and access can remain part of the finished layout.
From garden layout to a clear Sandyford decking quote
We measure the area, look at doors, levels and surrounding surfaces, compare materials and then price the agreed decking scope.
Show us what is staying in the garden
We look at paving, planting, paths, doors and any features that need to remain part of the finished garden.
Compare materials beside the existing garden finish
We compare timber, composite and PVC around appearance, upkeep, cleaning and how each option will sit beside the existing surfaces.
Put the whole agreed layout into the written quote
Preparation, removal, steps, rails, balustrades and other agreed features are written into the quote before work begins.
Other exterior work we can quote in Sandyford
Reflect can also quote paving cleaning, power washing, pergolas, gutters and other exterior maintenance when the decking forms part of a wider garden plan.

Reflect takes decking enquiries across Sandyford and nearby Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown areas. The gallery shows real Reflect decking work but is not presented as Sandyford work unless the location has been confirmed.
The best result starts with the whole layout, not just the boards
We look at how the deck meets doors, paving, steps and garden features so the finished area feels deliberate rather than added on.
Plan around doors and movement first
The route in and out of the house matters, especially where the deck sits directly outside a back door or beside existing paving.
Choose a finish that suits the garden and upkeep
Timber gives a natural appearance but needs more treatment; composite and PVC usually reduce that upkeep while still needing cleaning.
Keep useful paving, paths and planting where they work
Existing features do not have to be removed simply because a deck is being added. We plan around the parts worth keeping.
Keep the complete garden scope clear in writing
The decking footprint, preparation, steps, rails, balustrades and other agreed features are listed in the written quote.

Sandyford decking questions about layouts, materials and cost
Short answers on pricing, garden layouts, materials, repairs and planning before you arrange a visit.
How much does decking cost in Sandyford? +
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, access, preparation, removal, steps and rails.
Can decking be combined with an existing patio? +
Often, yes. The useful parts of an existing patio can stay while decking is added beside or above another section, depending on levels, drainage, condition and the finished layout.
Timber or composite for a Sandyford garden? +
Timber gives a natural finish and can be stained or oiled, while composite generally needs less ongoing treatment and gives a consistent finish. Both still need cleaning.
Can an existing deck be changed as part of a garden redesign? +
Sometimes. We first check the boards, subframe, steps and how the existing deck fits the new layout, then discuss repair, extension, refurbishment or replacement.
Will decking in Sandyford need planning permission? +
It depends on the property, finished height, location and wider works. If there is any uncertainty, check current requirements with Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown County Council or the relevant planning authority.
