Garden Decking in Artane for Everyday Use
A deck works best when it gives you a simple place to step out, sit down and use the garden more often. Reflect provides decking in Artane in timber, composite and PVC, planned around the back door, furniture, garden levels and the amount of upkeep you want.
What do you want to use the deck for?
Tell us whether you need room for a table, BBQ, seating or a better step from the house into the garden. We’ll measure the space and discuss the practical options.

No obligation. A few photos of the back door, garden and any existing deck help us understand the space before the visit.
Make the garden easier to step out and use
Decking can create a practical area for everyday seating when the ground, levels or existing layout make that harder than it should be.
Nowhere level for a table and chairs
A properly planned deck can create a defined seating area instead of balancing furniture on uneven lawn or awkward paving.
The step from the house feels awkward
Where levels change at the back door, the deck layout can be planned around a more comfortable route into the garden.
An old deck is taking up useful space
Loose boards, worn finishes or a poor layout do not always mean full replacement, but the structure should be checked before deciding what to keep.
How we plan decking around an Artane garden
The visit starts with the house, garden levels and how much room you actually need for seating and movement.
Start at the back door
We measure the area, look at access and levels, and check any existing deck or hard surface that may affect the build.
Set the space you will actually use
We discuss furniture, steps, edges and how people will move between the house, deck and the rest of the garden.
Choose the boards and price the work
Timber, composite or PVC, preparation, removal and agreed extras are set out in the written quotation before work starts.
Other exterior work we can look at in Artane
Reflect can also quote gutters, patios, driveways, pergolas and exterior cleaning when the decking is part of a wider garden or property tidy-up.
Clear the Gutters
Remove loose leaves, moss and debris from accessible gutters so rainwater has a clearer route to the outlets.

Deal with loose brackets, leaking joints and damaged sections where a clean on its own will not solve the problem.

Decking visits across Artane and Dublin 5
Artane is in Dublin 5 within Dublin City Council’s North Central Area and the Artane–Whitehall electoral area. Reflect takes decking enquiries across Artane and nearby north-Dublin areas; gallery images are not presented as local jobs unless confirmed.
A good deck should feel useful on an ordinary day
The layout matters just as much as the board choice, especially around doors, furniture, steps and the route through the garden.
Leave room to move around
The seating area should not block the route from the house or leave awkward gaps around steps and garden access.
Get the level right at the house
Finished height and steps are considered from the start so the deck sits sensibly with the back door and surrounding ground.
Pick a finish that suits the use
Timber gives a natural look; composite and PVC can reduce some ongoing treatment. All still need sensible cleaning and care.
Keep the agreed work clear
Preparation, removal, boards, rails, steps and other agreed items are written into the quote before the job starts.

Artane decking questions about use, cost and materials
Short answers on guide pricing, garden furniture, existing surfaces, material choice and planning.
How much does decking cost in Artane? +
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.
Can you plan decking around a table, chairs and BBQ? +
Yes. It helps to know how you want to use the space before the deck size is agreed. We can discuss furniture, circulation, steps and clearances during the site visit so the finished area is practical rather than simply as large as possible.
Can decking be built over an existing concrete area? +
Sometimes, but the condition, levels, drainage and available height need to be checked first. We would inspect the site before recommending whether the existing surface can form part of the preparation or needs another approach.
Is timber or composite better for an Artane garden? +
Timber gives a natural finish and can be stained or oiled, but it needs more ongoing treatment. Composite usually needs less treatment and gives a consistent finish. Both still need cleaning, so the better choice depends on budget, appearance and upkeep.
Will decking need planning permission in Artane? +
It depends on the property, finished height, location and wider works. If there is any uncertainty, check current requirements with Dublin City Council before proceeding.
