No obligation. A few garden photos help us see the available space, access, levels and any old decking or paving already there.
Make room for the way you actually use the garden
Rathfarnham is an established south Dublin area with mature residential neighbourhoods. We plan around the garden in front of us, not a standard layout.
No settled spot for outdoor furniture
A well-sized deck can create a proper seating area without taking over the garden.
The back door opens onto an awkward surface
Old paving, grass or a small level change can make the space outside the back door awkward to use.
The old deck is taking more work than it gives back
Loose boards or tired timber can be checked for repair, restoration or replacement before a full rebuild is considered.
From garden idea to a clear Rathfarnham quote
We check the space first, then agree the material, layout and scope before work starts.
Show us where you want the deck
We measure the area, check access and levels, and see where furniture or steps need to sit.
Choose the material and finish
Timber, composite and PVC are compared around appearance, upkeep and budget.
Agree the build before work starts
Preparation, removal, rails, steps and other agreed details are included in the written quote.

A useful deck starts with enough room in the right place
The layout should work for furniture, movement and the route from the house before you choose the board finish.
Leave room for the furniture
We size the deck around the table, chairs or seating you expect to use.
Make the route from the house feel natural
Doorways, steps and walking lines are considered so the deck fits the route through the garden.
Pick upkeep you are comfortable with
Timber needs more ongoing care; composite and PVC can reduce some treatment but still need cleaning.
Put the full scope in writing
Preparation, removal, rails, steps and other agreed features are listed before work starts.

Rathfarnham decking questions about space, materials and price
Quick answers on price, layout, replacement, composite upkeep and planning.
How much does decking cost in Rathfarnham? +
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, preparation, access and extras.
How much room should I leave for a table and chairs? +
There is no single size that suits every garden. We can measure around the furniture you plan to use and leave enough room to move comfortably.
Can an old deck be replaced without changing the whole layout? +
Often, yes. We first check the boards, subframe, levels and surrounding ground. If the layout still works, replacement can follow the same general footprint.
Is composite a good choice if I want less upkeep? +
Composite usually needs less staining or oiling than timber, but it still needs cleaning. We can compare it with timber and PVC around your budget and preferred finish.
Does decking need planning permission in Rathfarnham? +
It depends on the property, finished height, location and wider works. If unsure, check current requirements with South Dublin County Council or the relevant planning authority.
