Expert decking design and installation across Wimbledon Village, Parkside, Ridgway & SW19. Approved installers of Millboard & Trex composite, luxury Ipe/Balau hardwood, and pressure-treated softwood decking.
Bespoke Decking Transformations for Wimbledon Gardens
Decking provides a versatile, highly aesthetic solution for Wimbledon properties, particularly those with sloping ground near Wimbledon Common, split-level rear gardens along Ridgway, or trees with shallow root structures. A professionally engineered deck creates a warm, level platform for outdoor dining, entertaining, and relaxation.
At The Tree Amigos Landscaping & Gardening Ltd, founders Billy Maddox and Vincent O'Connell deliver custom timber and composite decking solutions. We offer full material flexibility—installing high-grade composite, rich organic hardwoods, and pressure-treated softwood—all built on robust structural subframes designed for Wimbledon's heavy London clay soil.

Our 3 Decking Options for Wimbledon Properties
We specify and install all three principal decking materials, tailored to your aesthetic preferences and budget:
1. Premium Composite Decking (Millboard & Trex)
Composite decking is the ultimate low-maintenance decking material for SW19 homeowners. As approved installers, we specify:
- Millboard Decking: Hand-moulded in the UK from natural oak timber using polyurethane resin and mineral stone. Featuring a non-porous Lastane® surface, Millboard is highly slip-resistant (even when wet), never rots, and features self-healing Durafix® hidden fixings. Available in Enhanced Grain and Weathered Oak finishes.
- Trex Composite Decking: Constructed from 95% recycled wood fibres and plastic polymers with a durable outer shell (Trex Transcend). Resists fading, scratching, and mould growth backed by a 25-year limited residential warranty.
2. Luxury Hardwood Decking (Ipe, Balau & Thermo-Ash)
Hardwood decking represents the pinnacle of natural elegance for Wimbledon Village townhouses and Parkside estates:
- Ipe (Brazilian Walnut): Exceptionally dense hardwood with a Class A fire rating, rich reddish-brown hues, and a lifespan exceeding 40 years.
- Yellow Balau: Highly durable Malaysian hardwood displaying warm golden-brown tones and natural resistance to fungal decay and insect attack.
- Thermo-Treated Ash: European timber thermally modified with steam and heat to achieve high dimensional stability, dark chocolate tones, and zero chemical treatment.
3. Pressure-Treated Softwood Decking
For classic garden platforms, raised play areas, or cost-effective terrace extensions, pressure-treated softwood provides a timeless, traditional feel:
- Scandinavian Redwood & Southern Yellow Pine: Slow-grown timber pressure treated with Tanalith E to C24 structural specifications.
- Versatile Finishing: Can be stained, oiled, or painted in bespoke tones to complement existing fencing or timber pergolas.
Subframe Structural Engineering for SW19 Clay
A deck is only as durable as its underlying frame. Because Wimbledon sits on heavy London clay subject to seasonal expansion and shrinkage, we engineer every subframe for structural stability:
- Concrete Pad Foundations: Deck posts are supported by deep concrete pads or post spurs anchored below the frost and clay-active zone.
- C24 Structural Joists: Heavy-duty 47x150mm or 47x200mm pressure-treated C24 timber joists or Plaswood recycled plastic joists.
- Joist Tape Protection: Waterproof butyl tape applied to top edges of timber joists to prevent water ingress through screw penetrations.
- Airflow & Drainage: Under-deck clearance with weed prevention geotextile fabric and perimeter airflow gaps.
