Decking and Pergolas for homes in Gorleston-on-Sea
Landscaping Norfolk provides decking and pergolas in Gorleston-on-Sea and across the wider Great Yarmouth area. With 25 years of experience in hard landscaping and groundworks, we build to last: proper preparation, the right materials for the site and a clean finish. Every job starts with a site visit and a clear written quote, and we are based in Norfolk so Gorleston-on-Sea is well within our normal working area.
Gorleston sits south of the river from Great Yarmouth with its own beach, promenade and a large residential area of Victorian and inter-war housing. Patios, driveways and fence replacements are our bread and butter here.
Decking is a quick way to create a level, usable area on sloping or awkward ground, and a pergola turns a plain patio into somewhere you actually want to sit. We build both, in softwood, hardwood and composite, on sub-frames that are sized and supported properly.
Local knowledge
Decking & Pergolas and the ground around Gorleston-on-Sea
Sandy ground around Gorleston-on-Sea drains freely, which is ideal under decking, but pads and posts need to sit on firm ground. We dig to a solid layer and set concrete pads so the sub-frame cannot settle.
Being on the coast, Gorleston-on-Sea gets salt air and strong onshore winds. We use treated timber and galvanised or stainless fixings on fencing, build walls and posts to cope with exposure, and choose paving that stays safe underfoot in sea mist.
What is included
- Softwood, hardwood and composite decking
- Raised and split-level decks with steps and balustrades
- Ground-level decking and boardwalks
- Pergolas, arbours and gazebos in treated or oak timber

Decking & Pergolas in Gorleston-on-Sea: common questions

Is composite decking worth the extra cost?
For most people, yes. It does not need staining, does not splinter and does not go slippery in the same way as timber. It costs more up front but saves maintenance every year.
Do I need planning permission for decking?
Not if the deck is under 300mm high and, together with other structures, covers less than half the garden. Higher decks or those near boundaries may need permission, and we will tell you if that applies.
How long does decking last?
A well-built softwood deck lasts around 15 years with maintenance. Hardwood and composite last 25 years or more. The sub-frame matters as much as the boards, which is why we build it properly.
