Decking & Pergolas · Thorpe St Andrew

Decking and Pergolas for homes in Thorpe St Andrew

Landscaping Norfolk provides decking and pergolas in Thorpe St Andrew and across the wider Broadland 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 Thorpe St Andrew is well within our normal working area.

Thorpe St Andrew lies along the River Yare on the east side of Norwich, with riverside houses, Victorian villas and a lot of post-war housing up the hill. Sloping gardens and drainage towards the river come up regularly.

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 Thorpe St Andrew

We check the ground around Thorpe St Andrew before setting out deck pads, so the sub-frame sits on firm, level supports. A membrane below and good airflow keep the deck dry and sound.

Homes in Thorpe St Andrew are mostly family houses and bungalows with good-sized gardens, and the most common requests are new patios, wider driveways, fence replacements and turf. We work efficiently in built-up areas and keep access clear for neighbours.

Decking & Pergolas in Thorpe St Andrew: common questions

Do you cover Thorpe St Andrew for decking and pergolas?

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.
