Deckingin Preston & the North West
Composite and timber decking designed and built for Preston gardens — level platforms, multi-level decks and outdoor living areas that feel solid underfoot and suit how you use the space.
Why customers choose Acorn
We design and install decking as a standalone project or as part of a full garden build. Composite boards for low maintenance, or quality timber where you want a traditional look. Subframes are built for the ground conditions (including uneven or sloping plots), with attention to ventilation, fixings, balustrades and steps. Many clients combine decking with patio zones, artificial grass or lighting for year-round use.
- Composite and timber options with honest advice on maintenance and lifespan

Common questions
Composite or timber — which is better?
Composite needs far less ongoing maintenance and resists splintering; timber can cost less upfront and suits a more traditional look. We’ll recommend based on budget, shade, pets and how much upkeep you want.
Can you deck on a slope or uneven ground?
Yes. We regularly build decks on uneven and sloping gardens using properly supported posts and frames so the finished surface is level and stable.

What clients say
Real 5★ Google reviews
“Great work from the guys at Acorn, very happy with the work carried out and the speed of work. Transformed my all grass garden to have a usable outdoor space that I will be able to use this summer. Once the job was complete, they tidied up all mess.”
“We recently had our front garden done and back garden fully transformed by acorn and we couldn’t be happier. From start to finish the team were amazing. No ask/change to design was too big or too small.”
“I have recently had a resin drive laid and also new fences, gate and a tree pruned, have to say the work done was excellent and to a very high standard. Will definitely recommend this company to everyone.”
