Garden Decking Design and Installation Across Dorset and The New Forest
What makes a garden project worth investing in?
A well-built garden feature does more than fill space, it becomes the part of your garden you actually use: mornings with coffee, evenings with friends, somewhere that works all year round. Getting there depends on what happens beneath the surface, proper preparation, groundworks and drainage that copes with a British winter, not just the finish on top.
That’s the part of the job you don’t see once it’s finished, and it’s where most of our time goes. Whatever the project, we design and build across Dorset and The New Forest to a standard that’s level, well-drained, and backed by a five-year workmanship guarantee.

Experts in Decking Design & Installation
Bamboo Landscapes designs and installs garden decking for homeowners across Dorset and The New Forest. We are a family-run business based in Poole, providing decking installation across the region since 2010. Every project begins with a proper design consultation to establish the right layout, materials and drainage solution for the space.
Full sub-frame construction and groundworks are included as standard on every garden decking installation, because the strength and lifespan of any deck comes down to what’s underneath it. All installations come with a five-year workmanship guarantee, and materials including timber and composite decking options are supplied as part of the project so quality stays consistent from start to finish.
- Full design consultation and sub-frame construction included as standard

DECKING FAQ’S
Decking cost depends on the size of the deck, ground conditions, and the choice between timber and composite decking. A free, no-obligation quotation is provided for every project, so there’s a clear cost before any work begins.
Most garden decking installations take a few days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the design. Larger or multi-level decks with features such as steps, balustrades or lighting take longer, since the sub-frame needs to be completed properly before boards go down.
Neither is universally better; the right choice depends on maintenance and appearance. Timber decking gives a natural, traditional look but needs periodic oiling or staining, while composite decking installation needs very little upkeep and resists splintering, for a higher initial cost.
Well-maintained composite or hardwood decking can last 20 to 30 years, while softwood timber decking typically lasts 10 to 15 years with regular treatment. The sub-frame beneath the boards matters just as much as the material itself.
Decking installation starts with a decking design consultation to plan layout, levels and materials, followed by ground preparation and sub-frame construction, then the boards are laid. Every completed installation carries a five-year workmanship guarantee.
In most cases, decking under 30cm in height and covering less than 50% of the garden doesn’t need planning permission. Raised decking may require consent, and this is checked during the design consultation.
Yes. A raised sub-frame can level out changes in height that would otherwise make a garden awkward to use, and multi-level decking with steps between sections is a common solution for sloped gardens.
Bamboo Landscapes works as a dedicated decking company, offering experienced decking specialists, decking installers, decking builders and decking contractors who manage every stage of a project in-house rather than handing parts of the job to third parties. Every installation is backed by a five-year workmanship guarantee.
