Garden decking installers can take care of your decking installation end-to-end from drawing up plans to adding the final varnish. They can build sturdy, durable decks of all shapes and sizes along with extras such as fencing and steps. The decking installers we work with can also clarify what needs to be done with the garden before work takes place (i.e. landscaping to make the site level), and whether they’ll be able to do this themselves or if another tradesman will be needed. If you have an existing decking that is in need of maintenance work, they can perform tasks such as deck staining or sealing, as well as power washing and sanding. Some repair jobs are as straightforward as filling in cracks and crevices to keep it weatherproof, whereas others may require replacing the ledger (which attaches the decking to your home) or taking out damaged railings. You can pick up deck materials yourself at your local decking company or have them delivered to your home. Your Tasker will come equipped with all other tools to get the job done!

Labour costs will vary depending on the scope of the project. Factors such as the shape of the decking or building around obstacles such as trees can drive up the price. A standard painting or varnishing job will start from around €200 for a standard size decking. Labour costs for the construction of a new decking are generally in the region of €1,000-€2,000. Repair jobs such as replacing a railing will generally set you back €500-€700. For the most accurate quote it's best to post the details of your job and speak to a Tasker.
Get quotes for garden decking services in your areaGenerally, your Tasker won’t provide the decking so this is something you’ll need to source yourself. Most builders merchants stock decking and there are also many online decking companies in Ireland that make it easy to order the materials directly to your door. If you’re unsure what kind of decking to go for, you can speak to the decking installer about this beforehand. Composite is usually the most expensive as it requires little to no maintenance, and often costs over €120 per square metre. Hardwood decking such as oak wood is similarly priced. Softwood decking is usually lower in cost, but bear in mind that it will require more maintenance.
This will depend on the type of decking you choose. Composite decking comes with a higher initial cost but is incredibly durable and will last for over 20 years with minimal maintenance. Timber decking can last for a similar period of time, but will require ongoing maintenance over the years such as oiling and refinishing. If you’re not comfortable completing this work yourself, you can speak to your garden decking installer about your options.
If you decide to sell your property in the future, a well made decking is something that will help it stand out to prospective buyers and increase their perception of the living space. The size, material and condition of the decking will contribute to how much actual value it adds, but in certain cases it can be as much as 5-10%.
In general, getting paving slabs or concrete put into your garden is cheaper than installing a decking. While paving also requires less maintenance than timber decking, it can be prone to cracking over time or becoming slippery when wet. Another benefit to decking is its versatility, as it can easily be moulded to fit the unique size and shape of your garden, whereas certain types of paving such as granite can be difficult to install.
