What moves the price
Height and ground
A raised deck needs more frame, posts and fascia than one at ground level. Sloping or soft ground, or old concrete to break out, adds time.
The boards
Capped boards with a tougher shell and deeper grain cost more than standard ranges, and last better in shade and under trees.
Shape and details
Curves, diagonal boards, built-in seating, planters, balustrades and lighting all add to the job. Straight, rectangular decks are the best value.
Access
If everything has to come through the house, we plan for it. A side gate or back lane makes the job quicker.
