Do you wish you had an area in your garden where you could sit and relax? Have you seen the multitude of horticulture programmes on the television showing off their beautiful gardens and patio areas.
Here's the problem! Not everyone has a wonderfully flat, weed free and green lawn to be proud of. Most of us have day jobs and can't afford to spend all day in the garden keeping it in the pristine condition we would like it to be.
You can make a distinct improvement to your garden in just a couple of weekends by adding an area of wooden decking. This will create a focal point that you can use as a seating area, display flower and pot arrangements, use as a barbeque area, the list goes on...

Ill be honest, the reason I built a decked seating area was so I could get rid of our unsightly lawn. After 7 years of neglect due to other projects inside the house, it was finally time to turn my attention to the garden.
The decision was made to dig up the whole of the lawn and start again. This may seem a little drastic for some of you, but my garden was in a terrible state.
It needed a major overhaul to make the most of the area we had available.
I used to think that people with decking areas had huge gardens and it was more of a status symbol than a part of the garden that anyone can enjoy. You see my garden is very small, but by taking the time to design and try out different ideas I was able to create an area of peace and tranquility.
