Bespoke deck installed by Marshall & Co. in Perthshire

Decking Perth & Perthshire

A deck that's properly built and well maintained extends your living space outdoors for months of the year. Marshall & Co. builds decks that age well and stay safe underfoot.

Decks That Earn Their Keep

A badly built deck in Scotland deteriorates fast. Soft timber that isn't treated properly, joists that trap moisture, and inadequate fixing into the substrate are common issues. Lee has seen all the ways a deck fails prematurely, and builds to avoid every one of them.

Marshall & Co. builds both hardwood and composite decks depending on client preference and the context of the property. Hardwood develops character with age and can be maintained to look exceptional for decades. Composite offers a very low maintenance alternative that performs reliably through Perthshire winters without cracking or warping.

Every deck Lee builds is designed around the space and how it connects to the house. Balustrades, integrated lighting, planters, and steps are all available as part of the design instead of bolt-on extras. The whole thing gets planned once, priced once, and built to the agreed specification. Decking pairs well with a garden room if you are looking to create a complete outdoor living space.

Decking FAQs

Common questions about our decking service. Anything else on your mind, call us directly and we will be happy to help.

Get in Touch
What materials do you use for decking?
We work with a range of timber decking boards, from pressure-treated softwood to hardwood species such as Siberian larch and composite options. The material is chosen based on your budget, maintenance preferences, and the setting of the property. We will walk you through the options at the consultation stage.
Does decking require planning permission?
In most cases, residential decking in Scotland falls under permitted development and does not require planning permission, provided it is no more than 30cm above ground level and does not cover more than 50% of the garden. There are exceptions for listed buildings or certain conservation areas, and we will flag any concerns during the initial consultation.
How long does a decking installation take?
A straightforward deck for a standard garden can typically be completed in two to four days. Larger, multi-level, or more complex structures with built-in seating or lighting will take longer. A realistic programme is confirmed once the scope is agreed.
How do I maintain a timber deck?
Timber decking benefits from an annual clean and the application of a suitable oil or preservative treatment, particularly in Scotland where rainfall and frost are factors. We can advise on the appropriate product for the species of timber installed.
Can you build decking on sloping ground?
Yes. Sloping gardens are very common and raised or stepped decking structures are a practical solution. The subframe design is adjusted to suit the gradient, and all structural elements are properly supported and anchored.
Do you install decking lighting or built-in features?
Yes. We can incorporate low-voltage LED deck lighting, built-in bench seating, balustrades, and privacy screening as part of the overall build. These are discussed and costed at the quotation stage.
What is the lifespan of a well-built timber deck?
A properly constructed and maintained timber deck will typically last 15 to 25 years depending on the species used and the level of care it receives. Hardwoods and composite materials generally have a longer lifespan than softwood options.
