Cedar Wood Decking and Garden Transformation in Whinney Hill, Stockton-on-Tees
This hard and soft landscaping project in Whinney Hill, Stockton-on-Tees centred on a large cedar wood decking area, curved sandstone paving, new fencing, lawn installation and carefully selected planting. The aim was to create a more attractive and usable outdoor space for relaxing, entertaining and spending time with family and friends.

The clients wanted a garden that felt more welcoming and practical while providing plenty of space for outdoor furniture and social gatherings. By combining natural materials with carefully planned planting, the finished garden offers interest throughout the year while remaining easy to maintain.
Creating a Garden for Outdoor Living
This project involved a combination of paving, decking, fencing, lawn installation, planting and tree work. Each element was designed to complement the others and create a garden that felt connected rather than divided into separate areas.
The curved sandstone patio created a practical space for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the planting helps soften the hard landscaping and introduce colour, texture and seasonal interest.
The result is a garden that works equally well for relaxing during the day or entertaining family and friends during the warmer months.
Large Cedar Wood Decking Area
One of the most striking features of this project is the large cedar wood decking area which is shown in the featured image at the top of this page. Cedar wood remains one of the most attractive timbers available for garden decking, thanks to its rich colour, distinctive grain and natural character.
The cedar decking was designed as a major feature within the garden and provided a large area for outdoor seating, dining and entertaining. Its natural colouring complemented the sandstone paving and planting scheme, helping tie the different parts of the garden together.
As the cedar timber matures, it develops additional character while retaining its attractive appearance. Combined with the surrounding landscaping, the deck creates a focal point that can be enjoyed throughout the year and provides a practical extension of the outdoor living space.

Sandstone Paving and Garden Features
The curved sandstone patio forms another important part of the design. Sandstone remains a popular choice for garden paving because of its natural appearance and ability to complement both traditional and contemporary gardens.
Decorative edging and carefully planned borders help define the patio area while linking it naturally with the surrounding lawn and planting beds.

Planting, Turfing and Finishing Touches
The planting scheme played an important role in bringing the garden to life. Trees, shrubs and ornamental planting were carefully selected to add colour, texture and structure throughout the seasons.
A new lawn helped soften the overall appearance of the garden while providing open space that balances the larger paved and decked areas.
Decorative slate and weed control membrane were also used within planted areas to help reduce maintenance and keep the garden looking tidy.

Fencing and Tree Work
Close board fencing helped provide privacy while creating a neat and attractive boundary around the garden.
Tree work formed part of the overall project and helped prepare the site for the new layout. Combined with the new planting and lawn, these improvements helped create a more open and balanced garden.
