Timber vs composite decking: what's right for your Newcastle garden?

In Newcastle's climate, the choice between timber and composite decking matters. Treated softwood (like pressure-treated pine) is the most affordable option and can last 15–25 years with maintenance. Hardwood (like Ipe or Balau) is more durable and attractive but pricier. Composite decking — made from wood fibre and plastic — requires virtually no maintenance, doesn't splinter, and is increasingly popular, though costs more upfront. A local carpenter in Newcastle can advise on the best material for your budget, garden aspect, and usage patterns. Post on Quote2 to find experienced local decking installers.
