Project Overview
We recently completed a beautifully crafted decking project in Lytchett Bay, Poole, transforming an ordinary residential garden into a warm and welcoming outdoor haven.
Using rich Jatoba hardwood decking boards paired with a sustainable Plas-Pro recycled plastic sub-frame, we designed a family-friendly space that balances natural beauty with long-lasting durability. The addition of a contemporary Larch pergola adds both shade and character, making this garden retreat a perfect place to relax and unwind.
Key Project Highlights:

A Rich and Inviting Outdoor Space
The deep red hues of the Jatoba hardwood immediately draw the eye and give this deck its signature warmth. Whether dry or freshly rained on, the vibrant grain and polished finish of the timber bring the space to life, adding depth and dimension that artificial materials simply can’t match.
The layout maximises the usable area of the garden, making it ideal for everything from quiet morning coffees to summer BBQs with the family. With the pergola in place, it’s a space that feels equally welcoming in the sun or the shade.
Sustainable Strength Beneath the Surface
Underneath the beauty lies a powerhouse of sustainability and structural integrity. We installed a full Plas-Pro recycled plastic sub-frame - rot-proof, weather-resistant, and built for decades of dependable use. Unlike traditional timber subframes, Plas-Pro won’t warp, twist, or decay, making it an ideal choice for homeowners who value longevity without ongoing maintenance headaches.
This eco-conscious choice pairs perfectly with the hardwood decking, ensuring the structure remains solid no matter the season.


A Pergola Made for Peaceful Moments
The sleek Larch pergola adds a contemporary architectural touch that elevates the entire garden. More than just a design feature, it offers dappled shade throughout the day, creating a soft, comfortable space to escape the midday sun.
Its natural tone complements the warmth of the Jatoba deck below, tying the whole space together in a way that feels modern yet timeless. It's a small touch that makes a big difference - offering comfort, style, and an invitation to slow down and enjoy the simple moments at home.
