Engineered Decking Solutions for Kingston Properties
The Tree Amigos install composite and hardwood decking in Kingston upon Thames, KT1, KT2 and KT3, utilizing premium Millboard and Trex systems along with luxury hardwood and softwood options.
Decking creates an effortless, level transition from your indoor kitchen or living room to the garden. Across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames — from Victorian villas in Surbiton and 1930s family homes in New Malden to riverside developments near Kingston Bridge and grand plots in Coombe Hill — our decking structures are precision engineered to conquer tricky site levels and varied ground conditions.
Kingston's geology transitions from sandy, gravelly riverside alluvium near the Thames to dense, moisture-retentive London clay further inland in Chessington and Tolworth. To ensure lifelong stability, every deck is constructed on a strength-graded C24 structural timber subframe, elevated on breathable geotextile membrane and structural pedestals on concrete pad footings to isolate timber from ground moisture.
We are based in South London (~18-20 miles via the A205 and A3), operating daily across Kingston upon Thames with zero travel surcharges and dedicated founder-led supervision on every build.
