Deck Remodelling

An existing deck that no longer suits how your Southampton garden is used does not always need to be torn out and started again from scratch. Deck remodelling from Edens Edge landscaping changes the size, shape, level or layout of an existing deck, working with what is structurally sound and rebuilding what needs to change.

A deck that was built years ago, perhaps by a previous owner or to a different set of needs, can end up not fitting how the household uses the garden now, too small for the furniture you actually want, the wrong shape for the space, or at the wrong level relative to the rest of the garden. Deck remodelling from Edens Edge landscaping reworks an existing deck to better suit how it is used now, assessing what is structurally sound and can be kept, and what needs to be rebuilt to achieve the change.

Is Deck Remodelling Right for Your Garden?

When Deck remodelling Makes Sense in Southampton

The first situation is a deck that is structurally sound but the wrong size or shape for how the household wants to use it. Perhaps a deck that was built as a small platform now needs to be larger to fit a dining set, or a deck with an awkward shape would work better as a more regular layout. Deck remodelling can extend or reshape an existing deck, working with the sound parts of the existing structure where possible and building new sections to achieve the changed footprint.

The second situation is a deck at a level that no longer suits the garden, perhaps because changes elsewhere in the garden, a new lawn level, a different patio height, or other landscaping changes, mean the deck height no longer relates correctly to what is around it. Deck remodelling can address this by adjusting the deck's level, which may involve rebuilding the substructure to a different height while reusing or replacing the decking boards above.

The third situation is a deck that has multiple sections or levels and the household wants to reconfigure how these relate to each other, perhaps combining separate areas into one larger space, or adding a connecting section between two existing levels. Deck remodelling works through what is achievable structurally and rebuilds the layout to the new configuration.

How Our Deck remodelling Service Works

Deck remodelling starts with assessing the existing deck, its current structure, what condition the substructure and foundations are in, and what the household wants to change. Edens Edge landscaping holds Level 3 construction qualifications and assesses whether the existing foundations and substructure can support the planned changes, or whether they need to be reinforced or rebuilt as part of the remodelling.

Where the existing structure is sound and the change involves extending the deck or altering its shape, Edens Edge landscaping ties new framing into the existing substructure where appropriate, ensuring the new and existing sections work as a single structure rather than separate elements that behave differently under load or in response to Southampton's seasonal wet and dry cycles.

Where the change involves altering the level of the deck, this generally means rebuilding the substructure to the new height, since posts and bearers are specific to the height they were originally built for. Edens Edge landscaping plans this work to integrate correctly with the surrounding garden at the new level, including any steps or transitions that result from the level change.

Once the structural changes are complete, the decking surface is finished to match the existing boards where they are being retained, or replaced to suit the new layout. Edens Edge landscaping advises on whether existing boards can be reused as part of the new layout or whether new boards are the better option, particularly where the existing boards have already had some years of wear.

FAQ's

Frequent Asked Questions

Common questions about Deck remodelling from Edens Edge landscaping, covering Southampton and surrounding areas.

Can my existing deck be made bigger without starting again completely?

In many cases, yes. Edens Edge landscaping assesses the existing structure and foundations to determine whether they can support an extension, and where they can, new framing is tied into the existing substructure to extend the deck. Where the existing foundations are not adequate for the larger size, additional foundations are added for the new section. Deck remodelling works with what is sound rather than assuming everything needs to be rebuilt.

Can the height of an existing deck be changed?

Yes, though this generally means rebuilding the substructure to the new height, since the posts and bearers supporting the deck are specific to the height they were originally built for. Edens Edge landscaping can advise on what is involved in changing the level of your deck and how it would integrate with the surrounding garden at the new height.

Can existing decking boards be reused in a remodelled deck?

Sometimes, depending on their condition and how the new layout works. Edens Edge landscaping assesses the condition of the existing boards as part of Deck remodelling and will advise on whether they are worth reusing or whether new boards would give a better result, particularly where the existing boards have already had some years of wear.

Can two separate deck areas be combined into one?

Often, yes, depending on the levels involved and the structure of each existing area. Edens Edge landscaping assesses what is achievable and rebuilds the layout to combine separate areas into a single larger space where this is structurally possible, or advises on alternatives where the level difference between the areas makes a single combined deck impractical.
