Hi,
I'm looking for a couple of ideas and costs on Garden designs. I have a big enough back garden. Its not very level, Will this drastically increase the costs?. I'd really like to build decking in the back for a place for us wine and dine in the amazing summer evenings.
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Joe. |

I was put off decking by someone who warned me that rats can nest and become a problem under decking.......I have little experience, so I'm not sure if this is more likely in the city or in the countryside.
I put down stone paving instead.....! |

vernim will not nest there then your walking and moving around on top of it. I had also heard this, but vernim, like all animals want quiet and safety for their young. |

I looked at decking when we redoing our back garden and because ones I saw had become slippy in wet weather we went for Indian Sandstone instead.
Mind you, sandstone can become slippy if you let that black gunge build up on it. A little bit of bleach solves that. _________________ .
