Project completed by Greenoak Concept & Design for Mr & Mrs Harris – Benfleet, Essex
Background
Mr & Mrs Harris, based in Benfleet, Essex, were looking to enhance their outdoor living space by installing decking around their garden room. Their goal was to create a clean, modern, and low-maintenance area where they could relax and entertain guests year-round.
The Challenge
After gathering several quotes from local companies, the Harris family found themselves frustrated. Many of the providers they spoke with had limited experience working with maintenance-free composite decking. Instead, they repeatedly recommended traditional timber solutions, which did not align with the Harris’ vision due to the ongoing upkeep required, such as staining, sealing, and general maintenance.
The couple were specifically seeking a long-lasting, hassle-free alternative that would maintain its appearance without the need for regular treatment.
Our Approach
Understanding their requirements, we provided a tailored consultation focused entirely on composite decking solutions. We walked Mr & Mrs Harris through the benefits of composite materials, including durability, weather resistance, and minimal maintenance.
We also shared examples of previous installations to demonstrate our experience and reassure them of the quality and finish they could expect.
The Solution
We designed and installed a bespoke composite decking area surrounding their garden room, carefully considering the layout to maximise both functionality and visual appeal. The chosen materials complemented the existing garden features, creating a seamless and modern outdoor space.
The installation was completed efficiently and to a high standard, with attention to detail throughout.
The Result
Mr & Mrs Harris were delighted with the final outcome. They now have a stylish, practical outdoor area that requires little to no maintenance, allowing them to enjoy their garden without the ongoing work associated with timber decking.
The project not only met but exceeded their expectations, providing a long-term solution that added value and usability to their home.
Client Feedback
“We’re so pleased we found a company that truly understood what we wanted. After speaking to others who kept pushing timber, it was refreshing to work with professionals who specialise in composite decking. The result is exactly what we hoped for—modern, tidy, and completely hassle-free.”
