Cost of decking or patio cheaper options

In most cases a patio would be a cheaper option but it all depends on the martials you choose to use. Many thanks tony

Hi This will all depend on the height you want the patio/deck and the materials you choose to use. It will also depend on access as well as what is in the area you plan to install the patio/deck For small areas using basic paving or standard decking there will not be a big difference in costs. Once you start using higher quality paving or decking then this can make a difference. My advice would be to get at least three quotes but make sure they are all quoting for the same thing otherwise it can be confusing. Therefore make sure the paving or decking is the same for each quote.

With decking you would need to form a sub frame (joist's) to take the decking boards. Theese would be fixed to posts anchored in the ground bedded in Concrete. For a small area cost would be around £100sqm for patio and decking around £110 supply and fit excluding vat. Depends what finish slabs/decking you went for this would be standard forest decking boards or sandstone paving slabs. Hope this helps, The M.o.a.t Construction Team
