Our top 3 tips on styling your plants with your decking.

garden decking

Plants are the perfect way to elevate the atmosphere of your garden. Whether you’re creating a social spot, or the perfect place to kick back and relax at the end of the day, plants can be used to great effect to create whatever kind of garden atmosphere you want. What’s more, plants partner beautifully with composite decking to create a sleek, modern outdoor space. If that’s something you’re interested in, we can help you with that here at Savoy Timber.

We’ve supplied quality composite and timber decking solutions to our customers for decades, and over all that time, we’ve learned a lot about how to perfectly partner our pristine decking with plants and flowers. So, here are our top three tips on how you can style your decking with some pleasant plant life!

Populate with some small plant pots

Small plant pots are a great way to frame your outdoor area. They’re a low-maintenance border option that’s attractive, and will complement your outdoor decking beautifully. Regardless of the type of aesthetic you’re trying to create in your garden, there’s a plant pot out there to suit your tastes. A clay plant pot, for example, lends itself particularly well to a more rustic design (perfect when set around a timber decking solution), whereas a ceramic pot is more suited to a more modern aesthetic.

Consider a hanging basket

Hanging baskets allow you to showcase the beauty of your garden from a slightly higher perspective. Much like plant pots, they’re extremely low-maintenance, and they can provide . an eye-catching pop of colour to your garden design. They can be easily fixed to your outside wall with a bracket, but just make sure that it’s properly secured before you attempt to hang anything from it (you don’t want your lovely new hanging basket to end up on the floor!).

Add a trellis for a change of perspective

A trellis is a really effective way of bringing an extra bit of charm and coverage to your decking area. On top of this, a trellis also serves as a fantastic way of defining the overall space it occupies, creating focal feature that’s sure to draw the attention of any visitors. Effective for visually breaking up large areas of brickwork, and adding an elevated floral element to your garden, a trellis can be easily secured to any walls that already exist around your property, and it’s a fantastic addition to make to any kind of garden design.

Plants and flowers are a great way to take your garden design to new heights. A floral element can bring a real sense of sophistication, as well as stunning natural beauty to your garden space, and they look particularity delightful when set against the backdrop of a quality decking set up.
