Wessex Verde Decking, Antique
The Dynamic Deck
There is something really nice about stepping out of your back door and walking onto a beautiful garden deck. It makes the perfect excuse to enjoy your morning coffee while watching nature happen in your garden, or read a book in the evening while watching the sunset.
If you are looking to add a balcony to your property, decking is a great option for this too. Equally, if your garden is on a slope, decking is a practical solution that can easily be raised to meet your outside doors, with some matching steps leading down to your garden.
Wessex Composite Decking
For all-round decking, we recommend using our own-brand Wessex composite decking for your garden project. At the Stone Zone, we encourage sustainable options where possible, so instead of traditional timber decking made of virgin wood, we offer this composite decking made up of 55% recycled hardwood, 35% recycled plastics and 10% additives.
Wessex decking boards come in a standard size of 3.6m x 148mm and use standard clips and screws, which can be purchased separately. These dual-sided boards consist of one grooved side, for a smart, linear finish, and one wood-grained side made to replicate real wood for a natural look.
Available colours: 6 colour options
Slate Grey, Anthracite, Black, Brown, Oak and White
Black Ice Chippings
The Beautiful Border
Once you have decided on your soft landscaping and hard landscaping features, add that professional finish by incorporating borders around them.
Decorative stones are a great option for adding a burst of colour, whether it is a matching colour or a contrasting one. We have over 75 choices of decorative stones, including chippings, pebbles, slate and rockery pieces.
To separate each landscaping feature in a smart and attractive way, check out our CORE Flexible Steel Edging, available in many colours and sizes.
Oak Sleepers
The Gardener's Veg Patch
Maybe this is the year you commit to growing your own produce; there is nothing better than eating fresh strawberries or tomatoes straight from the vine! Raised beds are a great way to create long-lasting fruit and vegetable patches, minimising the chances of insects such as snails finding their way to your crops!
Our pine sleepers and oak sleepers are high in quality and each guaranteed for a number of years for their strength and durability. They make great retaining walls for both ground-level and raised plant beds of any kind.
And when it comes to soils and composts, you could not have more on offer! Some of our best-reviewed soils include our Fruit & Veg Topsoil, Wessex BS3882 Topsoil and Beds & Borders Topsoil.
Wessex Turf
The Luscious Lawn
Is a garden really a garden if it does not have a luscious green lawn of some kind? Lawns make a great space for enjoying some natural greenery, as well as practically absorbing rain in heavy downpours and providing a space for birds to find worms.
Real or fake?
For those looking for real turf grass, our Wessex Turf is an award-winning, well-loved option that is high in quality and well established, for the best chances when adding to your garden.
For those who are unable to maintain turf grass, why not consider artificial grass? We have many options, ranging from our Wessex brand to award-winning Easigrass, which has been used in RHS gardens.
